Magic, from your first game to the Commander table

Singles to finish a deck, sealed product to open, and a table where someone will show you how the stack works. The four guides below are written for people just starting out.

At the counter

Singles, foils and commander staples, from the playable common to the case piece.

We buy, sell and trade singles. Missing one specific card? Tell us before you come in and we will go through the binders for you.

Nothing photographed in the window right now, but stock moves fast. Call or drop in: we bring the binders out on request.

Understanding the game

Four guides, written to be useful

Written for someone who has never played, and read back by someone who has played for twenty years.

Getting started What Magic is, how a game runs, and what to buy first — and more importantly, what not to. Formats Commander, Standard, Modern, Pioneer, Pauper, Limited: which one suits you, and what it really costs. Collecting Protecting, sorting and valuing your cards. What condition actually does to a card's worth. Glossary Tapping, mulligans, the stack, priority. The vocabulary decoded, plus how a table works.

The rest happens in person

The table is open, the binders are on the counter, and nobody will judge you for asking how the stack works. Call ahead if you are after a particular card and we will pull it for you.
