What is a collectible card game?
A collectible card game is one where you build a deck from cards you collect, often from random booster packs, and play it against others.

How it works
New card sets come out regularly. You get cards from packs, by earning them or by crafting them, then build a deck within the format's rules. Packs are a kind of loot box, so their drop rates decide what a full set costs.
In the games we track
- Magic: The Gathering Arena: the digital version of Magic, free to play, with booster packs.
