The Cheapest Way to Buy Magic Singles in 2026

If you want specific cards — for a Commander deck, a Modern list, a binder — buying singles is almost always cheaper than cracking packs. A booster box is a lottery ticket; a singles order is a shopping list.

The hidden cost: shipping

The sticker price isn't the real price. A card that's 50c cheaper at Store A can cost more once you add a separate shipping charge. That's why every comparison here ranks listings by total delivered cost — item plus shipping — not just the headline number.

Buy in one basket

Combining cards into one order from the cheapest store that stocks most of your list usually beats chasing the absolute floor on each card across five stores (and paying five shipping fees). Use the compare pages to find which single store covers the most of your wants.

Don't forget eBay

For out-of-print and Reserved-List cards, eBay is often the deepest market. Every eBay link here is price-checked against local stores so you can see at a glance whether the auction site or a shop is cheaper today.
