Magic: The Gathering is a fantasy trading card game from Wizards of the Coast that has been in continuous production for over 25 years. You can check out the official website for more information on the franchise as a whole, including articles on game design, strategy, and lore.
The game is played in a variety of formats, from those that can include nearly every card ever printed, to formats that only use sealed product for deck building, to formats that only use common cards. You can find information about all of the official formats here, and both a quick-start guide and the comprehensive rules here.
Here’s a quick rundown of the supported formats:
Vintage – You can play nearly any card ever made, supes expensive
Legacy – You can play most cards ever made, supes expensive
Modern – Play cards from 8th edition and the first robot set, just kind of expensive
Historic - Arena only, not actually mentioned on Wizards website as a format
Pioneer – Play cards from Ravnica (Return to) forward
Standard – Type 2
Brawl – Standard and Commander bumped uglies and made this
Commander – A format of dragons and highlanders
Pauper – Format of the commons
There are also tons of unofficial formats that are supported by communities both online and at your local gaming store.
Arena is the latest digital version of the game, utilizing a free-to-play model and currently supporting the Standard, Historic, and Brawl format and current limited formats, as well as some occasional digital-only formats/oddballs. You can download the game here.
Magic Online is the original digital Magic platform and is still the primary official way to play non-Standard constructed formats online. They also run cube and chaos drafts on MTGO. It looks like an orcs butt, but it gives you the Magic experience. You can download the client here.
If you're interested in competitive play, you can find information on the various levels of paper competitive play here. In addition to Wizards' own high-level tournaments, Star City Games runs their own national tournament series with large monetary prizes and Invitational, you can find information on their tournaments here.
The most recent set is Strixhaven. A lot of people think this set is about Harry Potter because they don't read or understand wizard school tropes in fiction.
Some other resources:
TCGPlayer.com can help you find the market values of cards before you make a purchase or trade. They also have an iPhone/Android app that allows you to scan cards and find their value/catalog them.
MTG Goldfish also has a price tracker feature with graphs, as well as articles on the game.
Gatherer is the official card search engine from WotC, featuring up-to-date oracle text, errata, format legality, and important rulings for every elk in the game.
Channel Fireball has a lot of articles on magic, but you have to pay for them.

Magic Online - Bertro
This guy is pretty obviously part of an Elf (or Warrior? hard time seeing Warriors in BG) deck. Kind of a different niche. If Elves are a thing in standard this might be a slot filler?

So the Spring 2022 set will presumably be the last of this little reprieve we've enjoyed between major storyarcs.
I like the one (or maybe it was reddit) about how FlipJace is terrible and clearly the worst of the Flipwalkers.
Egon's gonna have a death-hottie-off with Thanatos from Hades
Odin's beard, that's the common black removal spell?!
This card is great for rogue mirrors
Ixalan was the last time we had one.
At common?
Ohshit
Double color keeps it from being an easy splash at least. But that's a solid no button for limited.

these Ravenous Rats can join your party!
(and they're elves)
Oh dang
3 cost vehicle, crew 3, 4/4. When ~ attacks, look at the top card of your library. If it's a land card, you may put it onto the battlefield tapped.
0/6 Ox for 1W. Butt Crew (the ox can crew vehicles with its toughness instead of power).
Big steppy
EDIT: For end-of-game expediency, maybe? Just flip up all your remaining facedowns to show they have marks?
I appreciate that the Foretell+cast cost is the same as just playing it, so the mind games begin immediately on your opponent's turn.

Just remember that a card foretold this turn can't also be cast in the same rurn. This is better defensively unless you're going deep on the psych-out.
Well, the idea being that if I want to foretell some big creature for next turn, leave one green open and make them think it might be a combat trick.
Or, actually do foretell this combat trick and bait them into calling my bluff.
I mean, it'll probably kill a creature of theirs if they call the bluff, but if they don't now you have this sitting out there on future attacks for whatever isn't blocked.

Makes me want to make a deck with that God of the Cosmos chap although I feel like he is pretty bad for 5 mana
The effect plays nice with graveyard shenanigans, so I could see it showing up in Commander decks at some level, and of course it's good in limited. But.
