Wade into Battle (Commander 2015): decklist, contents and value
A 100-card Commander precon from Commander 2015, led by Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas and released November 2015. Everything the box shipped, and what it is worth today.
Was Wade into Battle worth buying?
Yes, clearly — the singles are worth several times what the deck cost at release.
Wade into Battle cost $34.99 at release. Its singles are worth at least $108.81 today — at least 3.11× what you paid, over the 10 years since it was released.
1 of this deck’s 100 cards has no market price yet and counts as nothing in that total. It is a floor, not a valuation — the real figure is higher. So the total and the multiple are floors rather than exact figures.
That is a return over time, not a judgment about the day it launched: the release price in that sentence is from release day and the singles value 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 2026-10-17. Release price: Wizards of the Coast, verified 2026-09-02.
Where the value sits
The single most valuable card in Wade into Battle is Urza's Incubator, at $21.47 — 20% of everything the deck is worth. The value is led by that card but not dominated by it.
Alongside it, $18.06 of the total sits in Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas and $8.31 in Blade of Selves. Those three names are 44% of what Wade into Battle is worth. That leaves the other 96 priced cards at $60.97 between them.
As of 2026-10-17, by singles value it is the 88th most valuable of the 198 precon decks we price, and the most valuable of the 5 decks in Commander 2015.
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.

The Commander Anthology Volume II reprint
Commander Anthology Volume II reprinted Wade into Battle (Commander 2015) card for card in June 2018, as one of the 4 decks in a $164.99 box. This page is the original November 2015 release.
That reprint cost $41.25 a deck (the box price divided by 4) against $34.99 for this original at release: $6.26 more for the reprint.
As of 2026-10-17, this original’s singles are worth at least $108.81 against at least $99.34 for the reprint. Both totals are floors, so this page does not say which is worth more.
Measured against what each cost at release, this original has returned at least 3.11× its price and the reprint at least 2.41×, and the missing prices could still change which is ahead.
