The 10 Most Valuable MTG Cards from The List, September 2023 – #5 Cavern of Souls

Creature-matter archetypes are a prevalent aspect of Magic: The Gathering and Cavern of Souls remains one of the best-supported cards for the archetype. Having the confidence to cast your creature cards without the fear of countermagic is a fantastic feeling, especially when you overwhelm your opponent with synergistic effects. Cavern of Souls features heavily in multiple formats — including Modern, Legacy, and Commander.

Goblins, Elves, Slivers, and Humans are all much-loved creatures in Magic: The Gathering, and in a competitive landscape, Cavern of Souls plays a significant role in providing success. In addition, the card sees incidental play in strategies such as Modern Amulet Titan, where you want to ensure your Primeval Titan remains uncounterable to further your game plan. With that in mind, Cavern of Souls is an expensive card, as creature-matter archetypes typically want to run a complete playset to guarantee they can draw the card during games. Despite the numerous printings in Double Masters 2022 and Ultimate Masters, Cavern of Souls remains an expensive card and one you’ll want to open from The List.
