The official servers were shut down on October 31, 2021. Magic: Legends was an action role-playing game (RPG) similar to Diablo, where the player directs their character by pointing and clicking to locations on screen to either move, attack opponents, or use special abilities as they complete missions. In following the Magic: The Gathering (MTG) canon, each player takes the role of a new Planeswalker, one gifted in the ability to draw mana from the lands to cast spells, and to travel between worlds of the multiverse. Initially the player selects a Planeswalker type based on the five schools or colors of magic from MTG, which also describes their base attack and abilities. As the player-character grows, they gain spell cards that define additional abilities or can summon creatures to help fight; these cards are based on actual cards from MTG.
