About
Magic: The Gathering is a strategic collectible card game where players construct decks of at least 60 cards to compete in high-level tournaments, such as the Pro Tour and qualifying events like the MTG China Open. This dataset details the composition of a winning "Azorius Control" archetype deck from June 2023. It offers a granular view of the deckbuilding process, capturing essential gameplay mechanics including mana costs, card types (such as Lands, Instants, and Sorceries), and specific card text abilities like "Cycling" or "Channel". Beyond gameplay mechanics, the data includes financial attributes, tracking the market price of individual cards in both EUR and USD, making it valuable for economic analysis of the competitive gaming landscape.
