Magic: The Gathering teaches two very important skills for a child’s development: Creative practice and critical thinking. Playing the game encourages outside-the-box thinking in order to uncover different methods and endless styles of play. This unrestricted style of game play gives players the freedom to set their own game pace and use any card deck of choice.

When playing Magic: The Gathering, players have the option to build and customize their own deck of cards according to personal taste and strategic preference. Adding cards to a deck requires a critical analysis of each card. Preferences, features, and intended function are all things that must be taken into consideration before the card is added. Players must create a strategic plan to play the game in order to win. Plans are created through trial and error, analyzing past experiences, and visualization. The nature of the game requires players to expect the unexpected and be able to prepare for any number of unforeseen challenges. Progressing through the game of Magic requires critical thinking skills, memorization, and creative problem-solving in order to win. Since each player’s deck is highly personalized, the game is heavily influenced by what each deck looks like and how players have chosen them to function. The unpredictability of so many factors that go into play creates unexpected obstacles that must be solved creatively.

Creating cards and building strategy will encourage players to stretch their imagination past the confines of the real world — this is what sets playing fantasy games like Magic: The Gathering apart. Practicing critical thinking and creative problem-solving are especially beneficial for children, and developing these skills in play empowers them to use them in other ways that reach far beyond a game.
