Magic: The Gathering is a collectible trading card game where two (or more) players take the roles of powerful wizards.

Each player starts the game with twenty "life points" and loses when his/her points are reduced to zero. Each player uses a deck of cards in order to cast magical spells and summon fantastic creatures that will aid him/her to achieve victory.

That describes in a simplistic way what Magic: The Gathering is. In reality the strategic depth of this game is almost unlimited.

There are thousands of different cards with a huge amount of various abilities and effects, which players can get and combine, so there is no limit in the number of possible decks that can be made. This is truly an epic game.

But enough with that. I made this lens in order to share with everyone the amazing artwork that MTG cards feature, and not to teach how to play the game (although in the end of my lens I have added links for those who want to download the official tutorial)

All the wallpapers that are shown here can also be found in the official website.
At the time this lens was created, there were over five hundreds wallpapers, so even if you don't like the ones I picked, you can check the rest and choose which ever you prefer.

So without any further ado let's begin.

Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas
Oriss, Samite Guardian
