How popular is Magic right now?
- No. 1 trading card game on TCGplayer by sales value in Q3 2026, unchanged from Q2. (TCGplayer, Best-Selling Trading Card Games, Q3 2026)
- Collectr describes Magic as having a deep, durable collector base; it ranks behind Pokémon, One Piece and Yu-Gi-Oh! in Collectr's tracked activity. (Collectr, State of the Hobby 2026 mid-year report)
Collectr measures activity inside its collection-tracking app; TCGplayer ranks games by sales value on its US marketplace. Neither covers every sale, so treat both as indicators, not market share.
