SHARDS OF ALARA

Shards of Alara is a Magic: The Gathering standard-legal expansion released on 3 October 2008 (18 years ago) with 250 cards in the set, using the set code ALA. A standard-legal expansion - the main type of Magic release, with its own world, mechanics and draft environment. On this page you can browse every Shards of Alara product we track - booster packs, booster boxes and preconstructed decks - and jump straight into the full Shards of Alara card list with daily updated prices.

Opening Shards of Alara boosters and booster boxes

A sealed Shards of Alara booster box is the cheapest way to open ALA cards in bulk, while collector boosters concentrate the foil and extended-art treatments. Compare the sealed prices above before you buy: box prices move with the value of the set's rares, so a set with expensive mythics usually has expensive boxes too.

Shards of Alara card prices and how we track them

Every ALA single on Magicmark.io carries a market price in EUR and USD, a price trend, and 1-day, 7-day and 30-day averages, rebuilt daily from Cardmarket "from" prices plus other marketplaces. That means the Shards of Alara price you see is what a near-mint copy actually sells for today, not the value it had at release in 2008. Foils, etched foils and special treatments are priced separately, so you never compare a non-foil ALA rare to its foil version by accident.
