The List Magic: the Gathering cards

The List is a rotating collection of cards from throughout the history of Magic: the Gathering. These cards are specifically curated to appear in the final slot of certain booster products, offering players a chance to obtain reprints of iconic, powerful, or simply interesting cards from previous sets. Every card from The List maintains its original expansion symbol but features a small Planeswalker icon in the bottom-left corner to denote its status as part of this special series. Since its inception, The List has grown to include thousands of unique entries, ranging from staples for Commander to high-value collectibles for various formats.

Product types in this collection

The primary focus of this category is Singles. Because these cards are distributed randomly within boosters, they are most efficiently acquired through a marketplace where individual copies are available. You can find everything from common utility spells to powerful Rare and Mythic cards. While The List itself is composed of single cards, players often browse this category alongside other Magic: the Gathering expansions to find specific versions of cards that might be more affordable or feature classic artwork compared to their original printings. The availability of these cards through global sellers makes it possible to find specific languages and conditions that suit every type of player.

How to choose the right cards from The List

When browsing The List, it is essential to consider the format you play. Many of these cards are legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander, but their presence on The List does not change their legality in Standard or Modern. If you are a Commander player, look for high-impact reprints that can bolster your deck power level without the premium price of original printings. Collectors should pay close attention to the card condition and language, as CardTrader hosts sellers from all over the world, allowing you to find versions in various languages that might be rarer in your local market. Use the filters to sort by rarity or price to find the best deals, and remember to utilize CardTrader Zero to consolidate shipments from multiple vendors into a single delivery, significantly reducing your overall logistics costs and simplifying the purchasing process for large orders.
