Magic: The Gathering
Magic: The Gathering (MTG) checklists by set: every card by collector number, with borderless, showcase, extended art and surge foil in their own groups.
How an MTG checklist works: collector numbers, treatments and the 2026 set list
An MTG checklist is read by collector number. On current cards it sits in the bottom-left corner beside the rarity letter (C, U, R or M) and the set code, such as TRK for Star Trek. As Wizards of the Coast explained back in 2004, the numbering runs by colour: white cards first, then blue, black, red, green and multicoloured, followed by artifacts, nonbasic lands and basic lands. A card keeps the same collector number in every print language, so an English and a Japanese copy land on the same line. The set symbol tells rarity too: black for common, silver for uncommon, gold for rare and red-orange for mythic rare, the tier Shards of Alara added in 2008.
Numbers above the main set belong to alternate treatments of the same cards. Wizards made three of them the core of Project Booster Fun, which began with Throne of Eldraine in 2019: borderless cards carry art that goes all the way to the edge, extended art runs the art out to the left and right edges, and showcase cards get a frame and art styled on the set's theme. Surge foil is a rippled foil, a different finish from traditional foil; it first appeared under that name in the Warhammer 40,000 Collector's Edition decks in 2022. In the main Star Trek set (TRK), for example, surge foil cards turn up only in Collector Boosters.
Magic: The Gathering, MTG for short, is the trading card game Richard Garfield designed and Wizards of the Coast has published since Limited Edition, known as Alpha, came out on 5 August 1993. On 14 November 2026 Scryfall's database counted 33,357 distinct cards printed on paper. The 2026 set list held seven main releases: Lorwyn Eclipsed (23 January), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (6 March), Secrets of Strixhaven (24 April), Marvel Super Heroes (26 June), The Hobbit (14 August), Reality Fracture (2 October) and Star Trek (13 November). TMNT, Marvel Super Heroes, The Hobbit and Star Trek are Universes Beyond sets, the line Wizards announced in February 2021 for cards built on other franchises; since 2025 its new booster sets have been legal in every Constructed format, Standard included.
ColleX opened its Magic section in November 2026 with MTG Star Trek (set code TRK) and MTG Star Trek Commander (TRC, the four Commander decks). Each checklist has one entry per collector number, and a foil and a non-foil copy of the same number count as one card. The Group filter splits a set by treatment: Star Trek has twelve groups, from Main set, Borderless, LCARS, Showcase, Extended Art and Surge Foil to Signed headliners and Stardates. The main set is numbers 1–306 in Star Trek, but completion counts every printing, Borderless, LCARS, Showcase, Extended Art, Surge Foil, the signed headliners and Stardates included, as in a master set; the Group filter narrows the list to the main set or a single treatment.
