About Top Deck Cards
Hi, I'm Andre LeFort. I run Top Deck Cards out of our home in London, Ontario, with help from my family. Every card you buy here is one I've personally pulled, graded, sleeved, and either handed to you in person or packed for shipping.
No warehouse. No third-party fulfillment. Just real people, in a real Canadian house, sending real cards to fellow Magic players.
Top Deck Cards is an online retailer. We don't operate a walk-in storefront. Orders are placed online and shipped Canada-wide via Canada Post, with optional free local pickup in London, Ontario (and nearby cities on coordinated trips) by appointment after the order is confirmed and paid.
How I got into Magic
I was first introduced to the game in 1994 as a 12-year-old, when I had no real idea what I was doing — just a kid trading cards with friends. Then life happened, and it took nearly 30 years before the bug bit again. Now our whole family plays, and somewhere between rebuilding my own collection and helping my boys build theirs, Top Deck Cards started.
Why I started Top Deck Cards
Honestly, because the alternatives weren't great. Big online card shops in Canada are reliable but expensive — their prices include layers of platform fees, marketing budgets, and overhead. eBay and Facebook Marketplace are cheaper but have no grading transparency: a card listed as "Near Mint" might arrive heavily played, with no real recourse. I wanted to build the kind of small store I'd want to buy from myself: every card priced fairly, graded honestly against a public standard, and sold by someone you can actually email.
A family operation in London
Top Deck Cards runs out of our home in London, Ontario. My boys help me collect, sort, and pack orders — usually in between building their own Commander decks. It's a small operation by design: every order is handled by someone who actually plays the game and cares whether you get the right card in the right condition. Local pickups are casual and friendly — usually a quick meetup at a public location somewhere in London or a nearby city we're already heading through. We arrange the time and place after payment is received.

- Foils, etched foils, and non-foils across modern and recent sets, with selective older printings as inventory comes in.
- Carefully graded using Face to Face Grading Standards (NM, LP, MP, HP, DMG). The condition shown on each listing is what you receive.
