About Horn of Heaven

Horn of Heaven is a Counter Trap Card, printed as MRD-E130 in Metal Raiders (2002) as an Ultra Rare. Metal Raiders was the second English booster set. It added Summoned Skull, Gate Guardian, Mirror Force and Change of Heart, and many of its cards shaped how the early game was played. Ungraded, this printing ranks 147th of the 508 Metal Raiders cards we track. The top card is Gate Guardian at €301.65.

Character and collecting appeal

In play, it is a card for negating cards and effects and destroying cards.

Version and identification

This guide covers the Unlimited printing, without the "1st Edition" text below the artwork. 1st Edition copies of the same card have their own, usually higher, prices. Check the code printed below the artwork on the right: it should read MRD-E130. The E in MRD-E130 marks the European English printing. The North American printing uses a code without the letter, sometimes with a different card number, and has its own prices. It is the Ultra Rare version. Ultra Rares have a gold-foil name and holographic artwork. Metal Raiders has 3 other printings of Horn of Heaven: MRD-130 (€3.37), MRD-130 1st Edition (€18.08) and MRD-E130 1st Edition (€5.98). Each has its own price, so match the code, edition and rarity exactly.

It is trading at or near its highest recorded value. Of the 4 printings of Horn of Heaven we track, this one ranks 3rd by ungraded value.

Grading and population

A PSA 10 sells for 43.9× the ungraded price and 11.8× a PSA 9. That gap is big enough that grading a sharp, well-centred copy can pay for itself. On cards from the early 2000s, the dark brown backs show every scuff and white edge, so top grades are scarce.

Investment potential

In its favour: it comes from the first years of the English game, which are no longer printed. Treat this as background, not a prediction or financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €4.57 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €16.98. Ask the seller to show the code MRD-E130, the missing "1st Edition" text and the Ultra Rare finish clearly in the photos, as listing titles often mix up printings. Cards from 2002 often show white wear on the back edges and corners, so ask for photos of the back before you buy.
