Pricey Magic The Gathering Deck

Written by Ralph on 14th September, 2007

Magic: The Gathering (”Magic“, “MTG“, or “Magic Cards“) is a collectible card game and introduced in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast, an American game publisher later purchased by Hasbro. Magic is the first example of the modern collectible card game genre and still thrives today, with an estimated six million players in over seventy countries.

Each game represents a battle between powerful wizards who use the magical spells, items, and fantastic creatures depicted on individual Magic cards to defeat their opponents. Although the original concept of the game drew heavily from the motifs of traditional fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, the gameplay of Magic bears little resemblance to pencil-and-paper adventure games, and has substantially more cards and more complex rules than other card games.

The world-wide popularity of Magic has spawned an organized tournament system and a community of professional Magic players, as well as a secondary market for Magic cards. Magic cards can be valuable due to not only their scarcity, but also their utility in game play and the aesthetic qualities of their artwork.

Cards are not always reprinted, and some cards have a strict “Never Reprint” policy.

Here’s an example of how pricey some of the cards can go.

This vintage deck is one deck, not a entire collection. It’s vintage format, which is the oldest format where you can use any card from any set (unless it’s been banned or had restrictions placed upon it, some cards are just too powerful).

The price? $6,200.00 eighteen hours to go.
