Magic: The Gathering (or MTG as it's informally known) was the first CCG or collectable card game. It is a game generally played with a 60-card deck. There are five colors of magic - White, Blue, Black, Red, and Green. You can play anywhere between one and five colors in your deck, so you can build whatever unique deck you want. In MTG you cast spells by playing land, and the more land you have the bigger spells you can cast, from small creatures to spells that outright win the game.
In magic, every game is different, as you can have a maximum of four copies of each card in your deck, not counting basic lands. This means that your amazing, game-wining combination of cards (or combo) might only happen once or twice every five games, making sure that each game is non-repetitive and enjoyable for all!
And finally, there are many different ways to play. As mentioned earlier, MTG is generally played with a 60-card deck but there are many different deck sizes, from 40 cards, all the way to 100 cards. Some of the most popular ways of playing Magic are standard, where the only legal cards are ones released in the past two years. Commander, a singleton format where you can only play only one of each card, where you have a 100 card deck, and a commander which you can always play from the Command Zone, a location outside the game.
There are also many different youtube channels online where people play MTG which can help you get better and understand some of the more complex mechanics.
