MTG Card Types

Creatures are permanents that attack, block, and form the backbone of most MTG strategies.

Legendary permanents follow the legend rule — you can only control one copy of each at a time.

Instants can be cast at any time, including during your opponent's turn, giving you reactive options.

Artifacts are colorless permanents representing magical items, equipment, and constructs.

Enchantments are permanents with lasting magical effects that persist on the battlefield.

Sorceries are powerful one-time spells that can only be cast during your main phase.

Lands produce mana — the fundamental resource used to cast all other spells in Magic.

Planeswalkers are powerful allies with loyalty abilities that can turn the tide of battle.

Snow permanents interact with snow mana and enable powerful synergies in snow-themed decks.

Kindred cards share creature subtypes without being creatures themselves, enabling tribal synergies.

Battles are a card type introduced in March of the Machine that both players can interact with.
