What this deck cost, and what it is worth
The singles in The Ruinous Powers are worth $178.06 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 nobody has a release price to compare these singles against. So this page shows what the deck contains and what those cards are worth, and states no verdict on the purchase.
