Ever wondered if all those MTG cards clanking around in your deck box are actually the same size? The good news is, mostly! Knowing the standard MTG card size is crucial for sleeving, storing, and even identifying potential counterfeits.
The universally accepted standard for Magic: The Gathering card dimensions is **2.5 inches (63.5mm) wide by 3.5 inches (88.9mm) tall.** This applies to almost every standard-sized card printed, from your common lands to that mythic rare you just pulled!
Why is this important? Consistent sizing ensures your cards fit properly into sleeves, preventing damage from shuffling and gameplay. It also allows for standardized deck boxes and storage solutions. While slight variations can occur due to printing or aging, anything drastically different should raise a red flag. So, measure up and keep those cards safe and sound!
