The Magic: the Gathering Iceberg Explained


If you are not familiar with the concept of an iceberg, it's simply a way to organize information. At the top of the iceberg - above the water - you'll find common topics that most Magic players will know but as we progress through the levels, deeper and deeper under the water, the topics become more obscure and less well known. Our goal today is simple: explain every topic on the Magic: the Gathering iceberg. The iceberg itself was originally published on Reddit, although the rest of the Goldfish crew made some updates. How far down the iceberg can you make it? Give it a try and when you get stuck I'll be there with a full explanation!
