Force of Will has 6,451 cards across 100 sets, and nothing tops $115
Force of Will is a big, decade-old TCG — the game built around the Ruler card type — with 6,451 priced singles across 100 sets. And yet it is the flattest card market we’ve measured: nothing in the entire game clears ~$115.
The anti-lottery TCG
Most trading card games are lotteries — a tiny fraction of cards holds almost all the value. Force of Will is the opposite. Its 99th-percentile card is only about 38× the median, making it flatter than Sorcery (124×), the previous flattest game in our cross-game chase-multiple study, and a different universe from Riftbound (3,646×). Even the top rarity tiers stay modest: Uber Rares median $10, and the six “Secret” cards — the rarest in the game — median just $76. Heavy reprinting and a generous rarity spread mean value here never concentrated.

FAQ
What is the most valuable Force of Will card?
A Cheshire Cat, The Pilgrinning in Wonderland (Secret) at around $110 — and that is the ceiling for the entire game. An Uber Rare Larinca (~$105), a Full Art Dark Alice (~$97) and a Full Art Cheshire Cat misprint (~$93) round out the top. For a game with 6,451 priced cards across 100 sets, a ~$110 ceiling is extraordinarily low.
Why are Force of Will cards so cheap?
Because the market is flat by nature: heavy reprinting, generous rarity distribution and a smaller collector base mean value never concentrated the way it does in newer lottery-style games. The 99th-percentile card is only about 38× the median — flatter than Sorcery (124×) and a world away from Riftbound (3,646×). 64% of cards trade under $1.
Is Force of Will a good game to collect on a budget?
If you want a large, playable card pool without chase-card sticker shock, yes — almost the entire game is affordable, and even the top rarity tiers (Uber Rare median ~$10, the six Secrets ~$76) stay two-figure. The flip side: there's very little speculative upside, because nothing in the game has ever run away in price.
What are Rulers in Force of Will?
Rulers are Force of Will's signature mechanic — each deck is led by a Ruler card that flips to a more powerful J-Ruler during play, a bit like a commander. They get their own rarity tiers (Ruler Rare, Sub Ruler Rare) in the data, but even those medians stay low ($1.56–$2.99); the Ruler identity drives deckbuilding, not price.
Where does this data come from, and is it reliable?
We took the TCGplayer market price of every priced Force of Will single (sealed product and multi-card lots excluded) across 100 sets via the open tcgcsv.com dataset, then the median and max per rarity tier and the 99th-percentile-vs-median ratio (TCGplayer market price via the open tcgcsv.com dataset, valued 2026-07-05). Reference estimates for raw cards, not sold or graded records; prices move. Reproducible from the open dataset.
