Magic The Gathering Card and Price Scraper

This Magic The Gathering scraper searches every card ever printed and returns clean rows with prices, rules text, legality in every format, images and store links. Filter by name, set, color, type, rarity, format or price, or paste a list of card names and get the price of each one. You can also list all sets and read the official rulings of any card.

Each card row includes non-foil, foil and etched prices in US dollars, euro prices and MTGO tickets, the EDHREC popularity rank, the list of formats where the card is legal or banned, the printing details and links to the store pages. For double-faced cards the text and mana cost of both faces are joined in one row.

Players, collectors, store owners, deck builders and price trackers use it to value collections, build budget decks and watch the market.

Tips for better results

• To value a collection, use Look up a card list and add the set code after a pipe, for example Counterspell|mh2, to price an exact printing.
• A card name alone returns one default printing, which can be a new set without a price yet. Turn on All printings to see every printing with its price.
• Prices are in US dollars for non-foil cards. Foil and etched prices are separate fields. Some printings have no price.
• Use the search text for anything the filters do not cover, for example o:"enters tapped" or pow>=5.
• Sort by EDHREC rank to find the most played cards in Commander.
