Magic: The Gathering

Magic: The Gathering reshaped tabletop gaming as the first major collectible card game, and this collection captures its long migration onto the screen. Rather than adapt the lore into a different genre, these releases simulate the card game itself: build a deck, tap lands for mana, and out-think an opponent across the colors of magic.

The Duels of the Planeswalkers line, refreshed almost yearly, served as a guided on-ramp for newcomers with curated decks and campaign duels. Magic Duels broadened that into a free-to-play model before Magic: The Gathering Arena rebuilt the experience for serious digital play and competitive ladders.

Taken together, the games trace how a paper game with thousands of cards solved the problem of teaching its own dense rules to people who had never shuffled a physical deck.

The Magic: The Gathering franchise spans 7 games in the CrossBinge catalog.
