A return to the plane of Innistrad in Magic: The Gathering has ushered in several Midnight Hunt cards worth money.
Released digitally on Sept. 16 and globally on Sept. 24, Innistrad: Midnight Hunt (MID) highlights werewolves and humans fighting back against creatures of the night. The set contained three planeswalkers, along with a number of Mythic Rare and Rare creatures/spells with monetary potential.
Following the global release of Kamigawa: Neon Nights and the NEO Championship, The Meathook Massacre shot in value while other MID non-foil and Showcase foil cards maintained value at $20 and higher.
From werewolf synergy to demons and dragons, here are the MID cards worth the most money, cards worth watching, and the biggest losers from the MTG set, according to data from MTGGoldfish.
The Meathook Massacre
The Meathook Massacre is a Black Mythic Rare Legendary Enchantment packed with loss and gain life shenanigans due to its -X/-X ability based on “X” mana spent to cast the Sorcery speed spell. With so many Aggro builds dominating the Standard meta, in conjunction with how good the Legendary Enchantment is within multiple Magic formats as a board wipe, The Meathook Massacre went from $17 to $22 following the 2021 MTG World Championship.

Following the WotC Premier Play system announcement, the legendary Enchantment spiked to around $70. The extended art foil version is worth around $145, the foil is valued at around $100, and the non-foil extended art version is worth around $79.
Wrenn and Seven
Wrenn and Seven was ranked No. 1 in terms of MID cards worth money due to having five loyalty abilities and being a card that will likely see play in multiple MTG formats. The Legendary planeswalker still has a presence within the meta due to its plus-one ability that digs four deep for lands that can get put onto the battlefield tapped with the zero loyalty counter. The minus-three creates a powerful token creature with Reach.
Wrenn and Seven was valued at around $24 prior to the launch of VOW but dropped slightly at the start of 2022 to around $20. The planeswalker continued to drop slightly after the launch of NEO to around $15. The borderless foil version of Wrenn and Seven is worth around $26.

Lier, Disciple of the Drowned is a unique Mythic Rare five-drop that provides each Instant and Sorcery card in your graveyard Flashback. The legendary human wizard was valued between $7 and $8 following the global release of MID. The launch of VOW saw the human wizard rise in price to around $9. And with the release of NEO, Lier, Disciple of the Drowned is priced at around $10.

Dual lands like Shipwreck Marsh have risen in price since the release of MID. The non-foil version of the Blue and Black land is priced at around $8.50 following the launch of NEO. A borderless foil version of Shipwreck Marsh is valued at around $17.
Arlinn, the Pack’s Hope
Arlinn, the Pack’s Hope is a great Mythic Rare in Limited and Standard, synergizing with the RG werewolf archetype. She has seen gameplay in the Commander format as an alternate commander in conjunction with Tovolar, Dire Overlord.

After the launch of NEO, Arlinn the Pack’s Hope was valued at around $8. Her Showcase foil version is worth around $47, though. And the borderless foil version of Arilnn, the Pack’s Hope is priced at around $17.
Intrepid Adversary
Intrepid Adversary fell off the value train shortly after the release of MID. But via the revival of Mono-White Aggro within the Standard meta, the human scout climbed out of the depths of penny range to a value of around $9. Following the release of NEO, Intrepid Adversary has fallen to around $5. The extended art foil version of the human scout is valued at around $17.
