Where to Buy Magic: The Gathering Cards: 6 Markets Compared

The six markets at a glance

“Listings in stock” counts store listings (not TCGplayer) that were read within the last 72 hours and are in stock today. “Cards priced” is how many units have a price in that market, including a TCGplayer reference where no store has the card.

United States: TCGplayer plus the hobby stores

TCGplayer is the largest Magic marketplace in the US and usually has the widest choice, but individual stores regularly undercut its cheapest listing on specific cards, and sell sealed product at or near retail. MTG Compare shows TCGplayer's cheapest listing as one row among the stores, so you can see when a store is cheaper.

Australia, Canada, the UK, the EU and Singapore

Outside the US, the cheapest card is usually at a local store: buying from the US adds international postage, and often import tax, to every order. Prices on MTG Compare stay in each market's own currency (A$, C$, £, € and S$), and TCGplayer's US market price appears only as a reference, marked ≈.

The eurozone is one market: stores across the single market quote euro prices and ship without customs. Singapore has few stores with an online Magic catalogue, so many cards there show only a reference price.

How to get the best price

• Search the card on MTG Compare and pick your market: offers are ranked cheapest first by item price.
• Bundle cards from one store to share the postage: two cheap singles from two stores can cost more than both from one.
• Check the condition: a Lightly Played copy is often cheaper than near mint and fine for play.
• Check the finish. Foil and non-foil are separate prices, and some printings exist only in foil.
