MTG Modern Horizons 3 Commander Deck Prices in the UK: Two Decks at £40, Eldrazi Incursion at £84.99

Boostermage Editorial10 min read

Two years after Modern Horizons 3 reached tabletop stores, its four standard Commander decks no longer share anything close to a common UK price. Creative Energy and Graveyard Overdrive both begin at £40.00, while Eldrazi Incursion begins at £84.99. That is a cash difference of £44.99, or 112.5% above the cheapest tracked deck price[3].

The comparison is timely because it shows what happens after a Commander release has moved beyond its launch window. Wizards released Modern Horizons 3 on June 14, 2024, and still lists its Commander products as four ready-to-play, 100-card decks containing 15 new cards each[1][2]. The sealed products are therefore directly comparable in format and basic contents, but their available UK prices have separated sharply.

The current official announcements page does not contain a new Modern Horizons 3 product announcement that changes this buying decision[4]. The useful news today is consequently in the retail data itself: two standard decks remain available at £40, Tricky Terrain occupies the middle of the range, and Eldrazi Incursion has only one in-stock tracked listing despite appearing in 15 retailer rows[3].

The UK Market At A Glance

The four-deck filter returns 4 products with listings, 60 total listings, and 24 retailers represented at 23 Jun 2026, 04:46[3]. At listing level, the sample contains 23 in-stock offers, 0 pre-order offers, and 37 out-of-stock offers[3].

Those status totals are important because historical retailer rows can make a product appear better supplied than it is. Eldrazi Incursion has 15 tracked listings, the same nominal depth as Creative Energy, but only 1 Eldrazi listing is currently in stock. Creative Energy has 10 available listings, Graveyard Overdrive has 8, and Tricky Terrain has 4[3]. For a buyer, current availability is more informative than the raw number of retailer pages.

Two Complete Decks At £40

Creative Energy and Graveyard Overdrive provide the clearest entry point. Both have an in-stock best price of £40.00, and both have several available retailers behind their headline prices[3]. This is not a case in which a sold-out historical offer creates an artificial £40 floor. A buyer can currently compare multiple live listings for each deck.

The two decks also have the same standard product structure as the rest of the range. Wizards' product data specifies a ready-to-play 100-card deck, two traditional foil legendary cards, 98 nonfoil cards, a two-card Collector Booster Sample Pack, a foil-etched display commander, tokens, a deck box, a life wheel, and printed play materials. Each standard deck includes 15 cards introduced with the product[1][2].

That makes £40 a useful choice point rather than proof that either deck is intrinsically better value. Buyers should choose between Creative Energy and Graveyard Overdrive according to the deck they intend to play. Their current prices and package sizes are equal, so selecting the unwanted strategy merely to secure the cheapest row is unlikely to save money if the deck is later replaced.

Listing depth gives buyers some room to compare delivered totals. Creative Energy appears across 16 retailer rows, while Graveyard Overdrive appears across 18[3]. The internal product pages should be checked at purchase time because delivery charges and stock changes can alter which £40-class offer produces the lowest completed order.

Tricky Terrain Is The Middle Option

Tricky Terrain begins at £57.95, placing it £17.95 above Creative Energy and Graveyard Overdrive but still well below Eldrazi Incursion[3]. Its position is less extreme: a buyer pays a visible premium over the two cheapest decks without crossing into Eldrazi Incursion's £80-plus territory.

The row has 11 tracked listings, of which 4 are currently in stock[3]. That is enough availability to compare several live offers, although its market is thinner than the available supply for Creative Energy. A buyer who specifically wants Tricky Terrain is therefore dealing with an ordinary product-choice premium, not the one-listing constraint visible for Eldrazi Incursion.

What £84.99 Does And Does Not Prove

Eldrazi Incursion's best available price is £84.99, but the availability behind that number is unusually narrow. Fourteen of its 15 tracked retailer rows are out of stock, leaving one in-stock offer in the current snapshot[3]. The £84.99 figure is therefore the cheapest available tracked listing, not a broad consensus formed by several competing shops.

The data proves that buying Eldrazi Incursion today costs at least £44.99 more than the cheapest available standard deck in the tracked market[3]. It does not prove why that difference exists. The snapshot contains advertised prices and availability, but not retailer inventory quantities, completed sales, reprint plans, or customer demand. Describing the premium as the result of popularity or scarcity would go beyond the available evidence.

The practical conclusion is narrower. A buyer must value Eldrazi Incursion itself enough to pay more than twice the £40 entry price, because substituting Creative Energy or Graveyard Overdrive means buying a different deck. The relevant comparison is not whether £84.99 is high in isolation. It is whether this specific deck is worth an additional £44.99 to the person who intends to play or keep it sealed.

Waiting is reasonable when Eldrazi Incursion is wanted but not needed immediately. One available listing gives little scope for price competition, and the current data cannot establish whether another retailer will restock or at what price. Waiting carries no guaranteed saving, but it avoids treating a one-retailer price as a stable market level.

The Buying Decision Today

Buy Creative Energy or Graveyard Overdrive at around £40 when one of those is the deck you actually want. Both headline prices are attached to live stock, and each product has enough available listings to support comparison shopping[3]. They are the most straightforward purchases in the range.

Buy Tricky Terrain when its strategy justifies a roughly £17.95 premium over the two cheapest decks. Its current price is neither a clearance-level outlier nor an Eldrazi-sized premium, and several tracked retailers still show stock[3].

Treat Eldrazi Incursion as a specific-deck purchase rather than a general Modern Horizons 3 Commander purchase. At £84.99, it costs 112.5% more than the £40 alternatives and has only one in-stock tracked listing[3]. Buyers without a firm preference can obtain the same standard sealed-product format for substantially less; buyers committed to Eldrazi Incursion should verify the live internal product page before ordering.

The present ranking is a snapshot, not a forecast. Creative Energy and Graveyard Overdrive are the £40 options, Tricky Terrain is the mid-priced deck, and Eldrazi Incursion is the expensive outlier because that is what current available UK listings show[3]. Future stock can change those prices. Today's defensible decision is to use availability and delivered cost, rather than old sold-out offers, when choosing between them.
