10. Stingcaster Mage (Borderless) (Facet Foil) - $298.66
Snapcaster Mage has been a blue staple since Innistrad. This is the red version, and it swaps flash for haste. Any instant or sorcery in your graveyard gets flashback until end of turn, so it's one for spells decks that want a big turn.
9. Enlightened Confidant (Borderless) (Facet Foil) - $307.16
Two mana for a lifelinker that gives you card selection whenever you gain life. Gain three, and at the end of your turn you can surveil into a card worth three or less. It's a lifegain engine, and lifegain decks tend to sneak up on people.
8. Kwia Vigorbloom (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $336.94
Kwia turns every point of life you gain into a Lotus token that taps for three mana of any one color. If that sounds like Black Lotus, it should. That card has been around since Alpha in 1993. Kwia is a green and white commander too, a 6/6 with flying, vigilance, and lifelink. The Showcase frame makes it look like stained glass.
7. Emrakul, the Exigent Doom (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $369.95
Emrakul has always been a how-do-you-actually-cast-this card, ever since Rise of the Eldrazi. This one has an answer built in. Exile it from your hand for three mana and a land taps for extra mana until you cast it. Casting it also untaps your lands.
6. Return to the Light Realms (Borderless) (Facet Foil) - $419.68
Nine mana to return every nonland permanent card in your graveyard to the battlefield. It's a white cousin of Rise of the Dark Realms, and Commander is the natural home since nobody else wants to spend nine mana on one spell. White and gold robes sit at the center, with purple shards all around.
5. Craterclaw Colossus (Borderless) (Facet Foil) (0455) - $424.97
Now we're getting into the real chase cards for Reality Fracture. This is the red Echoverse counterpart to Craterhoof Behemoth from Avacyn Restored, except it counts artifacts instead of creatures. Your team gets trample and extra power, and the Colossus is a 5/5 with haste. Artifact decks, take note.
4. The Theorist, Jace Beleren (Showcase) (Fracture Foil) - $471.63
The face of the set, and the end of Jace's three-year story. He draws you an extra card on every opponent's draw step, makes Illusion tokens with the plus, and bounces a creature or artifact with the minus. That's worth a look in blue control and cEDH. The Showcase frame is all anime-style motion lines and pixel patterns.
3. Darklight Phoenix (Borderless) (Facet Foil) (0453) - $494.02
A 3/2 flier with haste that comes back from the graveyard at the start of your combat if two or more creatures died that turn. The Phoenix counts itself, so it only needs one other creature to die. That's an aristocrats card, for decks that want their creatures dying on purpose. The orange wing behind the shards looks great.
2. Hexhaven Invigorator (Borderless) (Facet Foil) - $539.24
Four green mana for a 6/6 with vigilance. Whenever it's dealt damage, you search for that many lands and put them onto the battlefield tapped. The cost is GGGG, so you'll want a lot of green. Mono-green decks and Commander combo builders both have a reason to want it.
1. Omnipresence (Borderless) (Facet Foil) - $698.98
Omnipresence is the undisputed top card in Reality Fracture. Think of it as a green Omniscience, the blue enchantment that lets you cast spells from your hand for free. Here the cap is the number of creatures you control, so a wide board turns your hand into free spells. It costs eight, but a creature deck gets there. I like that the art is just one tiny figure looking up at the shattered sky.
Final Thoughts
This is a chase list for builders more than speculators. Green owns the top two spots, Commander players get Jace, Emrakul, and a Craterhoof echo to build around, and seven of the ten cards wear the Shattered Mirror shards. Prices on a brand new set move fast, so check the market before you buy. Expect this order to shuffle.
