Total number of cards ever printed?

General forum

Posted on Jan. 16, 2013, 2 p.m. by LittleFuryBugs

Is there any estimation for the total number of cards printed? Or has Wizards ever announced something along the lines of 'yay! we just printed out X millionth card' ?

(and to clarify I dont mean how many different cards there are i mean how many total official cards have been printed)

i doubt it, i read once that there are like 12,000 or more that have been made, but each new set has a run time of 2 years. im sure if you sat down with their WotC's records and stuff you could figure it out but its doubtful that number is on record anywhere

12,993 cards have been printed in all and with gatecrash that number will officially reach over 13,000. congrats to wotc for so many terrific cards.

there is a chance that isn't the exact number what I did to figure this out was take the combined total of all cards legal in vintage + the cards banned from vintage + the total number of different cards in unglued/unhinged. which translates to 12,752 + 12 + 229 = 12,993.

I would estimate that if you took the number of magic players, which is probably near several million last i checked, and the size of a random collection, which is anywhere from a few thousand to almost a million, and I would say there are possibly over a trillion [citation needed] mtg cards in print.
