Our MTG price checker shows market prices for every condition, so you can see exactly what a card is worth whether it's Near Mint, Lightly Played, or in worse condition. For high-value cards, we also track PSA, BGS, and CGC graded values across all grades.

Whether you're pricing out a Commander deck, checking the value of your collection, evaluating a trade, or tracking price spikes from recent tournament results, you'll find accurate, up-to-date pricing data here.

What Affects MTG Card Prices

Magic: The Gathering card prices are driven by several factors unique to the game:

Format legality. Cards legal in Standard, Modern, Pioneer, and Legacy each have different demand curves. A Modern staple can command a very different price than a card only played in Commander.

Reprint risk. Unlike some TCGs, Magic regularly reprints cards, which can reduce prices. Reserved List cards — which Wizards of the Coast has promised never to reprint — tend to hold or increase in value over time.

Supply and set type. Limited print runs, special editions (Collector Boosters, Secret Lairs), and older out-of-print sets create scarcity that drives prices up.

Commander demand. The Commander format is the most popular way to play Magic, and high-demand Commander staples hold significant value even if they see no play in competitive 60-card formats.

Condition and grading. For vintage cards (Alpha, Beta, Unlimited, Revised), condition dramatically affects price. A BGS 9.5 Black Lotus is worth significantly more than a Lightly Played copy.
