Magic: The Gathering FAQs
What is Magic: The Gathering?
Magic: The Gathering (MTG) is the original collectible card game, first released in 1993. Players take the role of powerful planeswalkers, casting spells and summoning creatures from a deck built around five colours of mana, aiming to reduce their opponent from 20 life to zero. With decades of sets and many ways to play, it offers incredible depth for newcomers and veterans alike.
What is the best Magic: The Gathering product for a beginner?
A Starter Kit or a pre-built Commander deck is the friendliest entry point, since both give you a complete, ready-to-play deck with no construction required. Jumpstart boosters are another great pick for a quick, casual game. From there, Play Boosters and Booster Boxes let you open cards and start brewing decks of your own.
Can Magic cards from different sets be used together?
Absolutely. Magic is designed so cards from across its history can be combined, and which ones are legal depends only on the format you play. Commander and Modern let you use a huge card pool from many sets, while Standard uses only the most recent releases. Around the kitchen table, anything goes.
