15 Most Valuable Druid Cards

Seton, Krosan Protector | Illustrated by Greg Staples

While Druid cards are present in Magic’s first set, Alpha, the creature type did not get officially codified until Antiquities, when the game introduced Citanul Druid. However, Ley Druid, Verduran Enchantress, and the iconic Llanowar Elves were all retroactively made into Druids.

You’ll often find the Druid type paired with Elves or other notable Green typal clans, as the type is most often associated with that segment of the color wheel. In fact, every card on this list is at least partially green, which makes sense since Druids “are strongly tied to plants, animals, fertility, the element of earth, and the land about them,” per the MTG Wiki.

But what are the most valuable Druid cards ever? Grab your Gilt-Leaf Archdruids and let’s find out.

15. Norwood Priestess – Portal Second Age

Market Price: $47.80

Kicking things off is this supremely scarce Portal Second Age creature, which boasts a Quicksilver Amulet- or Elvish Piper-style effect on a 1/1 Elf Druid body for .

While this card’s activated ability is limited to your first main phase (thanks weird, finicky rules for new players from the Portal sets), being able to put a massive threat into play for free from your hand is still quite a boon. Grab your Vaultborn Tyrants and Tyrranax Rexs and go crazy.

14. Bristly Bill, Spine Sower (Extended Art) – Outlaws of Thunder Junction

Market Price: $62.11

One of the newest cards on this last hails from the Wild West-themed Outlaws of Thunder Junction set and turns lands entering the battlefield on your side into an incremental +1/+1 counter boost.

Combine with multiple lands played per turn and capped off with a game-ending activated ability, which can be activated any number of times, mind you, so long as you have the mana for it, and this legendary Plant Druid certainly earns its over-$60 price point.

13. Argothian Enchantress – Urza’s Saga

Market Price: $67.22

The Enchantress sub-type of Druids once had its own creature type, which debuted all the way back in Alpha with the original Verduran Enchantress (more on her later). The Enchantress drew you a card whenever you cast an enchantment spell, which could get out of hand quickly.

Urza’s Saga, one of the best Magic sets ever, provided a redux for the Verduran Enchantress with an Argothian version, which also boasted shroud, meaning it couldn’t be targeted, either by you or your opponent. This card is the cornerstone of Premodern Enchantress decks, which continue to produce solid win rates in the format.

12. Calix, Guided by Fate (Planar Halo Foil) – March of the Machine: The Aftermath

Market Price: $71.49

One of the least well-received sets in Magic history, The Aftermath probably should have been a bonus sheet, much like The Big Score was for Outlaws of Thunder Junctions.

Either way, this legendary enchantment Human Druid creature is a dynamite enchantment/constellation-enabler, and one of the few cards from its home set that actually saw some play in Standard due to its strong synergies with other “enchantments matter” cards from the era. This ultra-rare Halo Foil version of the card is its most valuable.

11. Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary – Urza’s Destiny

Market Price: $74.53

One of the most valuable cards from the final set from Urza’s block, Urza’s Destiny, also happens to be one of the most valuable Druids ever. This legendary 2/1 creature for ostensibly doubles up the amount of green mana your Forests can produce.

As you might expect, that level of mana ramping comes in handy in a variety of formats, though not Commander, funnily enough, since this jovial emissary is actually banned in the format. Turns out doubling up mana production is simply too strong for the game’s most popular variant.

10. Clement, the Worrywort (Japanese Raised Foil Anime Card) – Bloomburrow

Market Price: $98.34

The rarest cards from 2024’s beloved Bloomburrow set are Japanese Raised Foil Anime cards, which could only be found in select Collector Boosters and featured singular artwork of some of the most notable legendary creatures from the set in unique anime-style artworks.

Clement, a legendary Frog Druid from the set, clocks in with a price tag just under $100 for the Raised Foil Anime version, which boasts artwork by Issei Murakami, who has only produced three cards for Magic so far; two of which are among the Bloomburrow raised foils.

9. Gala Greeters (Korean Foil Box Topper) – Streets of New Capenna

Market Price: $112.43

Streets of New Capenna gave the Elf Druid creature Gala Greeters a rare bit of regional flair. Every Set, Draft, and Collector Booster display included a traditional foil Box Topper version of the card, with the art and language matching the display’s language. Each version celebrates the culture tied to that region.

The most valuable of these box toppers is the Korean-language version, which features striking one-off rococo-style artwork courtesy of SENSEN, the only work that artist has produced for Magic.

8. Aerith, Last Ancient (Borderless Chocobo Track Foil Card) – Final Fantasy

Market Price: $148.55

Exclusive to the Final Fantasy set’s hard-to-find Chocobo Bundle, this Human Cleric Druid is a nifty “lifegain matters” commander option, as she can recur cards from your graveyard to your hand or the battlefield depending on how much life you’ve gained.

The Chocobo Bundle featured one of 12 exclusive Chocobo Track Foil cards with one-off artworks, of which Aerith is the fourth-most valuable, behind Tataru Taru, Snapcaster Mage, and Lulu, Stern Guardian.

7. Yedora, Grave Gardener (Serialized Multiverse Legends) – March of the Machine

Market Price: $324.50

The first serialized card herein first debuted in Commander 2021 as a legendary Treefolk Druid that turns any of your dead creatures into useful fertilizer by transforming them into basic Forests.

While it might not be quite as game-warping as Rofellos’ ability, that’s still a potent effect, especially if you manage to stick this creature before your opponent casts a board wipe.

6. Bloom Tender (Japan Showcase Fracture Foil) – Lorwyn Eclipsed

Market Price: $350.55

Beautiful one-off watercolor artwork from Yuyuharu (the only card produced by the artist for Magic) typifies this extremely rare Japan Showcase Elf Druid from Lorwyn Eclipsed.

Originally printed way back in 2008’s Eventide set, this card has seen a number of reprints over the years, from Secret Lair Drops to Special Guests appearances to Double Masters 2022, but this is the most valuable version of this mana-ramping 1/1 for by far.

5. Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty (Serialized Multiverse Legends) – March of the Machine

Market Price: $399.99

The Multiverse Legends bonus sheet from March of the Machine was home to a bevy of notable serialized Druid cards, and Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty is up next.

This cascade-focused Commander favorite has been reprinted a few times since its debut in 2020’s Commander Legends, but the most valuable by far is the serialized copy from MoM that boasts an Amonkhet-themed frame.

4. Hazel of the Rootbloom (Japanese Raised Foil Anime Card) – Bloomburrow Commander

Market Price: $457.74

This legendary Squirrel Druid from Bloomburrow Commander features two extremely interesting abilities, one of which is an activated mana ability, and the other a triggered token duplication effect.

Ultimately, this card is worth over $450 because of the eminent scarcity of Bloomburrow’s Raised Foil Anime cards. Even still, netting infinite turns with this legendary Druid, Time Sieve, and There and Back Again is sure to cause some chuckles at the Commander table.

3. Dina, Soul Steeper (Serialized Multiverse Legends) – March of the Machine

Market Price: $535.00

The most valuable serialized Druid is this fan favorite that was first introduced in 2021’s Strixhaven: School of Mages. A beloved Golgari () Dryad Druid that can go infinite with ease alongside Exquisite Blood or Bloodthirsty Conqueror, this serialized copy features a Mystical Archive-themed frame that hearkens back to Strixhaven’s first archive.

Dina ranks as the 12^th-most popular Golgari commander, per EDHREC, and if you use the serialized MOM copy as your actual commander, don’t mind the covetous looks from others around the table: it’s just petty jealousy for not having such a rare version of Dina.

2. Verduran Enchantress – Alpha

Market Price: $621.62 (via PriceCharting)

The first rare Druid card also ranks highly among the most valuable Druids ever, as you might expect. While this card was printed with the more literal “Enchantress” creature type upon its release back in 1993, it was errata’d to be a Druid for the Grand Creature Type Update of 2007.

With instantly recognizable artwork by Kev Brockschmidt, who only illustrated four Magic cards in his career, all of which are from Alpha, this 0/2 creature instantly created the Enchantress sub-theme, which continues to be a popular archetype today.

1. Llanowar Elves (Japan Showcase Fracture Foil) – Foundations

Market Price: $755.26

While Verduran Enchantress was the first rare Druid ever, the most iconic and popular Druid card ever is likely this classic mana dork that has been reprinted multiple times. This card’s omnipresence was so overstated, in fact, that Wizards of the Coast got sick of printing it and produced two other Elf Druid cards with the exact same cost, power, toughness, and ability: Fyndhorn Elves and Elvish Mystic.

Still, though, Llanowar Elves reigns supreme, and this copy of it from Foundations is understandably the most valuable Druid card ever, thanks to its stunning Fracture Foil finish and the singular anime-style artwork by Hisashi Momose. An amazing copy of the Elves, and there could only be #1 Druid herein. Long live Llanowar Elves.

Druidic Insistence

And there you have it. I hope those Druid cards represented a stroll down memory lane, or a look at some recent Druid cards that might’ve fallen by the wayside. Either way, if you’re playing with Druids, heed the flavor text of Druid’s Call from Odyssey: “Suffer the little creatures, for they may yet rise up and beat you senseless.”
