Wizards of the Coast's mega-popular trading card game Magic: The Gathering is turning 30 years old in 2023, and to celebrate this momentous occasion WOTC is releasing an extra-special exclusive product: Magic 30th Anniversary Edition. Here are all the details on it.
For those new to Magic the game's age might come as some surprise: It was first developed in the early 1990s by University of Pennsylvania PhD student Richard Garfield, now known for a number of famous card and board games like Netrunner, Robo Rally, Keyforge and Valve's Artifact. It became an instant hit and evolved into the game it is today.
