Awards Page

This page is dedicated to one of the most essential, yet diminishing, elements of Magic: The Gathering: the magic. In the beginning of the game, every card had a enthralling mystical quality to it. Now the game is polluted with cards like Bouncing Beebles and Giant Cockroach. The cards below are being honored for their pictures, flavor text, and overall quality. These awards will change from time to time. You can look up the cards in the encyclopedia to see them in full. Want to see a complete record of the awards, including illustrators and colors?
