Energy in Magic: The Gathering – A Beginner’s Guide
Energy is a unique resource in Magic: The Gathering, separate from mana. Unlike lands, which you tap and lose each turn, Energy stays with you until you spend it!
How It Works:
- Certain cards generate Energy counters (
). - You track Energy separately (using dice, digital counters, or a notepad).
- Other cards let you spend Energy for powerful effects.
While it may seem tricky at first, once you get the hang of it, Energy offers flexible and explosive plays. If you’re building an Energy deck—whether for Commander, Standard, or beyond—you’ll want a strong balance between Energy generation and Energy spenders for maximum efficiency.
