Having a significant impact on the Magic: The Gathering Modern format, the Modern Horizons set contains many cards worth money on the secondary market years after its release.
Printed in 2019, Modern Horizons (MH1) contained 209 new MTG cards out of 254 that was legal to play in the Modern format. The set was designed for gameplay in the Limited format, including Draft and Sealed, while also having a huge impact on the Modern and Commander formats. A few cards from the MH1 set were banned, like Wrenn and Six from the Legacy format. But that didn’t stop Wizards of the Coast from printing Modern Horizons 2 (MH2) in 2021, which to this day still has over a dozen cards worth money on the secondary market.
Unlike more recent MTG sets, MH1 wasn’t packed with a variety of variants. Foil cards were a normal traditional foil and there weren’t several alternative art versions either. Prices for the Modern Horizons set are subject to change and will get updated when any major MH1 price shifts take place.
