Despite a lack of booster fun variations, several Core Set 2020 cards are still worth money in Magic: The Gathering, years after the set’s release.

A majority of Core Set 2020 (M20) regular card versions fell under $15 with the release of Throne of Eldraine (ELD) and remained that way until the set rotated out of the Standard format. An increase of players within Commander and other casual formats like Cube has helped a variety of M20 cards retain their value.

From an elemental horror to the legendary vampire planeswalker on Innistrad, here are the M20 cards still worth money, according to MTGGoldfish and MTGStocks.

Veil of Summer

Banned in the Pioneer format, Veil of Summer has retained its value via its foil version which is worth around $60. WotC also created a Secret Lair manga version of the Instant spell, with it priced at around $25. The regular M20 version of Veil of Summer is valued at around $8.

Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord

The legendary planeswalker has a prerelease promo foil version worth around $42. Sorin’s planeswalker stamp foil and regular foil version are worth around $35 to $40.
