What this deck cost, and what it is worth
The singles in Tyranid Swarm Collector's Edition are worth $557.91 today at TCGplayer market prices.
Wizards of the Coast published no suggested retail price for this deck. It stopped listing MSRPs in February 2019 and did not resume until November 2024, so there is no release price to compare these singles against — for anyone. So this page shows what the deck contains and what those cards are worth, and states no verdict on the purchase.
Card prices as of 2026-10-16.
Where the value sits
The single most valuable card in Tyranid Swarm Collector's Edition is Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph, at $110.56 — 20% of everything the deck is worth. The value is led by that card but not dominated by it.
Alongside it, $35.90 of the total sits in Shadow in the Warp and $35.88 in Biophagus. Those three names are 33% of what Tyranid Swarm Collector's Edition is worth. That leaves the other 97 cards at $375.57 between them.
As of 2026-10-16, by singles value it is the 7th most valuable of the 198 precon decks we price, and the 4th most valuable of the 8 decks in Warhammer 40,000 Commander.
