I had that thought whenever I see my pile of Magic: the Gathering cards in my room, most of them acquired from booster pack prizes and booster pack cracking sessions, and wonder how I can make use of them.

I had several recycling Magic: the Gathering practices in the past and also implemented them at times recently. The easiest way is probably to sell them in bulk in terms of boxes.

When I transferred to a new boarding house, I had a few boxes of old Magic: the Gathering card sets in a cabinet that I needed to get rid of. What I did is posted in my local MtG group that I am selling these boxes at a very cheap price. I had to set the number to a below-average one to attract buyers and do an immediate deal. In just two days, I was able to sell those boxes of cards to a player who was just starting to build their group’s card pool for Commander.

Another way to use your old Magic: the Gathering cards is to build intro decks out of them if you have a lot of spare basic lands. I made 30-card intro decks with basic themes and gave them away during local conventions and Magic: the Gathering Learn-to-play events at our local game store.

The third one is making them into a household decoration. this would require your creativity and imagination. You can glue each edge of the cards and make them paper or clip boxes, document storage, and desktop decors. Even making a wallpaper of Magic: the Gathering cards in your room or play area is possible.

Last but the least, is important to make clothing out of your cards. This is plausible if there are frequent cosplay or Pop culture-related events in your area. This is one way of you expressing your fandom of the game while being innovative and dressing up to impress our fellow geeks and other con-goers.

That is a wrap for the ways to make use of your excess Magic: the Gathering cards. If you have any other ideas in mind, please feel free to share them via the comment box below.
