What Is Magic: The Gathering?

Key Features of Magic: The Gathering:

Players are powerful wizards called Planeswalkers who cast spells, summon creatures, and use magic to defeat opponents.

The game uses custom-built decks made from thousands of unique cards.

It's played both in-person with physical cards and digitally (like on MTG Arena or Magic Online).

Game Basics:

You start with a library (deck) and draw cards.

You play lands (mana sources) to cast spells like:

• Creatures (to attack/defend)
• Instants/Sorceries (effects and damage)

The goal is usually to reduce your opponent’s life total from 20 to 0.
