Platforms

The original digital version of Magic: The Gathering, where digital cards can be bought and traded and are used in online tournaments.

Some competitive events are played on Magic Online rather than in paper.

Wizards of the Coast's official free-to-play digital client for Magic, supporting Standard, Historic/Explorer, and Limited play with its own economy separate from paper card collections.

Physical, printed Magic cards played at a table, as distinct from digital clients like MTG Arena. Paper is where the secondary market, local game stores, and most Commander play still live.
