Overview

Gatecrash is a Magic: The Gathering expansion set in the Return to Ravnica block, released February 1, 2013 with 249 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Gatecrash card with Tappr to pull up its live market price in seconds.

Best for

  • Modern/Pioneer players and set completionists
  • people completing or pricing Gatecrash (249 cards, code gtc)
  • singles buyers focused on Gatecrash / Crypt Ghast

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 Gatecrash, the usual miss is ignoring foil vs nonfoil and special frames inside the same set code. Money still clusters around Gatecrash / Crypt Ghast; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Gatecrash (2013, Modern-era paper) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code gtc before the art.

What to check first

First: foil treatment and collector number. On Gatecrash / Crypt Ghast, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Gatecrash checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
