Horde Magic is a casual format of gameplay for Magic: The Gathering that can be played with up to four players working together to defeat the onslaught of a common enemy. Horde Magic is also one of the few formats of the game that a single player can conceivably play on their own – something most formats aren’t built to do in Magic: The Gathering!

Horde Magic was initially conceived by Peter Knudson in 2011. Once we began playing this innovative format, tweaking rules and Horde decks through our extensive, passionate play, it became a mainstay in our weekly indulgence of MTG play!

Check out our rendition of basic Horde Magic Rules to get familiar with this amazingly fun format and then, when you’re ready to take the plunge, dive into the various Horde Decks we’ve constructed and showcase on our site (some even complete with thematic companion decks!) to play on your own, use a schematics to build your own variant, or simply get inspired to make a unique Horde deck on your own!
