Magic: The Gathering
- What is Magic: The Gathering? Magic: The Gathering (MTG) is a collectible card game created by mathematician Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast. Players take on the role of powerful wizards, known as planeswalkers, and use decks of spell cards representing creatures, spells, and artifacts to defeat their opponents.
- What do I need to play Magic: The Gathering? To play MTG, you’ll need a deck of at least 60 cards, with no more than 4 copies of any card except basic lands. Each player also needs a 20-sided dice to track their life total (starting at 20 life points). Additionally, you’ll require a flat surface to play on and enough space for both players’ cards.
- How do I win a game of Magic: The Gathering? The primary way to win in MTG is to reduce your opponent’s life total to 0. You do this by attacking with creatures and casting spells that deal damage to them. Players can also lose if they have to draw a card but can’t because their library (deck) is empty.
- What are the different card types in Magic: The Gathering? In MTG, there are five main types of cards:
- Creatures: Representing monsters and beings that fight for you.
- Sorceries: One-time spells that have various effects when cast.
- Instants: Similar to sorceries, but they can be played at any time, even during an opponent’s turn.
- Enchantments: Permanents that grant continuous effects to either player.
- Artifacts: Non-creature permanents that often provide special abilities.
- How do I start playing Magic: The Gathering? If you’re new to the game, you can start with a pre-constructed deck or a beginner-friendly product like a Planeswalker Deck. These decks are designed to be more straightforward and balanced for beginners. Additionally, you can ask a friend or visit a local game store to find other players who are willing to help you learn the game or participate in events like Friday Night Magic (FNM) where players gather to play MTG. There are also online platforms where you can play the game digitally and practice against computer opponents or real players from around the world.
