Redemption in Magic is the official act by Wizards of the Coast of exchanging cards on a one to one basis for other cards.
Paper to paper
The first three Magic expansions (Arabian Nights, Antiquities, and Legends) all had redemption programs due to printing and collating issues.[1] As late as May 1999, there were also redemption programs for banned and restricted cards.[2]
Digital to paper
The Magic Online Redemption Program is a feature on Magic Online that allows a player with a complete digital set on Magic Online to have those cards converted to a complete paper copy of the same set.[3][4] The digital cards are deleted from the player's account and a the player is sent a corresponding full set of physical cards.[5] A redemption set comes sealed in a shrink-wrapped box with a label on it indicating what set is inside and whether it is regular (non-foil) or premium (foil).
In order to redeem a Magic Online card set, you must have at least one of every card in the set you are trying to redeem in your collection. All cards must be premium to redeem a premium set. All cards must be regular to redeem a regular set. Appropriate basic lands must be in your collection if the set's English version booster packs have them. Cards which are not part of the regular basic set, such as extended/borderless/full art cards, Showcase cards, Masterpiece Series, and other card variants, are not required to be in your collection and cannot be redeemed. Magic Online-only sets and supplemental sets also cannot be redeemed.
A Redemption Request costs $25, plus shipping costs of $7.99 plus sales tax (for US residents) or $34.99 plus VAT and duties or import fees (for those living outside the US). Return to Ravnica and previous sets released prior to February 1, 2013 cost only $5 to redeem, with shipping fees of $2.99 (to the US) or $29.99 (outside the US).
As a general rule, Magic Online sets become available for redemption roughly one month after they are released. If a redeemable set runs out of stock before its Redemption Reprint Guarantee Date, the set will be reprinted. After a redeemable set's Redemption Reprint Guaranteed Date has passed, such set will be available while supplies last or until its Cutoff Date, whichever comes first.[6]
