Can you still play with old Magic cards?

Rather than fading into obscurity, the original collectible card game is still going strong.

How do I know if my Magic: The Gathering cards are valuable?

To tell if a card is rare or mythic rare we look at the expansion set symbol. Almost all cards will have an expansion set symbol on it to help you identify it. The colour of this symbol will tell you what rarity the card is; common = black, uncommon = silver, rare = gold, mythic = orange-red / bronze.
