Magic: The Gathering (MTG) is a world of Magic, fantasy and powerful wizards. It started as a tabletop collectable card game in the mid-90s and was released by Wizards of the Coast. Yes, the same company behind the cult classic Dungeons & Dragons and our favourite Pokemon Card games. MTG Arena was the first popular tabletop card game released by Wizards of the Coast.
The game took heavy inspiration from the already popular Dungeons & Dragons. The game has a huge fan following and a strong player base. Even though it started as a tabletop collectable card game (which is still played by the way), it has also released three digital games which can be played online. The digital games are Magic: The Gathering Arena, Magic: The Gathering Online and Magic Duels.
All three games can be played on computers, smartphones and tablets. The introduction to the online platform has further boosted the game’s popularity. Today, I’ll talk about the Tier list of MTG Arena Deck for 2023. The deck has a wide range of unique cards and great archetypes. Let’s now take a look at the Tier list curated for you.
