Getting Back into MTG

[David B]

Anyone know where to find information on the current range of MTG cards. Which editions and expansions are current. The Wizards site sucks at providing info

[Stephen Mawson]

I would actually suggest the wizards site, actually it's generally pretty good as long as you know where to look.

Try the following link www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/Article.aspx?x=mtg/tcg/products/allproducts

This will take you to a page showing all the sets on wizards site, which handily shows you which sets go into which formats. The links against each set should take to you a page which should let you see a card image gallery of all the cards in each set.

I'm assuming you're mostly interested in working out what's in the Standard format, which is the most recent couple of sets.

Currently this consists of:

Scars Block (Scars of Mirrodin, Mirrodin Besieged, New Phyrexia) - This will rotate out of Standard in September.
Magic 2012 Core Set - This will rotate out of Standard in September
Innistrad Block (Innistrad, Dark Ascension, Avacyn Restored)

Plus in about a fortnight we've got the new Core set being released.
Magic 2013.

Ah, the Google link to Wizards I got linked to the PC game, and there were no links to the main site

Thanks, can now look into it

[Stephen Mawson]

Yes I've noticed that too. I'm not sure if something there is broken.

I would also recommend gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Default.aspx
This is a searchable database of every card ever printed. You can search by pretty much any parameter such as mana cost, colour, card type, power, toughness, expansion set, format, etc.

Or the other approach is to buy every card ever printed ;D:o ;D
