If you want the two truly most expensive cards in Magic: The Gathering, they unfortunately have no set price. This is because they are unique, and only one copy of each exist. These cards are:

1996 World Champion

and

Shichifukujin Dragon

both illustrated by Christopher Rush.

"The 1996 World Champion was given to Tom Chanpheng of Australia for winning the 1996 World Championship. The card is encased in lucite, apparently floating above a silver globe. In 2001 it was sold to a private collector. One sheet of this card was printed, but all other copies were destroyed. Rumor has it that artist proofs of this card exist.

The Shichifukujin Dragon was created to celebrate the opening of the Japan DCI Tournament Center in Tokyo, Japan. All copies except for one were destroyed. The remaining Shichifukujin Dragon has been encased at the Tournament Center for public view together with the original artwork of the card. The Tournament Center was closed on February, the 28th in 2003, and the card was moved to the Hobby Japan Head Office where it currently resides. Shichifukujin is the name of the Seven Deities of Good Fortune of Japanese mythology."

The 1996 World Champion Card was sold for approximately $10,000 USD still in the trophy (keep in mind this is not adjusted for inflation, which increases the price even more). Serious Magic collectors nowadays would ostensibly pay far more for either card today, given the thriving popularity of Magic.

Other incredibly rare cards include the cards that Richard Garfield had printed for certain events in his life, namely his proposal to his wife and the birth of his two children. Information for these cards can be found here: see link

The most expensive non-error card is considered to be a signed, mint-condition Alpha Black Lotus, and can possibly be worth over $15,000.

The most expensive error card is indeed the Summer Magic Blue Hurricane, also valued highly.
