Quick answer: The most expensive card in Magic: The Gathering’s Avatar: The Last Airbender set is the raised foil Avatar Aang, which has been selling for about $4,500. Its art is by Bryan Konietzko, one of the show’s creators, and it turns up in less than 1% of Collector Boosters. Next come the four Neon Ink battle pose cards: Toph (about $1,200), Fire Lord Zuko, Aang, Swift Savior and Katara (each roughly $550 to $700). After those five, no card is worth more than $100.
Prices checked November 3, 2026 on TCGplayer: market price, plus the median of the last five near-mint English sales of each card’s priciest version. We re-check these regularly.

The raised foil Avatar Aang (about $4,500)
This is the set’s headliner, and it’s the only way to get this version of Avatar Aang: a borderless raised foil with art by Bryan Konietzko, who co-created the show. Wizards says it appears in less than 1% of Collector Boosters, and only in English-language cards, though those can show up in Collector Boosters of any language.
Its last five sales had a median of about $4,500, slightly under its $4,738 market price, so the price has been steady rather than climbing. With 12 Collector Boosters in a box and odds under 1% per pack, your chance of pulling one from a single box is under about 12%.
The four Neon Ink battle pose cards ($550 to $1,200)
The next four cards are textless, borderless Neon Ink foils of the main heroes in battle poses: Toph, the First Metalbender, Fire Lord Zuko, Aang, Swift Savior and Katara, the Fearless. They come only from the foil Booster Fun slot of Collector Boosters, in less than 1% of those slots.
Toph is the clear leader at about $1,200, which says a lot about how much Avatar fans love her. Zuko is the one to watch: his last five sales came in around $700, but his market price has slipped to about $537, the lowest of the four right now. If you want one of the four as a display piece, Katara has been the most consistent at around $560 to $580.
Under $100: the playable cards
Below the five chase cards, prices drop fast. Most of what’s left is either a fan favorite or a strong Commander card:
- The Eternal-legal reprints: Avatar came with a second, Eternal-legal card list (set code TLE) that’s legal in Commander, Legacy and Vintage. That’s where the staples are: showcase versions of Deflecting Swat (about $90), Fierce Guardianship (about $74) and Enlightened Tutor (about $41).
- Source material cards: 61 of the set’s cards use real frames from the show, one for each episode of the original series. The most valuable are The Banyan Tree (a version of The Great Henge, about $63), Force of Negation (about $43) and Aang’s Shelter (a version of Teferi’s Protection, about $37). They’re 1 in 26 Play Boosters, and every Collector Booster has one.
- Fan favorites: the borderless Badgermole Cub (about $55), Wan Shi Tong, Librarian (about $50) and, of course, The Cabbage Merchant (about $33).
Is a Collector Booster box worth it?
| Product | TCGplayer market price |
|---|---|
| Collector Booster Display (12 packs) | $470 |
| Play Booster Display | $127 |
| Jumpstart Booster Display | $92 |
| Bundle | $63 |
Only if you’d enjoy opening it anyway. A $470 Collector Booster box is a lottery ticket for the five chase cards, and the odds are long: under about 12% per box for the raised foil Aang and less than 1% per pack for each Neon Ink slot. Everything else in the set is cheap enough that buying singles costs far less than chasing them in packs. If you want one of the big cards, buy that card.
