Breed Lethality (Commander 2016): decklist, contents and value
A 100-card Commander precon from Commander 2016, led by Atraxa, Praetors' Voice and released November 2016. Everything the box shipped, and what it is worth today.
Was Breed Lethality worth buying?
Yes, clearly — the singles are worth several times what the deck cost at release.
Breed Lethality cost $34.99 at release. Its singles are worth $139.46 today — 3.99× what you paid, over the 9 years since it was released.
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 2026-10-16. Release price: Wizards of the Coast, verified 2026-09-02.
Where the value sits
The single most valuable card in Breed Lethality is Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, at $35.39 — 25% of everything the deck is worth. The value is led by that card but not dominated by it.
Alongside it, $18.60 of the total sits in Reyhan, Last of the Abzan and $9.27 in Cathars' Crusade. Those three names are 45% of what Breed Lethality is worth. That leaves the other 97 cards at $76.20 between them.
As of 2026-10-16, by singles value it is the 56th most valuable of the 198 precon decks we price, and the 4th most valuable of the 5 decks in Commander 2016.
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.
