Overview

Kaladesh is a Magic: The Gathering expansion set in the Kaladesh block, released September 30, 2016 with 278 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Kaladesh card with Tappr to read a Scryfall market estimate synced about every 24 hours.

Best for

  • players tracking rotating and eternal demand together
  • people completing or pricing Kaladesh (278 cards, code kld)
  • singles buyers focused on Kaladesh / Aetherflux Reservoir

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 Kaladesh, the usual miss is rotating format value without checking current legality. Money still clusters around Kaladesh / Aetherflux Reservoir; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Kaladesh (2016, 2010s Standard sets) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code kld before the art.

What to check first

First: format demand vs pure collectible demand. On Kaladesh / Aetherflux Reservoir, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Kaladesh checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
