With the recent release of Innistrad: Crimson Vow, we thought it’d be cool to look back at some of the past Innistrad sets to see what’s hot and what’s not price wise. Let’s take trip down memory lane and see what’s the 10 most expensive cards from Avacyn Restored.
10. Descendants’ Path
Number 10 is Descendants’ Path. My guess is that this came up in price a bit to over take some more notable cards like Dead-Eye Navigator because it’s great for Tribal decks, like Werewolves.

Number 9 is Reforge the Soul

6. Tamiyo, the Moon Sage
Number 6 on our list is Tamiyo, the Moon Sage. Once a powerful control planeswalker, Tamiyo is now show up in various super friends and control commander decks. The biggest one that we see this in is Atraxa, Praetor’s Voice, where you can get her loyalty counters up past the ultimate point and can utilize it to the max.
5. Sigarda, Host of Herons
Number 5 on the list is Sigarda, Host of Herons. She’s primarily seeing play as a green white Voltron commander since she has Hexproof and Flying. It also has some upside against various black commander decks or eldrazi with annihilator.
