What this deck cost, and what it is worth
The singles in Tyranid Swarm are worth $175.12 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.
Card prices as of 2026-10-27.
Where the value sits
Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph
Shadow in the Warp
Biophagus
The single most valuable card in Tyranid Swarm is Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph, at $27.27 (16% of everything the deck is worth). The value is led by that card but not dominated by it.
Alongside it, $15.27 of the total sits in Shadow in the Warp and $13.63 in Biophagus. Those three names are 32% of what Tyranid Swarm is worth. That leaves the other 97 cards at $118.95 between them.
As of 2026-10-27, by singles value it is the 30th most valuable of the 199 precon decks we price, and the least valuable of the 8 decks in Warhammer 40,000 Commander.

As of 2026-10-27, the Collector’s Edition’s singles are worth $558.18, 3.19× this deck’s $175.12. If you want the list to play rather than the foils, this version is the same 100 cards at 31% of the foil copy’s singles value.
