About The Reserved List
The Wizards of the Coast (WotC) Reserved List is an official promise dating back to 1996, in which WotC committed never to reprint certain older Magic: The Gathering cards in a functionally identical form to preserve their collectors’ and financial value. This list originally emerged as a response to market backlash caused by the 1995 Chronicles reprint set, which flooded the market and devalued original cards.
History and Development:
The Reserved List was first created in 1996 after the controversial Chronicles set, which had reprinted many cards en masse and crashed their market prices.
Initially, the list included cards from early sets up to Urza’s Destiny (1999), and Wizards committed to never reprinting these specific cards to protect collector value.
Cards on the list include iconic staples such as the Power Nine (e.g., Black Lotus, Moxen), the original dual lands, and other valuable older cards.No cards from sets after 1999’s Urza's Destiny are on the Reserved List, and WotC has maintained that no new cards will be added going forward.
In 2011, WotC updated its official reprint policy published on their website.
Key reforms included a ban on printing Reserved List cards in any form, premium or non-premium. Previously, premium (foil) versions of Reserved List cards had been printed to skirt the promise.
This 2011 announcement explicitly closed the “foil loophole,” stating no Reserved List cards will be printed physically at all, including foil versions or in any tournament-legal product. However, digital-only cards (e.g., Magic: The Gathering Online) are exempt from this policy[1][7].
Wizards also retained the right to print special-purpose versions of Reserved List cards not intended for normal tournament play, such as oversized cards for promotional or collector purposes.
Some controversy exists around the Reserved List continuing to restrict reprints in modern Magic markets, especially Commander format.
No cards have been removed or added to the Reserved List since its inception, preserving its original scope.
WotC emphasizes that the Reserved List applies only to physical, tournament-legal cards and does not restrict digital-only products or special non-tournament cards.
This comprehensive history and policy explanation aligns with WotC's publicly stated Reserved List policy and its 2011 reprint announcement, clarifying key points while recognizing the Reserved List’s role as a historic commitment in Magic: The Gathering’s evolution.
