Magic: The Gathering Crashers and Climbers: The EoE Power Rankings
- Crashers: When hyped cards nosedive harder than my first attempt at sourdough. Ouch, my wallet.
- Climbers: Those sweet, sneaky cards that spike in value when nobody’s looking.
Crashers: Songs and Spellcraft
Edge of Eternities had big, bombastic promises. Some cards were supposed to be the next Jeskai Ascendancy. Instead, their price charts look like a rollercoaster stuck on the drop. Exhibit A: Songs and Spellcraft. Once beloved by speculators, now it’s barely more than lunch-money territory. Moral: Never trust pretty foils with no true home.

Hey, just because a card isn’t already pricey doesn’t mean it doesn’t have sick potential. We made a list of the most valuable Edge of Eternities cards you should probably read before going all-in on bulk rares again.
Climbers: I’ll Have the Lobster
Let’s talk about this damn lobster. Ragost, Deft Gastronaut is climbing faster than your blood pressure at FNM. Not the priciest, but at a couple bucks for the showcase, he’s turning heads—mainly those of people who like their artifact hate with a side of seafood.
Pair him with Jumpstart’s Tempting Witch—currently a whopping 13 cents—and you’ve cooked up a sneaky Mardu engine that can poison, ping, and banquet your way to a casual table win.
Oh, and speaking of value, The Gaffer is losing its ‘underrated’ status faster than my hope for a balanced metagame. It shot from $4 to over $12 lately, and with those synergies, it might still not be done.
The not-so-cheap Nuka-Cola Vending Machine is still bubbling at $18+ for non-foil but pumps out Food and Treasure tokens with unsettling efficiency. Put those three together—congratulations, you’re now running a powerhouse kitchen instead of a deck.
Bonus: The Most Valuable EoE Cards This Week
Feeling lucky? Don’t count on it. Icetill Explorer (Showcase – Fracture Foil) is ringing up at $382.16 at launch. That’s not a typo. It’s followed by Exalted Sunborn and Starfield Vocalist at $320 and $287.55, respectively. If you crack one, your rent is safe… for now. But with prices yoyo-ing every hour, don’t get too attached.

Honorable Mentions and Penny Stocks
If your wallet’s emptier than a Standard metagame post-ban, take solace: Baloth Woodcrasher is 8 cents and could be the win-con your revamped World Shaper deck deserves. Szarel, Genesis Shepherd also lets you relive your mill deck trauma by playing lands straight from your yard. Value city.
Conclusion: It’s Never Boring in MTG Land
If there’s one absolute, it’s this: the world of Magic: The Gathering Crashers and Climbers is a never-ending market-timing experiment. Will lobsters continue to feast? Will The Gaffer break the $20 ceiling? Either way, buy what you love, sell before you cry, and maybe, just maybe, don’t take Magic finance advice from a guy picking through bulk bins.
