What does Magic: The Gathering Card Insurance Cover?

Magic: The Gathering cards are one of the most celebrated and valuable collectables in the world of trading card games. Since its creation in 1993, _Magic: The Gathering_ has captivated millions of fans with its strategic gameplay, intricate lore, and stunning artwork. The game has evolved to include countless expansions, but certain cards—whether due to their power in gameplay, rarity, or historical significance—have become holy grails for collectors. Whether you are an avid player or a passionate collector, owning a piece of _Magic: The Gathering_ history is a highly sought-after achievement.

Key cards sought after by collectors:
Black Lotus (Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited Editions)
Widely regarded as the most iconic and valuable _Magic: The Gathering_ card, _Black Lotus_ is a must-have for serious collectors. This powerful artifact allows players to tap it for three mana of any one colour, a game-changing ability that made it a staple in many early tournament decks. Due to its incredible power and rarity, _Black Lotus_ has become the ultimate grail in the _MTG_ community. The Alpha edition, in particular, is considered one of the most coveted, with only 1,100 copies ever printed.

Ancestral Recall:
Part of the “Power Nine” along with _Black Lotus_, _Ancestral Recall_ is another high-value card. It allows players to draw three cards for a mere one blue mana, an advantage that’s hard to beat. Its rarity, along with its power in competitive play, makes it a prized card for collectors and players alike.

Mox Pearl, Mox Sapphire, Mox Jet, Mox Ruby, and Mox Emerald (The Power Nine):
These five cards, known as the “Moxen,” are part of the revered Power Nine set alongside _Black Lotus_ and _Ancestral Recall_. These powerful artifact cards allow players to generate one mana of a specific colour with no downside, giving them immense value in both gameplay and the market. Each of these Mox cards is a collectible treasure for any serious _MTG_ fan.

Shahrazad:
This unique card has a special place in _Magic: The Gathering_ history. It was printed in the Arabian Nights expansion and allows players to create a subgame within the game itself. The rarity and quirks of _Shahrazad_ make it a highly desirable card for collectors, especially for those interested in the game’s early days.

Jace, the Mind Sculptor (Ultimate Edition):
Regarded as one of the most powerful planeswalkers in _Magic: The Gathering_ history, _Jace, the Mind Sculptor_ from the _Worldwake_ set is a highly sought-after card. Its impact on competitive play and the fact that it’s part of the elite group of planeswalkers gives it high value, particularly in its foil and Ultimate Edition versions.

Alpha/Beta/Unlimited Dual Lands:
The original dual lands from the Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited sets are among the most highly coveted lands in the game. Their ability to tap for two different types of mana makes them incredibly valuable in tournament decks. Collectors seek them for their historic significance and their competitive edge.
