Magic Academy

Learn to play the world's most popular trading card game

What is Magic: The Gathering?

In a game of Magic, players take the role of wizards in a thrilling magical duel. Take turns to cast spells, summon creatures, or enlist the help of powerful planeswalkers in a mighty clash of sorcerous power!

Players construct a deck from their collection of cards, in their choice of colours, and use their deck to do battle.

Which Magic colour are you?

The White Mage, defender of good
The Blue Mage, conjuring powerful illusions
The Black Mage, wielding power over death
The Red Mage, controlling the primal elements of fire
The Green Mage, evoking monstrous creatures
