Plunder the Graves (Commander Anthology): decklist, contents and value
A 100-card Commander precon from Commander Anthology, led by Meren of Clan Nel Toth and released June 2017. Everything the box shipped, and what it is worth today.
Was Plunder the Graves worth buying?
Yes, clearly — the singles are worth several times what the deck cost at release.
Plunder the Graves cost $41.25 at release. Its singles are worth $111.32 today — 2.70× what you paid, over the 9 years since it was released. (Plunder the Graves shipped in a box of 4 decks at $164.99; $41.25 is that box price divided by 4, which Wizards of the Coast never published as a per-deck figure.)
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 Plunder the Graves is Pathbreaker Ibex, at $18.87 — 17% of everything the deck is worth. The value is led by that card but not dominated by it.
Alongside it, $10.98 of the total sits in Eldrazi Monument and $10.40 in Thief of Blood. Those three names are 36% of what Plunder the Graves is worth. That leaves the other 97 cards at $71.07 between them.
As of 2026-10-16, by singles value it is the 85th most valuable of the 198 precon decks we price, and the 3rd most valuable of the 4 decks in Commander Anthology.
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.
Buying it sealed instead? This deck was only ever sold inside Commander Anthology — that is a live market price, not the release price above. Affiliate link — we may earn a commission on purchases.

This reprint against the original
Plunder the Graves (Commander Anthology) reprints Plunder the Graves (Commander 2015) card for card. The original shipped as part of Commander 2015 in November 2015, and this reprint in June 2017, as one of the 4 decks in a $164.99 box.
Bought at release, it cost $41.25 a deck (the box price divided by 4) against $34.99 for the original: $6.26 more.
As of 2026-10-16, this reprint’s singles are worth $111.32 against $98.48 for the original: this reprint is worth $12.84 more. The cards are the same, so that difference is what the market pays for one release’s printings over the other’s.
Measured against what each cost at release, this reprint has returned less: 2.70× its price against 2.81× for the original, which is 1 year older and has had longer for its cards to move.
