Overview

Tempest is a Magic: The Gathering expansion set in the Tempest block, released October 14, 1997 with 350 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Tempest 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 Tempest (350 cards, code tmp)
singles buyers focused on Tempest / Intuition

Skip if

you will not check edition/treatment and still want “NM mythic” prices
you want a tiny master set — this product is wide; budget special frames separately

Common mistakes

On Tempest, the usual miss is pricing by card name alone without edition (Alpha/Beta/Unlimited/Revised). Money still clusters around Tempest / Intuition; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Tempest (1997, early Magic) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code tmp before the art.

What to check first

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