I would happily accept a spreadsheet file, database file, or even a text file. I know that the Gathering site is useful, but it limits the number of cards I can return in a search. Other rares go either in a trade binder or in a long box for trading. I am going to write a program to manage my library of Magic cards and I am looking for a database file or list of all of the cards that have been released. I typically only keep a play set of each card, unless it is a card I think I will use a lot, like some rare lands, or something that I want to collect for some reason. Cards only good for type one go in a third binder. That used to be extended, now I guess it is modern. When they rotate out of standard, I move the cards to the binder that covers older sets. I have one binder that is only for tournament playable standard cards. If I still don't have enough to fill the box, I use old starter boxes to fill the empty space.
If I don't have enough cards from a set to fill a box, I usually put a whole block in one box. Mainly, the names on the ends of the boxes are enough for me to find what I need. I don't really sort them in the stack in any way in particular, but sometimes put a little order in the stacks. This allows me to stack them in a closet or on a shelf with only the short side facing out and still read what set they contain. I label the boxes on all sides but the bottom. I find that more organization than that takes a ton of time to accomplish but achieves very little in terms of time saved when I need to get cards out to use. If it is two boxes, then one is for uncommons and one for commons, otherwise it is uncommons in the front and commons in the back.Ĭards are only sorted by color. If I have a huge number of the set, then I have two long boxes for the set. Each set is ordered chronologically, and the cards are ordered by collector's number. Can you tell which set I have been drafting a lot lately? )įor the sake of discussion: how do you sort your cards? Mine are in a multi-row box, now with these suckers dividing them up. Choose your product line and set, and find exactly what you're looking for. Here's a photo of my newly organized box! I don't have a ton of cards, but they're all scattered about in different sets. The TCGplayer Price Guide tool shows you the value of a card based on the most reliable pricing information available. Many of the icons were downloaded from BaconCatBug's thread on MTGSalvation forums, and more still are thanks to /u/Mediocritologist's post here. Excluded are Duel Decks, From the Vault, Premium Deck Series, Deck Builder's Toolkit, and possibly some of the other, more obscure sets. The sets range from Alpha to Journey Into Nyx. Spells and effects that have yet to resolve. It has a lot of odd mechanics and brings back the dice rolling, which is not something many MtG players look forward to due to the RNG element. The new D&D set Adventures in the Forgotten Realms doesnt feel like your typical standard summer set. A style of deck that aims to use instant and sorcery spells to win the game. Historic is a wild format that tends to get powerful cards from the Magic: The Gatherings history that were banned for balance. A starting hand that is basically perfect. I printed them on some sticker paper, cut along the guide lines with an Exacto, and threw them on some plastic dividers. A card that costs all five of MTGs mana colours - such as Tiamat from the recent Adventure in the Forgotten Realms set - is known as a WUBRG. Everything is finished and sorted so I thought maybe someone else could get use out of it.
PRINTABLE LIST OF MTG CARD SETS FULL
See the set identifier on the right for the verion included in The List.I made a label sheet for organizing my cards via plastic dividers: it's two 8.5" x 11" printable pages full of 2" x 1/2" labels for each set name, release date, and symbol. (Note for the list below: The card image that appears may not match the version found on The List. The plan is for The List to change subtly from set to set, bringing in cards that might make sense with the set we're in, but it will mostly stay intact from set to set, meaning you will all get to learn what cards are in The List. The cards can be pulled from anywhere in Magic's 27-year history. They are legal in whatever formats the cards are already legal in. Being on The List does not make cards Standard-legal. The List has commons, uncommons, rares, and mythic rares which will fall at the proper rate to one another. This is The List.įound in Set Boosters, cards from The List will appear in the final slot of the pack about 25% of the time. We've chosen a list of 300 interesting cards from Magic's past. What exactly is The List? Well, one of the coolest parts of Magic is its history, so we're pulling a trick from Time Spiral and Mystery Booster.
