Scrye Magazine, the longest-running periodical reporting on the collectible card game hobby and the leading print resource for secondary-market prices on Magic: The Gathering, will cease publication in April 2009 as announced in an email to former editors and contributors.
The last issue will be #131. The magazine launched in 1993. The fate of GamingReport.com, the online presence of the magazine, is still open.

After Dragon and Dungeon ceased publication in September 2007, nationally distributed gaming magazines have disappeared.

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 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.

Best Regards,

Joyce Greenholdt, Editor
