The Expected Value Magic: The Gathering EV Tools

How Do I Use This?

Use The Expected Value calculators to test scenarios for play boosters, collector boosters, and preconstructed decks. Every tool runs entirely in your browser so you can vet the model, tweak assumptions, and make confident decisions.

Have suggestions or ideas for new tools? We’d love to hear them. If you spot any errors or have questions, please contact us — we’re here to help.

Lower costs for buyers. Reduced fees for sellers.

As both a seller and buyer on TCGplayer, I grew tired of the old interfaces, endless surveys, recurring bugs, and rising fees without meaningful improvements. I moved my buying and selling to Mana Pool. I now see better pricing on high-end cards and stronger deposit payouts because the fee structure is lighter.

  • Buyer win: More savings on high-end singles.
  • Seller win: Reduced fees keep more money in each deposit.
Try Mana Pool and compare your costs
