Before one can get to the battlefield, one must know how to evoke their magical powers \u30fb\nThere are many types of cards in Magic, the most important being lands and spells. You need\nboth of those to gain mana, the power needed to use magic and defeat opponents.\n\nMana comes from mana sources, usually lands and artifacts. Mana can be one of five colors\nor colorless \u30fb It must be used during the step in which it's drawn or it will vanish from the\nmana pool.\n\nLands\n\nOn each turn, a player can play one land\u30fb The basic lands are Plains, Island, Swamp,\nMountain, Forest, and Wastes\u30fb Once they are on the battlefield, they can be tapped to add\nwhite, blue, black, red, green, or colorless mana to their mana pool\u30fb\n\nLands can also be non-basic. These lands offer special abilities and may be tapped to produce\nmultiple colors of mana\u30fb Non-basic lands come with drawbacks, however, and often enter the\nbattlefield tapped\u30fb\n\nCreatures\n\nCreatures great and small use their talents on the battlefield\u30fb Like every other spell, they\nrequire mana to be cast by the player. Unlike other permanents, creatures experience\nsummoning sickness when they enter the battlefield. A creature can not attack or tap to\nactivate abilities unless they are on the battlefield when their controlling players start their\nturn.\n\nSome creatures are token creatures, which are not cards kept in the deck but are generated\nthrough game effects. These creatures enter the battlefield like normal creatures, but they\nare exiled from the game after they die.\n\nArtifacts and Enchantments\n\nArtifacts are permanents with useful abilities and are usually colorless. Some artifacts are\nequipment, permanents that can attach to creatures and arm them with new abilities.\nEnchantments are similar to artifacts except that they are usually colored and have static\nabilities instead of activated abilities. Aura enchantments are enchantment spells that attach\nto and empower creatures and other permanents Planeswalkers Planeswalkers, too, are powerful permanents. They enter the battlefield with a set amount of loyalty counters, and those counters are used to activate planeswalker abilities. They are not creatures and cannot attack, but players may attack planeswalkers instead of players \u30fb When a creature would deal damage to a planeswalker, it instead removes loyalty counters equal to the damage dealt\u30fb Finally, any damage dealt to a player through spells or abilities an opponent controls may be redirected to the planeswalker. When a planeswalker has run dry of loyalty counters, they flee to the graveyard\u30fb Sorceries and Instants Some magical spells are not permanents and go straight to the graveyard after resolution. Sorcery and instant spells follow these rules. Sorcery spells may only be cast on the controlling playefs main phase, but instant spells may be cast at any time, with few exceptions. Being able to cast spells instantly adds an element of wit to the game that always keeps players in suspense of their opponent's hands. The Stack The way that spells and abilities resolve when there are multiple actions happening at once is handled by the stack\u30fb Two things happen when an action is put onto the stack: the spell is cast (or the ability is activated), then the action is resolved, which means that the action takes effect in the game \u30fb When a spell is cast or an ability is activated, players get a chance to respond with their own spells or abilities. The stack follows a First-In \/ Last-Out procedure, meaning that objects resolve in order from the top of the stack until the original object has finally resolved\u30fb \n\nmagic the gathering proxies\nmtg proxy\nproxy mtg cards.\nemail ProxyKingmtg@outlook.com<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Before one can get to the battlefield, one must know how to evoke their magical powers \u30fb There are many types of cards in Magic, the most important being lands and spells.
