- Reserved List staples
- Modern Horizons
- Commander (EDH) sets
- Universes Beyond crossovers
What affects Magic card value?
The vast majority of Magic cards are worth cents to a few dollars, but Reserved List cards, old-border rares and foils can reach hundreds or thousands. Condition and printing drive Magic values more than almost any other game.
Always match the exact printing and inspect condition. Market values are estimates, not guaranteed sale prices.

How to scan a Magic card
- Place the card on a plain, well-lit background and reduce glare.

- Verify the set, number and variant before saving it to your collection.
- Review the current raw or graded value and price history.
Frequently asked questions
Can Riply tell which Magic printing I have?
Yes. Because Magic reprints cards constantly, Riply reads the set symbol and collector info to identify the specific printing, so the value reflects your exact version rather than an average.
Does Riply cover foils and old-border Magic cards?
Riply supports foils and vintage printings, which is important because a foil or old-border copy is often worth many times a modern reprint.
Is Riply useful for building or valuing a Commander deck?
You can scan a whole deck or collection into Riply and track its total market value over time, which is handy for pricing an EDH deck or a trade binder.
