Arcane Wizardry: decklist, contents and value
A 100-card Commander precon from Commander 2017, led by Inalla, Archmage Ritualist and released August 2017. Everything the box shipped, and what it is worth today.
Was Arcane Wizardry worth buying?
Yes, clearly — the singles are worth several times what the deck cost at release.
Arcane Wizardry cost $34.99 at release. Its singles are worth $84.45 today — 2.41× 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 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 Arcane Wizardry is Kindred Dominance, at $12.30 — 15% 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 133rd most valuable of the 177 precon decks we price, and the least valuable of the 4 decks in Commander 2017.
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.
