Overview

Magic 2010 is a Magic: The Gathering core set in the Core Set block, released July 17, 2009 with 249 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Magic 2010 card with Tappr to read a Scryfall market estimate synced about every 24 hours.

Best for

  • Modern/Pioneer players and set completionists
  • people completing or pricing Magic 2010 (249 cards, code m10)
  • singles buyers focused on Sphinx Ambassador / Scryfall

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 Magic 2010, the usual miss is buying sealed EV stories instead of the actual chase list. Money still clusters around Sphinx Ambassador / Scryfall; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Magic 2010 (2009, Modern-era paper) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code m10 before the art.

What to check first

First: whether the card is standard-legal chase or eternal only. On Sphinx Ambassador / Scryfall, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Magic 2010 checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
