The Magma Deck Kit master set is built almost entirely from its variants: 50 slots drawn from just 33 cards, which works out to about 1.5 slots per card. Normal prints fill 47 of those slots and holos fill 3. Laid out nine to a side, the full run takes up 3 double-sided binder pages, a compact job for a Japanese Pokémon TCG release from the ADV era, which came out on October 24, 2003. The small footprint hides the real work, since the master set checklist counts printings as well as cards.
Five variant families make up the Magma Deck Kit master set, and the 1st Edition and Unlimited split drives most of them. Normal 1st Edition is the largest at 22 slots, followed by Normal Unlimited at 18 and plain Normal at 7. The holos are far smaller: 2 slots of Holo Unlimited and a single Holo 1st Edition. For a collector, a 1st Edition print is a separate slot from its Unlimited counterpart even when the card is identical, so each family needs its own copy.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal 1st Edition | 22 | 11 | 36% |
| Normal Unlimited | 18 | 8 | 35% |
| Normal | 7 | 0 | — |
| Holo Unlimited | 2 | 2 | 19% |
| Holo 1st Edition | 1 | 1 | 9.4% |

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
At 50 slots, the Magma Deck Kit master set is about 1.3 times the ADV era median of 40, so it is a larger job than a typical set of its period despite fitting on 3 binder pages. By master set value it ranks 2nd among the 4 comparable sets in its era. Its neighbors are smaller: the Salamence Constructed Starter Deck has 27 slots and Gift Box (Latias) has 18, so both are shorter master set checklists than this one.

A Magma Deck Kit master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 33 cards on this page, with their Normal, Reverse Holo and Holo prints each listed and priced on their own. Sign in and the checklist tracks what you own, in step with the Cardboard Alpha app.
The large NM-only figure is a complete catalog estimate when every printing has current NM pricing. LP, MP, HP, and DMG “and up” totals below it use the requested condition or a better available condition. These are summed reference prices, not a quote from one seller; a dash means the current market does not cover every printing yet.
“LP and up” means lightly played or better: the total uses LP when available, then NM as the better-condition fallback. The MP, HP, and DMG tiers follow the same pattern.
