Overview

Shadowmoor is a Magic: The Gathering expansion set in the Shadowmoor block, released May 2, 2008 with 302 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Shadowmoor card with Tappr to pull up its live market price in seconds.

Best for

  • Modern/Pioneer players and set completionists
  • people completing or pricing Shadowmoor (302 cards, code shm)
  • singles buyers focused on Shadowmoor / Painter's Servant

Skip if

  • you will not check edition/treatment and still want “NM mythic” prices
  • you want a tiny master set — this product is wide; budget special frames separately

Common mistakes

On Shadowmoor, the usual miss is buying sealed EV stories instead of the actual chase list. Money still clusters around Shadowmoor / Painter's Servant; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Shadowmoor (2008, Modern-era paper) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code shm before the art.

What to check first

First: whether the card is standard-legal chase or eternal only. On Shadowmoor / Painter's Servant, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Shadowmoor checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
