Game Rules

MTG Carpenter assumes you already know what Magic: The Gatheringis and how to play it. So, you won’t find that information in this User Guide.

If needed, you can refer to the game’s rules at any of these resources:

  • Official Magic rules page– The rules, available in basic and comprehensive versions, straight from Wizards of the Coast.

  • Yawgatog.com– A website that provides Magic’s comprehensive rules, enhanced with links to individual rules and glossary terms.

  • MTG Wiki (Rules portal)– A publicly editable encyclopedia that specializes in topics on Magic.
