What is Magic: The Gathering? In Magic: The Gathering, you are a Planeswalker, one of the greatest mages in the Multiverse. Using a deck of Magic cards, you cast spells; summon creatures to fight for you, and battle against other Planeswalkers in an attempt to defeat your opponent. Magic is a tradable card game (TCG) where you build your collection of cards by purchasing product, trading with friends, assembling decks of cards, and battling against an opponent or opponents down from typically twenty life to zero. The game is constantly changing as new cards are released throughout each year. As you get new cards, whether from these new sets or through trading with your friends, you can continuously update your decks and discover a whole new game! There are many ways to play Magic: The Gathering, with a variety of different tournament formats, or simply play socially with your friends around the kitchen table, or join your local Magic Community and find events in your area. Magic: The Gathering focuses around five colours and their respective lands. These five colours/lands are:
White/Plains: Order, light, and protection, these are the white mage's values. White mana comes from sprawling plains, sunlit savannahs, and windswept meadows, inhabited by the noble human knights and soldiers, whilst from the heavens, angel’s aid in bringing law and structure to the lands.
Blue/Island: Knowledge, manipulation, wind, and wave, these are the blue mage's tools. Islands provide blue mana, where mystical merfolk are dwarfed only by the humongous krakens that dwell in the deep sea. Whilst high in the endless sky battle mages bring forth deceit, illusion, and logic upon their foes.
Black/Swamp: Death, ambition, and darkness are the stock and trade of black mages. Black mana is drawn from dank swamps, where vile Demons, treacherous Vampires and hordes of Zombies inhabit the shadowy wastelands, haunted catacombs, and fetid bogs.
Red/Mountain: Freedom, fire, and impulse are the lifeblood of every red mage. Red mana flows from rugged mountain ranges, rocky crags, and the fiery heart of volcanoes. Goblins, Giants and Dragons aid the red wizard bringing forth fury and passion to incinerate all those who stand before them.
Green/Forest: Strength, ferocity, and life, these are the values that sustain the green mage. The teeming forests overflow with green mana, bringing forth unimaginable beasts, the graceful elves, and aged treefolk. Green magic is about growth, life, and brute force.
White/Plains: Order, light, and protection, these are the white mage's values. White mana comes from sprawling plains, sunlit savannahs, and windswept meadows, inhabited by the noble human knights and soldiers, whilst from the heavens, angel’s aid in bringing law and structure to the lands.
