The Theorist, Jace Beleren
Jace checks pretty much every box for MTG Reality Fracture chase cards.
The Theorist, Jace Beleren is one of the better regular pulls, has several premium versions, and sits right at the center of the set’s story.
It is also strong in multiplayer, drawing you a card during each opponent’s draw step.
If we’re cracking Play Boosters, this is absolutely one we’d be happy to see.
Hexhaven Invigorator
Hexhaven Invigorator is already a great pull before you even get into the premium versions.
The regular mythic is around $40, and its ability can turn damage into a pile of extra lands, which gives it obvious Commander appeal.
Then there’s the Facet Foil Shattered Mirror version. Those are Collector Booster exclusives, with Wizards estimating about 3,000 copies of each mythic.
So Hexhaven Invigorator works as a chase card both ways: the regular version is valuable, and the premium version is legitimately scarce.
Emrakul, the Exigent Doom
Emrakul, the Exigent Doom is already one of Reality Fracture’s better regular pulls, sitting around the low-$40 range, with several premium versions for collectors to chase.
It also helps that Emrakul is one of Magic’s most recognizable threats, and the card itself is a massive 12/12 Eldrazi with flying and trample.
Serialized Bloodline Recollector
Bloodline Recollector is a chase for one very simple reason: the serialized version is ridiculously scarce.
Reality Fracture’s Headliner has just 500 serialized double rainbow foil copies, all found exclusively in Collector Boosters.
That makes it the set’s lottery-ticket pull. The regular card might not compete with Jace or Emrakul on price, but pulling one of those /500 copies is a completely different story.
Darklight Phoenix
Darklight Phoenix is a nice chase because even the regular version is worth pulling.
The mythic is around $27, with Shattered Mirror, Facet Foil, foil, and Secret Lair versions giving collectors more to chase.
It also has real gameplay appeal thanks to flying, haste, and the ability to come back from the graveyard.
Even without the premium treatment, this is a solid hit.
Kwia Vigorbloom
Kwia Vigorbloom has a nice mix of Commander appeal and collector value.
The regular version is in the high teens, while the Japan Showcase and Fracture Foil versions give collectors something bigger to chase.
It’s also a strong Commander card, with flying, vigilance, lifelink, ward 2, and the ability to make Lotus tokens when you gain life.
That is a pretty easy card to see people wanting in both decks and binders.
Samut, Tyrant of Naktamun
Samut, Tyrant of Naktamun is a chase because people actually want to play it.
The regular version is around $19, while the Echoed Pair versions carry a bigger premium.
Giving your instants and sorceries split second is the kind of ability Commander players notice fast.
Samut is not here because it is ultra-rare. It is here because the demand is real.
Omnipresence
Omnipresence is a good example of why this isn’t just a list of the most expensive cards.
The regular version is only around $9, but the real chase is the Facet Foil Shattered Mirror version, which is much scarcer and exclusive to Collector Boosters.
It also has obvious Commander appeal, letting you cast certain spells from your hand without paying their mana costs.
The base card might not be a huge hit, but the premium version definitely is.
What Are the Biggest Collector Booster Chases?
If you’re chasing the biggest Reality Fracture hits, Collector Boosters are where things get serious.
They can contain Facet Foil Shattered Mirror cards, Japan Showcase Fracture Foils, foil Special Guests, and the serialized Bloodline Recollector.
The Headliner is limited to just 500 serialized copies, while Wizards estimates about 6,000 Facet Foil rares and 3,000 Facet Foil mythics each.
Those are the pulls that make Collector Boosters the real high-end chase.
