 Magic: The Gathering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a game of Magic, two players are engaged in a duel.
In the "Pauper's Deck" or "Peasant Magic" variants, the more powerful rare cards are not allowed, and players must construct decks using only the more commonly available cards as a way of balancing the games for players on a budget.
The game has an official tournament system, in which the game is played for cash and scholarship prizes.

Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planewalkers by Atari
Magic: The Gathering, based on Wizards of the Coast's popular trading card game of the same name, is now an interactive computer game.
This game is a good introduction to the game Magic, especially for people who can't find others to play the TCG with, but it is very dated: Graphics are only 256 colors and the game is *full* of glitches, at least if you run it on Windows 95 or higher.

 Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds Review for Xbox - Gaming Age
It took guts to use the Magic: The Gathering name on a game that shows little similarity to the turn based rules, but just like the broken Yu-Gi-Oh video games that stray from the card game, they should stick with what we know works.
That being said, Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds isn't really a card game at all.
I don't care if it's played with real cards or in a video game, there's something about the strategy that draws me in.

 Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games: Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds (Xbox)
Magic: the gathering battlegrounds is nothing like the turn-based game that I expected with a 'Magic the gathering' game.
However, this has been a unsuccessful try to make the higly-successful Magic the gathering game into a video game.
I also should point out that although I have heard of the Magic the Gathering series I have never played the card game.

 Magic: the Gathering
I play magic the gathering not because of the evil demon dead bad kill everyone black minions, but because it is strategy and I love strategy.
You must be open minded to play magic because there are over 1500 cards for your opponent to play, so you must consider each move careful, partly because most cards bend or break the rules.
I also think that saying that magic's rules turn kids into automatons (yes i know what that means) is unfair.

 Magic the Gathering - decks, reviews and books for casual MtG players
Although most Magic players want at least one of each card in existence and four of each playable one, not all players have succumbed to the collectibility of the game.
One of the decks is designed by Jon Finkel, a well-known Magic player and the other by Richard Garfield, one of the game's designers.
Casual Magic the Gathering is dedicated to the casual play of Magic the Gathering.

 Magic the Gathering Zone's Beginner's Section > Magic 101
At the same time, a Magic player typically requires some experience with the game and some understanding of the most basic rules: tapping lands for mana, the one land per turn limitation, and so on, in order to even think about building a deck.
The basic rules of the game of Magic require that you create mana and then use that mana to cast a spell or power an effect.
Although Limited play, such as sealed deck, booster draft, and so on, have gained in popularity over the recent years, the very basics of the game involve a deck that a player has built and tuned.

 News: E3 Trailer: Magic The Gathering Battlegrounds - GamersHell.com
Just as in the "Magic®" card game, in "Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds" players will choose a duelist and up to two of "Magic's" five colors -- red, green, white, blue, and black -- to attempt to reduce their opponent's life to zero.
Upon defeating these opponents, players can gain access to these new spells and creatures; the enemy duelist becomes playable within the game; and, the player can select from various clothing and other accoutrements, allowing players to customize the look of their chosen duelist.
Currently in development by Secret Level, "Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds" is filled with faithful translations of classic creatures, spells and enchantments from the premier trading card game in a visually stunning 3D game environment rife with real-time strategic fighting, devastating wizard arsenals and intense creature combat.

 USATODAY.com - Magic the Gathering casts its spell
Richard Garfield, who created the game while a grad student at the University of Pennsylvania, says Magic allows players to "in some sense design games themselves." New types of cards are issued every year, and more than 6,000 cards are now in circulation, making for an enormous variety of ways to construct decks.
Eleven years after its introduction by a Seattle-area company, Wizards of the Coast, Magic is the most successful game most Americans have never heard of — unless their children have come under its spell.
The object of the game is to take away your opponent's lives before you lose yours.

 IGN: Magic: The Gathering Battlegrounds Review
The interface is very much like a fighting game, or better yet, a volleyball title with the two combatants facing each other and a dividing line between their two halves of the battleground.
We're not huge fans of the card game, but we suspect much of the depth and detail of Magic the Gathering beyond the basic magic systems had to be sacrifice or streamlined to keep the action fast paced.
The system is setup around your ability to collect magic in the form of shards and crystals during the heat of battle to spend on the various spells that you'll be unlocking as you make your way through the solo Quest mode.

Very interesting book and I recommend it for Magic: The Gathering fans and those who have never played the game.

 GameSpy: Magic: The Gathering Battlegrounds Review
Magic: The Gathering -- Battlegrounds is wonderful because it doesn't try to simulate the revolutionary decade-old CCG; instead, it uses the CCG's rules as the framework for a great video game.
For example: Each duel takes place on a rectangular field, with a magical boundary down the middle that keeps each duelist on his or her side of the field.
I love Battlegrounds for the same reason I love arcade-style sports games; it exploits the aspects of its source material that make for great design, and throws the rest out.
