Wizards of the Coast officially released the Magic: The Gathering set Theros: Beyond Death on Jan. 24, 2020. The set features a number of singles that have retained their value, and some that have increased over time.
Several months after the release of THB, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, shutting down tabletop events while the price of most Magic cards plummeted. With the release of Zendikar Rising in the fall of 2020, and Kaldheim (KHM) in 2021, a number of THB cards experienced a revival in price and gameplay across multiple Magic formats. And despite several sets in 2022 having a hard time maintaining value, THB continues to contain several MTG cards worth money.
A couple of the THB booster fun versions are worth over $100, while others are priced between $50 and $100. Several regular versions are still worth over $10.
From powerful elder giants to gods and nymphs, here are the THB cards still worth money, according to MTGGoldfish, Card Kingdom, and MTGStocks.
Kroxa, Titan of Death’s Hunger
Kroxa, Titan of Death’s Hunger initially spiked at the start of 2020, climbing over 100 percent in value over the course of a week. Leading up to the 2021 Standard rotation, Kroxa, Titan of Death’s Hunger fell in price for the first time.
The extended-art foil version of Kroxa, Titan of Death’s Hunger is valued at just over $100 while the non-foil version is priced at $35.
