Overview

Oath of the Gatewatch is a Magic: The Gathering expansion set in the Battle for Zendikar block, released January 22, 2016 with 187 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Oath of the Gatewatch 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 Oath of the Gatewatch (187 cards, code ogw)
  • singles buyers focused on Oath / Gatewatch

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

What to check first

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