Vampiric Bloodlust: decklist, contents and value

A 100-card Commander precon from Commander 2017, led by Edgar Markov and released August 2017. Everything the box shipped, and what it is worth today.

Was Vampiric Bloodlust worth buying?

Yes, clearly — the singles are worth several times what the deck cost at release.

Vampiric Bloodlust cost $34.99 at release. Its singles are worth $218.03 today — 6.23× 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 Vampiric Bloodlust is Teferi's Protection, at $46.1621% of everything the deck is worth. The value is led by that card but not dominated by it.

By singles value it is the 17th most valuable of the 177 precon decks we price, and the most 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.
