If there is one card game that has withstood the test of time in the nerd world, it is Magic, The Gathering (or MTG) for short. This amazing and complicated card game has been around since before we were born and has survived long after we stopped playing, but we look back on our teenage years, playing MTG with our friends fondly. With a world full of elaborate lore and constantly evolving strategy, this game will go down in history as one of the best card games of all time. On top of that, it has some pretty funny MTG memes too!

Only true fans of the game will understand most of these hilarious card-game memes, but the wizards that get it, get it. From not having enough mana to blue decks ruining your whole game, these memes pack a nasty punch of hilarity and giggles all around. Scroll down to read through them for yourself and dive back into a world full of nostalgia!
