MTG Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths cards worth money

The 2021 Standard rotation within Magic: The Gathering dropped some Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths card values while others have risen in price over time.

Upon the release of IKO, Companion cards dominated the meta. Prices fluctuated throughout the set’s run in Standard, with a few maintaining value post-2021 Standard rotation. Many of the Triome lands are worth between $10 and $40, depending on the version. And several IKO Godzilla Showcase versions are still worth money on the secondary market, with some variants priced up to $50.
