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.
The most valuable Shards of Alara cards right now are Tezzeret the Seeker, Relic of Progenitus, Ad Nauseam, Memory Erosion, Ethersworn Canonist and Prince of Thralls. Tezzeret the Seeker leads the set at around €15,30 for a near-mint copy. Prices for every Shards of Alara single are refreshed daily from Cardmarket, TCGplayer and Cardhoarder, so the ALA value list you see here reflects the current market rather than an old price guide.

Most popular Shards of Alara cards with players
The Shards of Alara cards players build with most often include Jungle Shrine, Arcane Sanctum, Crumbling Necropolis, Etherium Sculptor, Seaside Citadel, Savage Lands, Knight of the White Orchid and Fleshbag Marauder. These are the ALA staples that show up in Commander, Standard and constructed decks, and steady demand is usually what keeps their price from dropping after the set rotates out of print.
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. 4 of the ten most valuable Shards of Alara cards are mythic rares, which is a good indicator of where the box value sits.
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.
