A Core Set Cube (M10, M11, M12, M13, M14)

Now that the M15 Core Set is getting a new, even if only slightly modified, frame, the M10, M11, M12, M13, M14 Core Sets can be a really fun cube. There aren't any outrageously expensive cards. On paper, these are the most expensive ones (ones $10 or more):

Akroma's Memorial (M13 10.66)
Baneslayer Angel (M10 13.50, M11 13.22)
Leyline of Sanctity (M11 18.61)
Liliana Vess (M10 10.47, M11 10.38)
Master of the Wild Hunt (M10 16.15)
Primeval Titan (M11 17.03, M12 16.97)
Serra Ascendant (M11 11.88)
Sorin Markov (M12 14.62)
Steel Overseer (M11 11.31)
Time Warp (M10 12.25)
Thundermaw Hellkite (M13 12.97)

I am excluding M14 from this listing of most expensive cards because it has yet to rotate, but Mutavault and Scavenging Ooze will most definitely join this list.


End to end, there are 813 unique cards (four have had a rarity change but are otherwise unchanged). These core sets are great for new players, and the booster packs can still be had for no more than $5 each for M10 and M11, and for $3 for M12, M13, and M14.
