Was Sworn To Darkness worth buying?
Yes, clearly — the singles are worth several times what the deck cost at release.

That is a return over time, not a judgment about the day it launched: the price on the left is from release day and the one on the right is from today. An older deck has had longer for its cards to move, which is why age is quoted alongside the multiple.
Card prices as of 2026-09-02. Release price: Wizards of the Coast, verified 2026-09-02.
Where the value sits
The single most valuable card in Sworn To Darkness is Crypt Ghast, at $12.87 — 13% of everything the deck is worth. No single card carries this deck — its value is spread across the list.
By singles value it is the 98th most valuable of the 177 precon decks we price, and the 4th most valuable of the 5 decks in Commander 2014.
This deck has been out of print for years, so shops no longer sell it at its release price. Whatever a sealed copy costs today has moved away from that figure — in one direction or the other — and the comparison above is about what the deck cost when it was on shelves, not what it costs now.
