What is Magic: The Gathering?

Magic: The Gathering is the original trading card game, created by Wizards of the Coast in 1993. Each player builds a deck of lands, creatures and spells and casts them to reduce their opponents from 20 life to zero.

How a game plays

Each turn you play lands to make mana, then spend that mana to cast creatures, instants, sorceries and other spells. Attack with your creatures, block with defenders, and use removal and combat tricks to control the board until an opponent runs out of life.
