Cryptic are making an Magic: The Gathering RPG

Cryptic Studios, the creators of superhero MMORPG City of Heroes, are making a RPG based on Wizards of the Coasts’ mega-hit collectible card game Magic: The Gathering.

Magic: The Gathering’s setup is that hugely powerful wizards, who have the ability to step across the planes of the metaverse, are throwing down.

Sid Meier and MicroProse released a Magic sorta-action-RPG in 1997, embedding actual Magic card battles into a 2D open-world with some boring story about wizards.
