ANGELIC RENEWAL'S CONDITION GUIDE 
 
This simplified grading guide gives basic categories for the condition of Magic: The Gathering cards.
Most tournment rules only allow playdecks to have cards all in the same condition, so that an obviously played card cannot be easily identified from the other cards of the playdeck.
 
 
 
BASED ON THE SCRYE GUIDE:
 
 Mint: 
 
 This is a card that is perfect in everyway. 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Near-Mint: 

This (probably) unplayed card shows almost no wear and may have a few minor scratches or slight marks on the card's edges.  
 
 
 
 
 
Fine : 

This card has obviously been played, but not heavily. It lacks marks that would  make it easily identifiable. It definitely has some minor scratches and/or less-than-perfect edges. It will show less than 1/16" depth of white along one or two edges of one face of the card. It may have a minor crease that is only visible close-up 

.
Good: 

This card has a played look to it. It will have white showing on three or four edges on both faces. This card may also have more than 1/16" depth of white showing on an edge on the back face of the card. It may also be a card that looks like a Near-Mint card except that it has one distinguishing wear feature, or an easily identifiable crease. It may also have black marks from dirt. It is only acceptable for play if it cannot be easily distinguished from the othe cards of the playdeck.
Poor: 

Any card in less than Good condition.
