Horde Magic: A Unique Magic: The Gathering Format

Horde Magic is an exciting, cooperative format for Magic: The Gathering where up to four players team up to battle an unstoppable, AI-controlled enemy. Unlike most formats of Magic: The Gathering, Horde Magic can also be played solo—offering a thrilling way to enjoy MTG on your own!

Originally conceived by Peter Knudson in 2011, Horde Magic has evolved through years of our passionate play and deck refinement. Today, it’s one of our favorite Magic: The Gathering experiences!

Get started with our Horde Magic Rules, then explore our collection of custom-built Horde decks—some even featuring thematic companion decks! Whether you’re playing solo or with friends, you can use our deck schematics to build your own or get inspired to create a unique Horde Magic challenge.
