Excellent choice! With more than 30 years of history and a global community of millions of players, Magic offers unmatched strategic depth.<\/p>\n\n<p>But where do you begin when discovering a game with <strong>more than 27,000 different cards<\/strong>? This guide walks you through every step, from your first purchase to your first game.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What is Magic: The Gathering?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Magic: The Gathering (MTG) is a <strong>trading card game (TCG)<\/strong> created by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast since 1993. It is the very first TCG in history \u2014 the one that invented the genre.<\/p>\n\n<h3>How the game works<\/h3>\n\n<p>Two players (or more) face off with decks of cards they have built. Each player starts with <strong>20 life points<\/strong> and the goal is to reduce the opponent's life points to zero.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Card types:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lands<\/strong>: Produce mana, the resource used to play your other cards<\/li>\n<li><strong>Creatures<\/strong>: Attack and defend<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spells<\/strong>: One-time effects (sorceries) or instant effects<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enchantments<\/strong>: Permanent effects on the game<\/li>\n<li><strong>Artifacts<\/strong>: Magical objects with various effects<\/li>\n<li><strong>Planeswalkers<\/strong>: Powerful allies with multiple abilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>The 5 colors of mana<\/h3>\n\n<p>Magic uses a system of <strong>5 colors<\/strong>, each with its own philosophy and play style:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>White (W)<\/strong>: Order, protection, creatures in numbers, life gain<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blue (U)<\/strong>: Knowledge, control, counterspells, card draw<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black (B)<\/strong>: Power, death, destruction, sacrifice for advantage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red (R)<\/strong>: Chaos, fire, aggression, direct damage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green (G)<\/strong>: Nature, growth, big creatures, mana acceleration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Decks can be mono-color or combine several colors to benefit from their synergies.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Where to start: products for beginners<\/h2>\n\n<p>Wizards of the Coast offers several products designed specifically for new players. The <a href=\"\/produit\/starter-kit-magic-the-gathering-boite-dapprentissage-fondations\/\">Starter Kit Foundations<\/a> is our current recommendation.<\/p>\n\n<h3>The Starter Kit (recommended)<\/h3>\n\n<p>This is <strong>THE ideal product for two beginners<\/strong>. The Starter Kit contains:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 ready-to-play 60-card decks<\/li>\n<li>2 exclusive foil cards<\/li>\n<li>A learning guide<\/li>\n<li>A code for MTG Arena (digital version)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> Around 15-20\u20ac<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why it's ideal:<\/strong> You can play immediately with a friend or family. The decks are balanced against each other.<\/p>\n\n<!-- mizou_products: no products matched -->\n\n<h3>Jumpstart Boosters<\/h3>\n\n<p>A fun alternative: <strong>Jumpstart Boosters<\/strong> each contain a themed half-deck of 20 cards. Shuffle 2 boosters together = 1 playable 40-card deck!<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Discover different themes and mechanics<\/li>\n<li>Replayability: every combination gives a different deck<\/li>\n<li>No need to know deck-building rules<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Commander Decks (for later)<\/h3>\n\n<p>The <strong>Commander<\/strong> format is the most popular in Magic, but wait until you understand the basics before diving in. <a href=\"\/decks-commander-magic\/\">Pre-built Commander decks<\/a> are excellent but contain more complex mechanics.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Learning the rules<\/h2>\n\n<p>Magic may seem complex at first, but the <strong>basic rules<\/strong> can be learned in an hour.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Free resources to learn<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>MTG Arena<\/strong> (free): The official video game with an excellent interactive tutorial<\/li>\n<li><strong>Official basic rules<\/strong>: On the Wizards of the Coast website<\/li>\n<li><strong>YouTube<\/strong>: Many content creators explain the rules<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your local game store<\/strong>: Game shops often organize introductory events<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>How a turn works<\/h3>\n\n<p>Each turn unfolds in <strong>phases<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Untap<\/strong>: Untap your tapped cards<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upkeep<\/strong>: Certain effects trigger<\/li>\n<li><strong>Draw<\/strong>: Draw a card<\/li>\n<li><strong>Main Phase 1<\/strong>: Play lands, creatures, spells<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combat<\/strong>: Attack with your creatures<\/li>\n<li><strong>Main Phase 2<\/strong>: Continue playing cards<\/li>\n<li><strong>End Step<\/strong>: Discard if you have more than 7 cards<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>The best way is to <strong>play a few games<\/strong> to internalize these phases naturally.<\/p>\n\n<h2>The different game formats<\/h2>\n\n<p>Magic offers several ways to play, called <strong>formats<\/strong>. Each format has its own deck construction rules.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Formats for beginners<\/h3>\n\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Format<\/th>\n<th>Deck size<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Standard<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>60 cards<\/td>\n<td>Cards from the last 2-3 years only<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Jumpstart<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>40 cards<\/td>\n<td>2 Jumpstart boosters shuffled together<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Commander<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>100 cards<\/td>\n<td>Very popular casual multiplayer format<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h3>Limited formats (with boosters)<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Draft<\/strong>: Each player opens 3 boosters and picks cards in turn<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sealed<\/strong>: Each player builds a deck from 6 boosters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>These formats are excellent for playing with new cards without an existing collection.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Building your first deck<\/h2>\n\n<p>Once you have the basics down, you will want to build your own deck. Here are the fundamental rules.<\/p>\n\n<h3>The 60-card rule<\/h3>\n\n<p>A Standard deck contains <strong>a minimum of 60 cards<\/strong>. In practice, stay at exactly 60 to maximize your chances of drawing your best cards.<\/p>\n\n<h3>The recommended basic structure<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>24 lands<\/strong>: The mana base (adjust according to your curve)<\/li>\n<li><strong>24-28 creatures<\/strong>: Your fighting force<\/li>\n<li><strong>8-12 spells<\/strong>: Support, removal, card draw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>The mana curve<\/h3>\n\n<p>Distribute your cards by <strong>mana cost<\/strong> to have options on every turn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A few 1-mana cards<\/li>\n<li>More 2-3 mana cards (the core of your deck)<\/li>\n<li>A few powerful 4-5+ mana cards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Protecting your cards from day one<\/h2>\n\n<p>Magic cards can gain value. <strong>Protect them from the start<\/strong> with <a href=\"\/sleeves-magic-the-gathering\/\">sleeves<\/a> (card protectors).<\/p>\n\n<h3>Why sleeve your cards?<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Protection against scratches and wear<\/li>\n<li>Better deck shuffling<\/li>\n<li>Preserving card value<\/li>\n<li>Hygiene (no direct contact with hands)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Sleeves for beginners<\/h3>\n\n<p>For a first deck, <strong>basic sleeves<\/strong> are sufficient. Budget 1.50\u20ac to 3\u20ac for 100 sleeves. Later, you can invest in premium sleeves \u2014 see our <a href=\"\/guides\/comparatif-sleeves-dragon-shield-ultra-pro-kmc\/\">Dragon Shield vs Ultra Pro vs KMC comparison<\/a> to choose.<\/p>\n\n<style id=\"mizou-lt-products-inline-css\">.mizou-lt-products-grid{margin:32px 0;}.mizou-lt-products-title{margin:0 0 16px;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:700;}.mizou-lt-products-inner{display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(auto-fit,minmax(200px,1fr));gap:16px;margin:20px 0;}.mizou-lt-product-card{display:flex;flex-direction:column;background:#fff;border:1px solid #f0f0f0;border-radius:10px;padding:14px;text-decoration:none!important;color:inherit!important;transition:all .2s;overflow:hidden;}.mizou-lt-product-card:hover{transform:translateY(-3px);box-shadow:0 8px 20px rgba(0,0,0,.08);border-color:#ffd0a8;}.mizou-lt-product-card.is-oos{opacity:.5;}.mizou-lt-product-image{position:relative;aspect-ratio:1;background:#f9f9f9;border-radius:8px;overflow:hidden;margin-bottom:12px;}.mizou-lt-product-image img{width:100%!important;height:100%!important;object-fit:cover;display:block;}.mizou-lt-product-badge{position:absolute;top:8px;left:8px;background:#dc2626;color:#fff;padding:3px 10px;border-radius:4px;font-size:11px;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.5px;}.mizou-lt-product-body{display:flex;flex-direction:column;gap:6px;}.mizou-lt-product-title{font-size:13.5px!important;line-height:1.35!important;color:#1a1a1a!important;font-weight:600!important;display:block;}.mizou-lt-product-price{font-size:16px!important;color:#ff7a18!important;font-weight:700!important;}<\/style><div class=\"mizou-lt-products-grid\" data-cols=\"4\"><h3 class=\"mizou-lt-products-title\">Our sleeves to protect your cards<\/h3><div class=\"mizou-lt-products-inner\"><a class=\"mizou-lt-product-card\" href=\"https:\/\/mizoutcg.fr\/en\/produit\/sleeves-konix-premium-transparent-100\/\"><div class=\"mizou-lt-product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/mizoutcg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/sleeves-konix-premium-transparent-100-300x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sleeves Konix Premium Transparent, boite de 100 protege-cartes clairs epais pour cartes TCG 66x91mm\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mizoutcg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/sleeves-konix-premium-transparent-100-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mizoutcg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/sleeves-konix-premium-transparent-100-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/mizoutcg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/sleeves-konix-premium-transparent-100-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/mizoutcg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/sleeves-konix-premium-transparent-100-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/mizoutcg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/sleeves-konix-premium-transparent-100-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/mizoutcg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/sleeves-konix-premium-transparent-100-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/mizoutcg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/sleeves-konix-premium-transparent-100.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"mizou-lt-product-body\"><strong class=\"mizou-lt-product-title\">Sleeves Konix Premium Transparent -

If you still want to open boosters, check our guide <a href=\"\/guides\/quel-display-mtg-acheter-play-booster-vs-collector-booster\/\">Play Booster vs Collector Booster<\/a> to choose the right format.<\/p>\n\n<h2>FAQ \u2013 Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n<h3>Is Magic hard to learn?<\/h3>\n\n<p>The <strong>basic rules are simple<\/strong> and can be learned in 1-2 hours. The complexity comes from the diversity of cards and their interactions. The MTG Arena tutorial is excellent for easing in gently.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Can I play alone to start?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Yes! <strong>MTG Arena<\/strong> lets you play for free against the computer or other players online. It is perfect for learning at your own pace.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Can old cards still be played?<\/h3>\n\n<p>It depends on the format. In <strong>Standard<\/strong>, only recent cards are legal. In <strong>Commander<\/strong> or <strong>Legacy<\/strong>, almost all cards are playable. Check legality on sites like Scryfall.<\/p>\n\n<h3>How many cards do I need to buy to start?<\/h3>\n\n<p>A <strong>Starter Kit<\/strong> is enough for your first games. You do not need a collection: start small and grow gradually according to your interests.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Are boosters a good investment?<\/h3>\n\n<p>For the <strong>fun of opening<\/strong>, yes. To build a specific deck, no: buy the cards individually. Boosters are perfect for Draft or as a gift.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Which color to choose to start?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Choose the color that matches your <strong>preferred play style<\/strong>: aggressive (red), control (blue), balanced (white\/green), or devious (black). Try them all in MTG Arena to find your favorite!<\/p>\n\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n<p>Magic: The Gathering is an incredibly rich game that can accompany you for years. The key to a good start:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Start simple<\/strong>: Starter Kit or Jumpstart<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learn by playing<\/strong>: MTG Arena or with friends<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protect your cards<\/strong>: Sleeves from day one<\/li>\n<li><strong>Join the community<\/strong>: Local game stores, Discord, forums<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Welcome to the world of Magic!
