1. Thrumming Hivepool
   A dream for Sliver Commander players, Thrumming Hivepool is a rare artifact with Affinity for Slivers, meaning it can often be cast for little to no mana in dedicated decks. It grants all Slivers double strike and haste, turning your swarm into a lethal force, and creates two 1/1 Sliver tokens each upkeep. Its Extended Art variant is a collector’s gem, with foil copies fetching high value due to Sliver fans’ love for blinged-out staples. This card’s ability to supercharge Sliver strategies makes it a top pick for tribal enthusiasts. (Market price: $19.33 normal / $20.68 foil) 12
2. Exalted Sunborn
   This mythic Angel Wizard is a Commander powerhouse with its token-doubling ability, reminiscent of Doubling Season. For five mana (or two with Warp), Exalted Sunborn doubles the number of tokens created under your control, boasts flying and lifelink, and synergizes beautifully with go-wide strategies. Its Warp ability allows a cheap, temporary cast that can be recast later for full effect, making it flexible for both aggressive and long-term plans. Expect to see it in Angel-themed and token-heavy decks. (Market price: $20.06 normal / $27.54 foil) 12
3. Tezzeret, Cruel Captain
   The set’s sole planeswalker, Tezzeret, Cruel Captain, is a colorless artifact-focused juggernaut. For three mana, Tezzeret tutors one-mana artifacts, buffs artifact creatures, and is tough to remove due to his static loyalty-boosting ability. His ultimate can swing games, and his Borderless Triumphant variant is a high-value chase card. Perfect for artifact-heavy Commander decks, Tezzeret rivals classics like Karn and Ugin for colorless strategies. (Market price: $35.62 normal / $40.00 est. foil) 19
4. Tannuk, Steadfast Second
   A mythic Kavu Pilot, Tannuk grants haste to your creatures and gives red creature and artifact cards in your hand the Warp ability. This allows you to cheat high-cost cards like Portal to Phyrexia into play for three mana, reaping enter-the-battlefield triggers before recasting them later. Its synergy with cards like The One Ring and Fury makes it a Timeless and Commander staple, with the Borderless Triumphant version being a premium pull. (Market price: $18.38 normal / $22.00 est. foil) 19
5. Anticausal Vestige
   The set’s only Eldrazi, this mythic creature shines with its Warp ability and powerful leave-the-battlefield trigger. When it exits, you draw a card and can put a permanent onto the battlefield tapped, based on your land count. This makes it a ramp-friendly bomb for Eldrazi Commander decks, with Japan Showcase variants driving collector demand. Its synergy with cards like Zhulodok, Void Gorger ensures it’s a force in big-mana strategies. (Market price: $20.00 normal / $25.00 foil) 20
