Magic: The Gathering, often abbreviated as MTG, is a renowned collectible card game (CCG) created by mathematician and game designer Richard Garfield. First introduced by Wizards of the Coast in 1993, this game has since captured the hearts of millions of players worldwide.
Magic is distinct for its intricate strategy, captivating lore, and a vast array of beautifully illustrated cards. Players build decks using these cards, each representing magical spells, creatures, or artifacts, and engage in strategic battles with their opponents. The game’s popularity has resulted in numerous expansions and formats, ensuring its longevity and constant innovation.
Magic: The Gathering has received widespread acclaim from both players and critics, solidifying its status as a cornerstone of the CCG genre. Over the years, it has received multiple awards and recognitions, including numerous Origins Awards and inductions into the Origins Hall of Fame.
