FAQ

Why should I shop at MagicStronghold.com over someone else?

Magic Stronghold encompasses all the first-class characteristics of our more expensive online Magic: The Gathering competitors:

We have an extensive selection of singles.
Our singles conditions are held to the highest standard.
Our customers trust us.
We emphasize the importance of expedited customer service.

However, there are several important distinctions we'd like to stress. We keep our prices competitive; our sell prices are base entirely on how much the replacement cost of the card is. We are dedicated to providing and maintaining a website that is highly functional and easy to use.

Do I qualify for free shipping on my order?

Free shipping offers are available through promotions and other coupons available through other offers. Each coupon has their own specific details to abide by.

How long does an order take to reach me? (Domestic)

Canada Post Standard Shipping: We are located in British Columbia, Canada. Orders typically take 1 day to process. Domestic and shipping to the US will take up to 10 business days depending on how far away you live, please refer to the map below.

Canada Post Expedited/Xpresspost Shipping is guaranteed, insured, and you can track your shipment online. Depending on what service you select, Next Day, Second Day, Ground, etc. You will always know exactly when your package will arrive.

USPS Certified Mail is required by TCG Player. These shipments normally take about 5-10 business days. We ship these items every Tuesday and Friday. Tracking numbers are supplied for these packages. 

Are you planning on selling MTGO digital cards eventually?  

We currently have no plans to offer or buy Magic Online cards until WOTC in their infinite wisdom allows us to sync our online inventory to directly to our MODO account via an XML datafeed or an API. Send Wizards an email about this if you'd ever like to see us carry Digital Cards!

Do you know what cards are currently banned or restricted?

I have a rulings question; can you help me find the answer?
