The Magic Card Trader Reviews 

Been shopping at The Magic Card Trader since start of 2025. I have no complaints, the owner Joe always goes out of his way to make sure everything with the order is correct and will reach out if there are any issues.

Really good prices on MTG singles, strongly recommend.

I have ordered many times from here and I have always experienced prompt dispatch, secure packaging and excellent communication at all stage of the ordering process. Pricing is also competitive and a great selection. Have done, and will continue, to recommend to friends colleagues and random commander pod players.

Always a pleasant experience from the Magic Card Trader, never had any issues with making purchases or navigating the site. All cards are priced reasonably well and are sent out promptly. Highly recommended to anyone who is into buying singles especially.

I have been using The Magic Card Trader for some time now. The service is always competitively priced (or cheaper). The service is good. On the occasional time an issue has arisen, they have always been understanding and prompt to resolve it.

Overall, it feels more like the old days of trading with friends than dealing with a business. If you haven't tried them, give it a go. You won't regret it.

First time buyer with TMCT, the cards were shipped super quickly, everything arrived as described and was super easy to unpack. I also got a nice message on the receipt that made me smile, thank you Joe!

I’ve used this site for years since picking up MtG as a hobby at the end of 2013.

I’ve always found Joe incredibly friendly and helpful. I’ve never had orders cancelled but then again, I don’t try and profit off of recent unbannings happening in various formats. That being said, I do believe I purchased 2 copies of a card once for a newly released Commander deck which did cause a card to spike by a noticeable amount (maybe £5-£10) and both were sent out with no issues.

Postage is always done super quick, cards nicely packaged and the 100’s if not 1000’s of cards I’ve purchased over the past 12 years have always been received as expected.

I’ll continue to order from TMCT and also advise friends to do the same!

Tried to purchase three copies of a recently unbanned card for Commander decks. They offered to send me one card and cancel two which I did not want to do as I need three for three separate decks I run. Order was cancelled as they believed I was a speculative buyer.
Purchased three cards for 1p more each from elsewhere with no issues. Will avoid using in future.

Great service
Cards arrive in perfect condition and how described
All correspondence is fast and polite

Highly recommend them for buying AND selling

I have been buying singles from MCT for a number of years and have always found the staff to be helpful and friendly. If there is an issue, theygo out of their way to rectify and resolve it to everyone's satidfaction.

The Magic Card Trader is my go-to in the UK for mtg singles and accessories. Why? Competitive on price, friendly passionate staff and excellent stock. I've used them for over 12 years now, have spent into 4 figures on cards and I do not plan to stop anytime soon! A staple of the mtg community in the UK. Thoroughly recommended.

Quick and personal service. Well priced 👍

Been using Themagiccardtrader for years, would recommend very highly 😊

Great range of cards and the website (although sometimes troublesome) is easy enough to navigate.

Cards are always as described and I’ve been to collect and they are organised and well maintained (compared to some collections I’ve seen of cards just scattered in in boxes)

Never had an issue even when I’ve been a pain in placing my orders.

Great service.

Excellent all round. I have bought, sold and traded with Joe and his business for over 10 years. Fair prices given for my unwanted cards with prompt payment upon receipt. Dropped my last buy lists off one evening and payment received within 48 hours.

A business I will continue to use for at least another 10 years!

I've bought from and sold cards here multiple times in the past few years.

The service has always been great. Questions are easily answered and the rate mistakes are resolved quickly by just sending and email and bringing it up.

I've been using this website since 2020 and I'll continue to use it as my main option for sourcing singles I'm after.

I'm not a current player or trader, I was selling what I could of my old card collection. After hunting around the web a bit this looked like a good option with easy to use website and competitive buy prices.
Final trade was made with a fair assessment of card quality and payment was made promptly.
Can't ask for more than that.

Have used TMCT and been in touch with Joe since 2014. Have always been happy with the service and the prices. Hes a great guy and always goes to extra lengths to sort you out.
Always my first port of call for singles.

Great guy that runs the website, have ordered many times over the years and have always got my orders with the listed condition of the cards. Quick emails for when asking questions about cards or your order and always makes sure you got everything you need. 5 stars ⭐

I've ordered from here once before and everything went great, second time round my order never arrived and was seemingly lost by royal mail, the customer support on this has been fantastic, very quick responses and very accommodating towards rectifying problems.

I will definitely be using it again as when the order arrived cards were as described and they arrived fast, and when they didn't the customer support couldn't have been better.

Highly recommend.

Great prices and customer service.
I would highly recommend
