Magic: The Gathering

Magic: The Gathering - often shortened to MTG or Magic - is a tabletop collectible card game. MTG is published by Wizards of the Coast - which are commonly reffered to as Wizards.

Resources

There are many useful resources. The following list provides a select few of them.

  • cardmarket is a trading post for tabletop cards based in europe.
  • deckstats.net gives the option to build and analyze MTG(A) decks.
  • Delver Lens is an Android application for scanning cards and displaying its price. Following scanning the cards can be exported to a CSV file.

Playing Online

There is a fully digital and online version of MTG called Magic: The Gathering Arena - or MTGA for short - that has nearly the same rules as the tabletop variant. Another alternative to playing fully digital is Magic: The Gathering Online.

It is also possible to remotely play with tabletop cards. This is most easily done on Spelltable which is an official website by Wizards. For playing Spelltable a webcam is needed to be set up with a bird's eye view over the playing field. An alternative to a normal webcam is DroidCam for Android which is supported by the website itself.

Both Spelltable and MTGA use the same login credentials.
