Every Magic player has had this moment: you can picture the card, you can picture the art, you can even picture the draft where you got absolutely wrecked by it… but the set name is gone. Your brain kept the trauma and deleted the file label.
This MTG Sets page is here to fix that.
Use it to browse Magic: The Gathering sets by release date, jump to a specific expansion, and quickly find what you need for deckbuilding, collecting, or proxy printing. If you’re the type who remembers set symbols better than birthdays, you’re in the right place.
What you’ll find on our MTG Sets page
Think of this as your “set index” for MTG:
- Every major MTG set in one place, organized so you can actually find things
- Release dates so you can anchor a set in time (and stop mixing up “that one horror set” with the other horror set)
- Universes Beyond and special releases, clearly labeled
- A fast path from set → cards, so you can build, print, or playtest without digging through ten tabs
How to use this page (fast)
A few practical ways people use a sets list like this:
- You know the set name: click it, grab the cards you need, move on with your life.
- You only know the vibe: browse by year and you’ll find it. “It was the one with cute animals” is still enough.
- You’re building by era: filter to the time period you care about (new Standard, older staples, retro favorites).
- You’re proxy printing by set: open the set page so you can keep frames, treatments, and any weird set-specific stuff consistent.
Print-nerd aside: consistency is what makes proxies feel “real” in sleeves. Not realism. Consistency. Your printer does not care about your emotions, but your playgroup might.

Why “set” matters when you’re printing proxies
If you only care about gameplay, you can mash together printings from ten different sets and be totally fine.
If you care about your proxies looking clean in sleeves, sets matter because they change the stuff printers notice:
- Frames and layouts change. Different frames can make a deck look visually messy even when everything is the correct card.
- Double-faced cards exist. The good news: we automatically handle double-faced cards so you don’t have to manually cobble together front-and-back files.
- Universes Beyond sets can look different. They often have distinct visual identity and treatments that stand out more in a mixed deck.
- Remastered and special products are their own ecosystem. Reprints, alternate treatments, and set symbols can vary a lot, even when the card text is identical.
Self-deprecating note: I have absolutely printed a whole sheet with the wrong “fit to page” setting before. The cards came out perfectly sized for a different game. Print at 100% and do one test page. Ask me how I know.
A quick note on proxy use (keep it simple)
We’re pro-proxy for playtesting and casual play, and anti-counterfeiting forever.
- Do not try to pass proxies off as real cards.
- For sanctioned tournaments, you generally need real cards (with very limited, judge-issued exceptions in specific situations).
FAQs
What counts as an “MTG set”?
Usually: main expansion releases, Universes Beyond releases, and notable supplemental products (like Remastered sets). This page is meant to help you find what you’re looking for quickly, not argue taxonomy.
Are Universes Beyond sets listed here too?
Yes. They’re labeled so you can spot them instantly.
Why do some sets show “TBA” for the exact day?
Wizards sometimes announces the month first and later locks the exact date. We’ll keep the table updated as official dates firm up.
How do I find cards from a specific set?
Click the set name from the list and use the set page to browse cards, staples, and anything else we surface for that release.
Do proxies need to match the exact set printing?
For gameplay, no. For aesthetics and “shuffle feel” consistency, it often helps to keep a deck’s printings aligned, especially for lands and high-visibility staples.
