ASMR: Opening my first Magic the Gathering cards! / whisper and gum

[@blackla6el]

Awesome to see you getting more into TCGs! FYI Card rarity goes by the color of the set icon black is common, silver is uncommon, gold is rare and the orange/bronze is mythic. with magic you can have some commons worth more than mythics or rares. as new sets come out sometimes older cards have more use with new cards that come out and people need them for the best decks and prices will go up. It is very different than pokemon. full art or showcases can be not worth much but look cool for a deck, most money value is connected with play value and if you get a good playable card full art foil it can be worth some bucks.

So mtg values are pretty much fully about playability. So things that are good in standard have short term value, things that are good in eternal formats could gain or lose large amounts of value over time, based on bannings or new cards making them good. So with a solid understanding of the game you can figure it out but without playing it's hard to figure things out. Theres cards in newer sets in the $100s

[@maldenfoster]

The best way to figure it out is to try to build a winning deck I swear

HUGE MTG community out here, so this is awesome!

For new sets it varies but bloomburrow that you opened has raised foils worth 200 dollars+ for the better ones Most of the time there will be big chase cards and from the standard list set you’ll get cards up to 30 dollars depending on playability and demand

[@chrisestes859]

most of the time single cards value goes down over time as people open more packs but sometimes a card is so good everyone is buying it or a special version is so cool it goes up.

This is a great set to get started on especially if you love animals and the like

[@EliasVt]

collectors boosters are a bit of a scam imo. a set booster box would be nice to see and definitely would have some value

[@EliasVt]

that modern horizons 2 set booster you have is nice, lots of valuable cards in that set. any set that says modern in it will probably have valuable cards because it’s one of the most played and competitive formats
