Welcome to the most complex — and the most enjoyable — game in the world! Hopefully, we can help you through the newbie stage that everyone goes through, and launch you into the world of professional Magic with ease! Below you'll find four articles that explain the basics of what serious Magic is all about - and below that, you'll find an archive of beginners' articles. You don't have to read every last article, of course - but we can guarantee your game will improve dramatically if you manage to get through the entire series.

If you have a question about how a specific card works, feel free to Ask Our Virtual Judge, with a database of over 4,000 rulings and explanations of individual cards!

As always, we're looking to improve this section. If you're new to Magic and think there's something we need here, tell us!
