Overview

Introductory Two-Player Set is a Magic: The Gathering starter set, released December 31, 1996 with 67 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Introductory Two-Player Set 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 Introductory Two-Player Set (67 cards, code itp)
  • singles buyers focused on Introductory Two-Player Set / Elven Riders

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 Introductory Two-Player Set, the usual miss is pricing by card name alone without edition (Alpha/Beta/Unlimited/Revised). Money still clusters around Introductory Two-Player Set / Elven Riders; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Introductory Two-Player Set (1996, early Magic) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code itp before the art.

What to check first

First: edition line, authenticity, then condition. On Introductory Two-Player Set / Elven Riders, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Introductory Two-Player Set checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
