Dark Ascension card list & prices

Dark Ascension (DKA) was released on 3 February 2012. It has 158 printings on TCGplayer: every rarity and every Borderless, Extended Art, Showcase or foil-pattern version counted separately, because each is priced separately, and each has a Normal and a Foil price of its own.

Each card below shows the cheapest in-stock listing we track in the United States, in USD; “≈” marks TCGplayer's market price where no US store has the card. Open a card for every store's price.

MTG Compare lists 158 cards in Dark Ascension (DKA), 24 of which have a live price in the United States right now. The rest are tracked but not currently stocked by any store we monitor; they reappear here priced the moment one lists them.

Prices run from US$0.15 to US$15.90, with a median of US$0.57. The value is heavily concentrated: the most expensive 2 cards account for 58% of what it would cost to buy one of everything here. If you are completing this group, that handful is the whole budget — the rest is close to bulk.

The cards to know: Mikaeus, the Unhallowed at US$15.90, Elbrus, the Binding Blade at US$3.21, Havengul Lich at US$2.00. At the other end, Diregraf Captain is the cheapest way in at US$0.15.

Buying a set card by card and buying sealed are different questions — the Box EV calculator answers the second, and the prices below answer the first. The calculator values each card at TCGplayer's US market price, converted, rather than the cheapest listing shown here, so its per-card figures will differ.
