Magic: The Gathering fuses playing cards and trading cards: players face off with decks they’ve built by selecting cards from a larger pool. That customization means every game plays out a little differently, and makes Magic the deepest strategy card game there is. At every step, players must draw on their critical thinking skills to calculate the perfect strategy, predict the oncoming attack, and outwit the opponent. And it's more than cards. It’s stories. It’s art. It’s a community twenty-five years in the making, with players, fans, and artists from all around the world united by a love of the game.
