Buying Magic cards in Norway: every store, explained

Which Norwegian stores sell Magic: The Gathering singles, what sets them apart, and how to find the cheapest price without checking eight web shops.

Last reviewed

Magic: The Gathering cards are sold in Norway in three ways: through web shops that carry singles, through physical game stores, and between private individuals on marketplaces. This guide covers where to find what, what it costs, and how to avoid paying postage more times than you need to.

The Norwegian web shops

Seven Norwegian web shops carry Magic singles with searchable stock. They differ enough that sticking to one rarely pays off:

Cardmarket: the marketplace

Cardmarket is Europe's largest marketplace for singles. Prices are consistently lower than in stores, because you are buying from private individuals. Two things are worth knowing: filter on sellers in Norway if you want to avoid customs and long delivery times, and remember that each seller ships separately. Five cards from five sellers means five lots of postage.

Finding the cheapest price without checking eight stores

The price of the same card can vary threefold between Norwegian stores, and stock changes daily. Checking manually takes time, and it is easy to miss the store that happens to have that exact card cheaply.

Kortjakt searches all 8 sources at once and shows price and stock side by side. Look up Sol Ring or Counterspell, for example, and you will see what the card costs right now — with a link straight to the store's own product page.

Postage is often the deciding line item

Norwegian card stores send singles as letters, from around 50 kr, and some offer free shipping above 2,000–2,500 kr. On an order of a few hundred kroner, postage is often a quarter of the total. The maths therefore tends to favour buying everything in one place, even when no single store is cheapest on every card.

If you have a whole decklist, the list search takes it in one go and works out which split gives the lowest total once postage is counted. Read more in the guide to shipping and postage.

Buying second-hand between individuals

Facebook groups and Finn.no are also used for Magic trading in Norway. The prices can be good, but you have no buyer protection and no guarantee of condition. Use buyer protection where it exists, ask for photos of the actual card, and compare with the store price first — a “good deal” is only good if it actually undercuts what the stores charge.

Frequently asked questions

Where can you buy Magic cards in Norway?
There are seven Norwegian web shops carrying Magic singles — Collectible (Oslo), Midgard Games (Bergen), Alta Kube (Alta), Tryllepapp (Drammen), Adamstuen Retro (Oslo), Korthaien and Outland — plus Norwegian sellers on the Cardmarket marketplace. Kortjakt searches all 8 at once.
Is it cheaper to buy Magic cards from abroad?
The card price is often lower abroad, but shipping and any customs charges eat up the difference on small orders. Buying from a Norwegian seller on Cardmarket gets you marketplace prices with no customs and a short delivery time. For larger orders, foreign sellers can pay off — count on VAT and a customs handling fee on top.
What is the cheapest way to buy a lot of Magic cards?
Gather the order at as few stores as possible. Postage of 50–100 kr per store means five cheap cards from five stores quickly costs more than the same cards from one store that is slightly more expensive per card. The list search on Kortjakt works out the split that gives the lowest total including postage.
Does Outland sell Magic singles?
Yes. Outland carries both sealed product and singles, and has physical stores in several Norwegian cities alongside the web shop. The singles selection varies, but they are often early with cards from new sets.
