Alex Carter
CEO & Founder

Alex Carter, a lifelong TCG enthusiast and former tournament player, founded ManaHive in 2022 with a simple vision: to create a UK-based TCG store that prioritizes quality, authenticity, and community. With over 15 years of experience in competitive play and card valuation, Alex ensures every product meets our high standards.

“I started ManaHive because I wanted to build more than just a store – I wanted to create a hub where players could find not just cards, but a community that shares their passion.”
