Magic: The Gathering is a collectible card game set in a multiverse filled with diverse planes, each with its own unique cultures, creatures, and magic. Players, known as planeswalkers, use decks of cards representing spells, creatures, and artifacts to battle each other. The lore explores the interactions between these planes and the conflicts that arise from the ambitions of powerful beings. The game's story is told through expansions and sets, featuring iconic characters like Gideon Jura and Liliana Vess. Major events, such as the Phyrexian invasion or the rise of Nicol Bolas, shape the ongoing narrative, creating a rich tapestry of alliances, betrayals, and epic battles across the multiverse.
