This booklet is designed for people who’ve moved beyond the basics of the Magic: The Gathering ® game. If you’re a beginning Magic ™ player, you’ll probably find these rules intimidating. They’re intended to be the ultimate authority for the game, and you won’t usually need to refer to them except in specific cases or during competitive games. For casual play and most ordinary situations, you’ll find what you need in the general rulebook included in the Magic: The Gathering core game. You can download a copy of that rulebook from the Wizards of the Coast™ Magic rules website at www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=magic/rules . If you’re sure this is where you want to be, keep reading.
