Scrye Set List Cards

Index | 1995-1996


The Scrye magazine debuted in October 1994 in order to cover the new market of trading card games initialized by the overwhelming success of Magic the Gathering.
Over the years the content has been adjusted to include trading miniature games and the release frequency was changed from two months to six weeks, but otherwise the magazine has been very consistent.
Enduring the rapid regression of the trading card game market beginning in 1996, Scrye has outlived almost every other trading card magazine in the market.

A few older issues of the magazine outsourced checklists of Magic sets and printed them on separate cards.

Scrye issue #15 features an oversized Black Lotus card.

Scrye magazine ceased Publication in April 2009 with Issue #131.

Dear Scrye Contributor: We at F+W Media continuously analyze our publishing strategy to determine if we are meeting our readers' needs and company goals.
We take into consideration the marketplace we serve and the opportunities available for each of our magazine titles.

After much analysis and deliberation, we have determined to cease publication of Scrye magazine; the final issue will be the April 2009 edition, issue #131.

You may have specific questions about what has happened, and we have attempted to answer some general concerns below. If you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to e-mail me at joyce.greenholdt@fwmedia.com.

You have helped provide our readers with a consistent supply of information,instruction, and entertainment. On behalf of everyone at Scrye Magazine, I would like to thank you for your contributions to the magazine.

*GENERAL CONCERNS*

*Why are you ceasing publication of Scrye?*
With the escalating price of producing the magazine and declining subscriber and advertising bases, the future profitability of the magazine was questionable, at best.
As such, the decision was made to apply resources and staff to other areas with greater long-term potential.

*Will this change delay when I get paid for stories that have been published?*
No.

*What is the copyright status of stories that have appeared in Scrye?*
F+W retains those rights.

*Will you have work for me in the future?*
While it is possible that we may produce games-focused special magazine,book, or digital projects in the future, nothing is currently scheduled.
F+W continues to publish a wide range of publications for collectors and hobbyists, so there may be opportunities available for you, depending on your other interests.

*I like writing for F+W. What are some of your other publications?*
Please visit us on the Web at www.fwpublications.com.

*How can I keep in touch with you?*
I am still employed at F+W, now working on the editorial staff of Goldmine, our bi-weekly magazine for record collectors and music enthusiasts.
You can continue to reach me at joyce.greenholdt@fwmedia.com or (715) 445-4612 ext.13419.
