Overview

Nemesis is a Magic: The Gathering expansion set in the Masques block, released February 14, 2000 with 143 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Nemesis 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 Nemesis (143 cards, code nem)
  • singles buyers focused on Nemesis / Parallax Wave

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 Nemesis, the usual miss is pricing by card name alone without edition (Alpha/Beta/Unlimited/Revised). Money still clusters around Nemesis / Parallax Wave; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Nemesis (2000, early Magic) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code nem before the art.

What to check first

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