The 15 Most Valuable Legions Cards

Gempalm Incinerator | Art by Luca Zontini

Hey, everyone! Last time, I brought you the 15 most valuable Onslaught cards. Today, we're onto the second set in Onslaught block, Legions (LGN). Legions predictably continued the previous set's laser focus on typal synergies, but with two twists. First, Slivers returned this set after first appearing in Tempest Block. Second, Mistform Ultimus made its debut, which is notable because its rules text served as the prototype for the changeling mechanic. That's pretty cool, but is it one of the most valuable cards from Legions? Let's find out!

15. Toxin Sliver

Market Price: $3.52

A four-mana 3/3 is far from playable in Constructed formats, but that's the beauty of Slivers. It almost doesn't matter what an individual creature's stats are. What does matter is the ability it grants to your team (and any Slivers your opponents may have in play). This essentially gives your board an enhanced version of deathtouch. This ability still isn't anything to write home about, but it still manages to figure in about 10-20% of popular Slivers decks on EDHREC.com, usually led by The First Sliver, Sliver Overlord, or Sliver Hivelord.

Its lack of a reprint outside of Secret Lair and The List may be keeping it hanging on, though.

14. Brood Sliver

Market Price: $4.49

Brace yourself, because Slivers are a popular creature type even in 2026, and Legions' other stuff hasn't had too much staying power, so this isn't the last of its type on this list. This one helps you go wide, which multiples your forces alongside Sliver "lords", like Muscle Sliver, Might Sliver, and Megantic Sliver.

Ol' Broody is also a lot more popular than its Toxic sibling above, attaining Commander Sliver deck play rates of up to 65%.

13. Withered Wretch

Market Price: $4.69

As a piece of graveyard hate, it's pretty difficult to compete with the likes of Dauthi Voidwalker, Endurance, and Bojuka Bog for all their versatility. Still, Wretch is a Zombie, and that matters in typal decks led by Gisa, the Hellraiser and Gisa and Geralf. Its ability has extra utility in Ketramose, the New Dawn, so it's a fine card in that format and a popular two-drop in Premodern mono-black decks headlined by Hypnotic Specter.

12. Dreamborn Muse

Market Price: $4.77

It's certainly not the most popular muse in Commander, but this mill-enabler can slot into dedicated decks like The Mindskinner, The Wise Mothman, and Bruvac the Grandiloquent, among others, alongside archetype powerhouses like Mesmeric Orb, Memory Erosion, and Court of Cunning.

11. Shifting Sliver

Market Price: $4.82

Sliver? I'd say we're getting the whole cake today! This one is a finisher, something you might want to hold on to until your team is nice and pumped and you stand to get in for a ton of damage through a board stall. This particular type of effect has a lot of redundancy, though. You can get a lot of the same juice from squeezing Shadow Sliver, Winged Sliver, or Galerider Sliver. Still, redundancy is good, and this will get the job done as long as your opponents aren't also playing Slivers or Shapeshifters with the changeling mechanic.

10. Caller of the Claw

Market Price: $5.20

This is one card that has only seen one reprint, in Commander 2015. Caller has a pretty cozy niche in that format: it's pretty good in Bear typal decks led by Ayula, Queen Among Bears, Duskana, the Rage Mother, and Kudo, King Among Bears. It is, itself, a 2/2, and it can produce a bunch more 2/2s (likely after a sweeper), so it powers your synergies with Dusk // Dawn, Return of the Wildspeaker, and more.

9. Synapse Sliver

Market Price: $6.47

This is a nice little one-two punch with Shifting Sliver and its analogues. Despite being reprinted in a Secret Lair and in Commander Masters, this sits comfortably in this top 10 list, likely because drawing cards is still a busted Magic: The Gathering ability in 2026. It's especially powerful in a deck helmed by Sliver Gravemother, as getting this into play with encore means each of your creatures draws cards equal to the number of opponents you have. You definitely want a lot of sources of evasion in your deck when you play this.

8. Keeper of the Nine Gales

Market Price: $7.06

This 1/2 for three reminds us that there were creature type synergies in Legions beyond Slivers. Even if it does mention Birds in its rules text, it actually doesn't show up in too many of those decks on EDHREC, or in any Constructed archetypes, for that matter. Kitchen table gamers may be miffed, then, that this costs a pretty penny as far as cards printed 2003 go, likely because it's a member of the Never Been Reprinted Club. Sure, it showed up on The List, but I'm not going to count that until I get shouted at in some comments section!

7. Root Sliver

Market Price: $7.57

Making your Slivers uncounterable is great in Commander, where stack interaction abounds. Heck, Counterspell itself is 47% of decks playing ! That makes it a pretty nifty tool in the typal arsenal, though you could also lean on other variations on this theme, like Prowling Serpopard. A Sliver is a Sliver, though!

You can jam this with Quick Sliver and the number two card on this list to just empty your hand with relative impunity. Any guesses which creature I'm talking about?

6. Magma Sliver

Market Price: $8.38

The first red Sliver on the list, this one has an ability that doesn't look like much but could actually blow out an opponent in combat. The play pattern I'm describing goes like this: you have a wide board, perhaps augmented by a bunch of Sliver tokens. You attack with most of your team but leave back a select few. Now, your opponents need to be careful with blocks, lest the untapped ones activate Magma's Sliver's ability to pump an unblocked attacker for lethal! This a deceptively flexible card, too: with Quick Sliver, you can catch enemies completely off-guard by casting this after blocks. Or, you can skip all of that trickiness and just have an evasive Sliver in play, letting you attack with just one or two creatures and leaving the rest of your army back to block.

5. Graveborn Muse

Market Price: $9.23

If it isn't a Sliver, then it's a muse! While it only appears in about 18,000 EDHREC decks, it still earned an honorable mention in Chris Guest's article on 20 best Zombie cards for Commander, alongside more popular spells like Army of the Damned and Noxious Ghoul.

Muse also goes into a Zombie-flavored mono-black deck in Premodern, alongside Specter, Wretch, and the format's best disruptive spells, including Diabolic Edict, Smother, and Cabal Therapy.

4. Essence Sliver

Market Price: $9.57

This essentially gives your Slivers lifelink, which can be good, especially when it offers even more upside, in the form of a combo finish:

If this weird and wonderful creature type interests you, check out EDHREC's Sliver typal tag, where you can learn more about how to build a deck around them. Over on that site, author Sikora also penned a guide on playing the deck differently for readers with more experience. I promise, that was the last Sliver on the list!

3. Phage the Untouchable

Market Price: $10.16

What a doozy of a card! You can't Reanimate her or otherwise cheat her into play, and casting a seven-mana 4/4 seems pretty unappealing in Commander. Her real use case is actually forcing opponents to put her into play under their control, causing them to lose the game instantly. There are a bunch of ways to do this, including Fractured Identity and Endless Whispers.

2. Seedborn Muse

Market Price: $16.48

Allow me to reminisce about my first Commander deck from about 15 years ago, Momir Vig, Simic Visionary, which aimed to assemble Muse alongside Leyline of Anticipation to tutor up a bunch of creatures and cast them all in one turn cycle. Its ability scales so well with the number of opponents you have, making this 2/4 a Commander powerhouse with over 320,000 decks to its name, according to EDHREC.

Fortunately, in 2026 you don't need to expend as much effort to do broken things with this. You can activate Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy, Lathril, Blade of the Elves, or Baylen, the Haymaker multiple times, for example.

1. Akroma, Angel of Wrath

Market Price: $17.24

She's always been her, so it's wonderful that Akroma is back to being a viable finisher in Premodern decks like Hermit Druid builds, where you can get her into the graveyard with that or Survival of the Fittest and cheat it into play with Karmic Guide, Animate Dead, or Volrath's Shapeshifter.

She's been reprinted several times, but with that gorgeous Ron Spears art and classic border, the iconic Legions printing certainly earns its spot at the top of this list.

Legion Me, When You're Not Strong

To the surprise of no one familiar with LGN, Slivers dominated this list due to the type's popularity in multiple formats, including Commander. Hopefully our final foray into Onslaught Block, Scourge, will yield more variety. See you then!
