Magic the Gathering

Magic the Gathering is a trading card game developed and published by Wizards of the Coast. The game involves two or more players each with a customized deck of cards representing magical spells, creatures, and artifacts that they use to defeat their opponents. The game has a deep and complex lore with five distinct colors representing different themes and philosophies in the game world.

Players use their decks to reduce their opponent's life total to zero while defending their own life total. Cards come in four types: creatures, sorceries, enchantments, and artifacts. Creatures are used to attack or block, sorceries are used to cast spells, enchantments are used to empower creatures or cast abilities, and artifacts are used to provide various benefits to the player.

The game is played in a turn-based format with players taking turns playing cards until one player's life total is reduced to zero. Each turn consists of phases where a player can take certain actions. The game is played using a comprehensive set of rules that dictate how the cards can be played and how the game should be played.
