Overview

Scourge is a Magic: The Gathering expansion set in the Onslaught block, released May 26, 2003 with 143 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Scourge card with Tappr to read a Scryfall market estimate synced about every 24 hours.

Best for

  • collectors who already know edition premiums
  • people completing or pricing Scourge (143 cards, code scg)
  • singles buyers focused on Scourge / Stifle

Skip if

  • you will not check edition/treatment and still want “NM mythic” prices
  • you expect every rare in the set to hold similar resale

Common mistakes

On Scourge, the usual miss is pricing by card name alone without edition (Alpha/Beta/Unlimited/Revised). Money still clusters around Scourge / Stifle; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Scourge (2003, early Magic) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code scg before the art.

What to check first

First: edition line, authenticity, then condition. On Scourge / Stifle, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Scourge checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
