Cards are acquired from [[Card packspack]]s. New [[#Card sets|sets of cards]] are continuously released, opening up new strategies, synergies, and [[Abilities|game mechanics]] for players who acquire them in [[Card pack]]s or as [[Portal:Events|Event]] rewards. [[#Packs and releases|New cards are continually released ]] in Card setsat a rate of approximately five or six per year.
==Card setstypes==Cards come in three types: Creature, Spell, and Support.

Cards may have a [[Color]], sometimes more than one, or they may be colorless. Each [[Planeswalkers|Planeswalker]] has affinity for one or more colors, and may only use a deck comprising cards of those colors, or colorless cards.
Cards often have [[Abilities]] which appear on multiple cards. Cards may also have unique effects, described in the card text.
==During the game==
During play, cards are drawn from your library, which is formed from unlimited copies of the 10 cards in your deck. One card is automatically drawn each turn, and some cards have abilities which allow extra cards tobe drawn.
[[Mana]] generated by matching gems is added to the cards in your hand, starting from the top. Cards have a casting cost, which is an amount of mana required to play the card. After you make a match, any cards whose casting cost is fully paid may be played.
== Card Sets ==
Sets are almost always accompanied by the release of new [[Planeswalkers]] and often by new [[Events]]. They usually feature new card mechanics, known as [[Abilities]].
The likely contents of [[Card pack|Booster pack]]s of sets will not only differ by their particular cards, but in the case of [[Elite packs]], by the [[Card_pack#Booster_packs_by_set|probability of a given rarity appearing]].
Although the in-game card list shows only the set icons, the written name of the set can be deduced from the close-up view of an individual card. This "Card Finder" has a search button on the bottom that shows where the card can be obtained, and thus what set it comes from, written out in full.
===Standard sets===
Cards in [[Standard]] card sets may be used in [[Standard Format]] or [[Legacy Format]] [[Events]].

===Legacy sets===
Cards in these [[Legacy]] card sets may only be used in [[Legacy Format]] [[Events]].{| class="wikitable"{{Set-Details-Compact|id = 2|name = Battle for Zendikar|abbr = BFZ|date = Apr 2016|version = 1.4|notes = https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/43074/patch-notes-v1-4-0-4-21-16|mechanics = Rally,Converge,Awaken,Ingest,Process,Devoid,Landfall|cards_total = 238|cards_mp = 0|cards_m = 24|cards_r = 42|cards_u = 75|cards_c = 97Legacy card sets}}{{Set-Details-Compact|id = 3|name = Oath of the Gatewatch|abbr = OGW|date Packs and releases = Jun 2016|version = 1.5|notes = https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/46729/patch-notes-v1-5-0-06-28-16''See [[Card pack#Packs and sets|mechanics =Packs and sets]]''|cards_total = 53|cards_mp = 0|cards_m = 12|cards_r = 18|cards_u Hibernum expansions = 23|cards_c = 0}}{{Set-Details-Compact|id = 4|name = Shadows over Innistrad|abbr = SOI|date = Aug 2016|version = 1.6|notes = https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/48580/mtgpq-v1-6-release-notes-8-11-16|mechanics = DeliriumAs of October 2022,Madnessthere were 37 sets released,Investigate,Transformbut there are only 34 [[Card pack#Regular pack types|cards_total = 190|cards_mp = 0|cards_m = 21|cards_r = 35|cards_u = 58|cards_c = 76}}{{Set-Details-Compact|id = 5|name = Booster pack]]s available.
