Magic: The Gathering (CCG)

Magic: The Gathering was featured in the Season Eighteen episode, "Cock Magic". The card game was invented Richard Garfield and was first released in 1993.

Background
Kenny McCormick becomes a Magic the Gathering player at a local hobby store playing and winning against the champion known as "Slaughterhouse". Cartman excitedly talks about the previous nights match in the hallway and School janitor named Mitchell invites the boys to an underground tournament where Roosters aka Cocks battle using MtG cards. Later at a McDonald's, Kenny expresses his dismay of using roosters to play a game he enjoys. The boys decide to pick out a rooster of their own for cock magic battles at a local farm. They pick one and name him McNugget's, after the breaded chicken item at McDonald's restaurants. During the first match McNugget's wins against Rueben at the City Wok. A promoter encourages the boys to try and play at the Panda Express. Here McNugget's is replaced by Kenny, who is winning against Gadnuk: Breaker of Worlds, until the South Park Police break up the event.

Meanwhile, Detective Harrison Yates of the SPPD, is trying to shut down the cock magic fights due to it being cruel to animals and illegal gambling.

Rules
The rules are very basic but the strategy can become complicated due to the many thousands of cards in existence. Two or more players use a personalized deck of 60 cards and take turns casting spells and creatures using "land" cards also known as "mana". The mana is used as a "casting cost" of the attacking creature cards. Spell cards known as "Instants" can change the rules of the game cause effects to either player, directly or indirectly. Each player starts with 20 points and the goal is to decrease the opponents points down to to zero. First player who reaches zero loses the match. Usually the best our three matches wins the round.
