Yes, the initial upfront cost may appear steep for those new to Trading card games as a hobby. However, due to the resale value of Magic cards, players always have the option to sell their collection and recoup much of the cost later on while still holding onto the years of fun the hobby brought them.
Where Magic The Gathering truly starts to get expensive is when we dive into the world of standard. As a general rule, Magic The Gathering is considered expensive due to card scarcity and standard rotation. Card scarcity causes older cards to increase in price due to the high demand, whereas standard rotation requires players to buy new decks every year to play competitively. Standard rotation is when old sets stop being tournament legal due to certain new sets coming out.
With Wizards of the Coast publishers of Magic The Gathering releasing new sets regularly, it can be a little tricky to keep up with which new sets cause cards to become no longer legal in competitive tournaments. But just know, currently, standard rotation happens once a year. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time over the years with Magic The Gathering.
Hi, I'm Nick, a professional writer living in Japan, and have been a part of the Trading Card Game community for over 20 years. I share tips, answer questions, and anything else I can do to help more people enjoy this wonderful cardboard hobby. Unless the Reserved List is scrapped, high-value cards already on the list will continue to rise.
This makes the game overall more expensive and inaccessible, as market prices rise as a whole. On the flip side, any reprint of a valuable card can cause the price to crash.
We genuinely love the game and hope it can one day be as accessible as games like Uno, Solitaire or Poker. If you are on a budget and want to get into MTG, check out these 5 cheap ways to get started. After playing from Tempest to Urza's Saga block, Ted took a 20 year break from the game before returning to the classic Plane of Dominaria in His favourite formats are Commander, Draft, and, grudgingly, Standard.

Wait, no. Underground Sea is the only other dual land on this list. It taps for either Blue or Black mana with no downside whatsoever. We think you can agree that with this and Volcanic Island on the list, it must mean the combination of Red, Blue and Black must be the best one in Magic - and that means Nicol Bolas is probably right.
Yes, this is also on the Reserved List. For only two mana, Copy Artifact is an enchantment that lets you copy an artifact. The pricing of this one might be the most interesting on the list, with it generally being very steady up until its peak in and then fluctuating wildly ever since. In a shocking departure from the norm, this card is also on the Reserved List.
Timetwister costs three mana and lets you shuffle your hand, graveyard and library together and then draw seven cards. The Mox cycle of cards are a marginally less broken version of a Black Lotus. Each one gives you one mana for no mana but, unlike Black Lotus, can be used multiple times. Mox Ruby gives you Red mana, and has been used in a plethora of decks since they were released. This is a fun one; Mind Twist is a card that can be used to make your opponent discard their hand.
That, as it turns out, pretty much wins you the game… most of the time. We come to the first of the dual lands on our list.
The dual land cycle includes ten lands, each of which represents a different colour pairing.
