10. Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant
Market price: $18.93
If you had any doubt about who the king of the dinosaurs is, this card shows who the biggest and most terrifying is right off the bat.
Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant is a special card for a few reasons: it’s a powerful creature with a unique enter-the-battlefield (ETB) trigger. Second, Ghalta is a dinosaur, which means that it benefits from all of the dinosaur tribal support cards in Magic. There are many powerful dinosaur cards that can be used to make Ghalta even more powerful. Plus, who doesn’t like dinosaurs?
9. Sovereign Okinec Ahau (Showcase)
Market price: $20.52
Sovereign Okinec Ahau (showcase) is a variant of a powerful and versatile card that can be used to create a variety of different decks. One of the reasons why this particular version of the card is so valuable is because it is only available in the Lost Caverns of Ixalan Variants booster set.
In terms of gameplay, the Sovereign Okinec Ahau (Showcase) card functions the same as the regular version of the card. However, its unique artwork and collectibility make it a special prize for Magic players.
8. The Millennium Calendar (Extended Art)
Market price: $21.66
The Millennium Calendar extended art card is another card that’s pretty rare and a challenge to get ahold of from packs. The Extended Art version of The Millennium Calendar is only available in the Lost Caverns of Ixalan Variants booster set, which is a premium set with a limited print run. This makes the card more collectible and valuable than the regular version. Additionally, the card itself is rather strong. It can be used to ramp, draw cards, and win the game outright. It is especially powerful in decks that focus on taking extra turns, as it can allow you to draw a large number of cards and put a lot of pressure on your opponents.
7. Chimil, the Inner Sun
Market price: $23.43
Chimil's ability to make your spells uncounterable and give you access to a powerful discover effect makes it a very versatile card. Chimil decks can be built to focus on a variety of different strategies, such as combo, aggro, control, and midrange.
Additionally, it’s a unique and beautiful card that is tied to the lore of Ixalan. Chimil is the Inner Sun, the source of all life and magic on Ixalan. Its artwork displays a sense of awe and aloofness appropriate to its subject matter.
6. Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might (Showcase)
Market price: $23.71
Ojer Axonil is one of the new God sub-type cards introduced in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, and the showcase version of this card is one of the most valuable Lost Caverns of Ixalan cards right now on the secondary card market. Ojer Axonil's ability to turn any amount of noncombat damage into damage equal to its power makes it a very potent threat in any deck. Ojer Axonil can be used in aggro decks to push through damage, in midrange decks to finish off opponents, and in control decks to remove threats and win the game outright.
5. Resplendent Angel (Borderless)
