What this deck cost, and what it is worth
The singles in The Hosts of Mordor are worth $117.69 today at TCGplayer market prices.
Wizards of the Coast published no suggested retail price for this deck. It stopped listing MSRPs in February 2019 and did not resume until November 2024, so there is no release price to compare these singles against — for anyone. So this page shows what the deck contains and what those cards are worth, and states no verdict on the purchase.
Card prices as of 2026-09-02.
Where the value sits
The single most valuable card in The Hosts of Mordor is Cavern-Hoard Dragon, at $18.99 — 16% of everything the deck is worth. The value is led by that card but not dominated by it.
By singles value it is the 70th most valuable of the 177 precon decks we price, and the most valuable of the 4 decks in Tales of Middle-earth Commander.
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.
