Masters Gaming Network (MGN) is an independent platform built for Magic: The Gathering players, collectors, deck builders, creators, and fans.
MGN combines practical deck-building, collection, and card-scanning tools with ways to playtest decks, play against other members, watch MGN TV, buy random physical card rips from MGN's real selling inventory, learn the game, and connect with the community.
The MGN Deck Builder is at the center of the platform. Players can search the card database, scan physical cards, build and manage decks, organize their collection and wishlist, discover public decks, and use MGN Playtest to test decks before playing them elsewhere.
MGN is independently developed and operated and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Wizards of the Coast.

Rip / Ship turns MGN's real selling inventory into a live experience. The exact physical cards in your rip are randomly pulled and reserved for you the moment your payment is verified server-side — no one else can receive them, and a rip is final once it opens: there are no rerolls.
- 1.MGN scans real cards into its physical selling inventory.
- 2.You choose an available rip — random, or a color or creature preference.
- 3.You purchase your rip through a secure one-time checkout.
- 4.You open the MGN virtual pack for the reveal.
- 5.The server has already pulled and reserved your exact physical cards.
- 6.You choose for each card: Save to My Vault, Ship to Me, or Sell Back for 80% MGN Store Credit.
The MGN Vault holds real physical cards you own that MGN keeps securely for you — visible only to you in the private Vault area of your MGN account. It is completely separate from My Collection, your normal collection tracking: the two are never mixed.
MGN Store Credit is account credit, not a cash refund — sell-backs pay 80% of market value at reveal time, and your balance and full transaction history are shown with your Vault.
MGN Playtest lets you practice with and evaluate decks using the MGN gameplay engine — against a computer-controlled opponent, a second player sharing your device (Hot Seat), another member in real time (Online PvP), or through free open Public Games that anyone can watch in Observe mode.
Playtest is a development and testing tool. MGN's gameplay and rules systems continue to be developed and expanded — Magic contains a very large number of cards and interactions, so some cards or mechanics may have partial or limited automated support.
Matches can be launched from My Decks, Public Decks, Compare Decks, or Play Now. Draw Test is also available as a quick opening-hand utility, and the in-match Game Log can be downloaded to share a match report.
MGN TV is MGN's community TV hub — open whenever you visit, whether anyone is live or not. Watch the official MGN Whatnot broadcast, follow live MGN public matches free, and discover MGN Pro creators' channels: each creator's public streaming and social links in one place, with a manual LIVE status and a red LIVE dot while they're streaming.
Two separate chats keep conversation in the right place. The MGN TV Global Chat is the general room for everyone hanging out in MGN TV — it updates live, keeps a recent message history, and is free for every member to read, with posting for MGN Pro members, Admins, and Moderators. Each creator's own Live Chat runs attached to their live session and its history is preserved with that session.
The global MGN LIVE indicator in the header marks the official MGN Whatnot broadcast and always links to MGN TV — it is completely separate from individual creators' LIVE dots.
