A Note to Players of the Magic: The Gathering© Card Game
If you have played the Magic: The Gathering© card game, then you already
understand the fundamentals of mana, life points, creatures, enchantments, sorceries, and other important game rules. Although Magic: The Gathering™Battlegrounds uses many of the same game mechanics, it plays in real-time,
which fundamentally alters certain aspects of the game. Some concepts from
the card game do not translate to Battlegrounds.
In Battlegrounds:
• You do not draw and discard cards - all of your spells are available all times.
• There is no graveyard.
• Spell stacking is not applicable.
• There is no four-card limit for spells - you can cast a spell as many times
as you are able.
• You are limited to two colours per deck.
• You are limited to 10 spells per deck.
• Mana costs are different than the cards.
• Sorceries and instants are combined under sorceries.
• There are no creature enchantments.
• There are no artefacts.
• You can only have two enchantments in play at once.
• You can only have five creatures in play at once.
• You have a shield.
• You have a duellist attack.
• Creatures fight until they are dead.
• Damage is permanent.
• Some creatures block.
• The video game takes place in an arena.
• Spells are cast by picking up mana crystals not by playing Lands.
• Mana regeneration occurs over time.
• Most creatures attack, but some block. Others run to the back and perform
an ability.
• Unsummon forces creatures to respawn, not to re-summon.
• Flying creatures do not interact with ground creatures. They attack only
other flying creatures or directly to the enemy duellist.
Since the game takes place in a 3D environment, strategies that are not possible in
the card game quickly emerge and become key elements in determining victory.
These include:
• Creature placement
• Speed and timing of spells
• Timely mana collection
• Size and height of creatures
• Speed of creature
• Wizard movement

MAIN MENU
From the Main Menu, you can choose among the following options:

Editing Spellbook
The Spellbook Editor allows you to create new spellbooks or modify existing
spellbooks. The Spellbook Editor will lead you step-by-step through the creation
of a new book. The following rules apply to spellbook creation:
• Spellbooks must be either one or two colours.
• You cannot have more than ten spells in your spellbook.
• You cannot have more than nine sorceries in your spellbook.
• You cannot have more than four enchantments in your spellbook.
• You cannot have more than seven creature spells in your spellbook.
GENERAL RULES
Mana
Mana is magical energy, the firepower that allows you to cast spells. Every spell
requires a certain amount of mana to cast — more powerful spells require more
mana. As the duel progresses mana appears on the ground as crystals. Simply
run over a mana crystal to add it to your mana Bar. Picking up a mana crystal
increases the total amount of mana available to you,
but does not regenerate all of the mana in your
mana Bar. Each time you pick up a mana crystal, a
mana timer begins that determines when the next
crystal becomes available. The faster you gather
mana crystals, the faster the next one appears.
8
Mana Regeneration
Mana slowly regenerates after you cast a spell. However, there are other ways
to regenerate mana. For example, you can repeatedly tap the Y button for a
slight boost in regeneration. Also, as creatures die, they drop mana shards equal
to their casting cost. You can run over these shards to regenerate mana, but
doing so will not increase your current Mana Bar. In addition , the more mana
available in your Mana Bar, the faster it regenerates.
Some Green spells and creatures have mana-generating abilities. See “Spells reference” on page 13 for more information.
Spell Types
There are three types of spells: creature, sorcery, and enchantment.
• Creature spells summon physical beings to fight on your side against an
opposing duellist. Each creature has two statistics: power, which indicates
the amount of damage that creature deals when it attacks, and toughness, which indicates how much damage a creature can sustain before it
dies. Some creatures also have special abilities. See “Spells Reference” on
page 13 for more information.
• Sorcery spells are powerful incantations that produce a wide variety of
results. Depending on sorcery’s colour, its results can range from powerful
direct damage to creature enhancement, from regeneration to life-draining, and more. See “Spells reference” on page 13 for more information.
• Enchantments are like permanent sorcery spells that produce global
effects, such as speeding up one duellist’s creatures. Once cast, an
enchantment functions continually until it is removed by a spell. Each
duellist can have only two enchantments in play at a time.
Note: Not all of the colours of magic have enchantments.
Casting Spells
Each spell requires you to have a certain amount of mana, specified by the Mana
Bar. You can cast any spell in your spellbook at any time if you have the required
mana. Each spell category is associated with a key: 1 for creatures; 2 for sorceries; and 3 for enchantments. Pressing one of these
keys opens your spellbook and displays the spells in
that category.
Each page of your spellbook contains three spells,
which you cast by pressing the 1, 2 or 3 keys. You can
press 5 or 6 to turn a new page in your spellbook.
Press 4 to return to the Spell Casting selection.
Casting Time
The time it takes to cast a spell is directly related to the amount of Mana it
takes to cast that spell. The more Mana a spell requires, the longer it takes to
cast that spell.

Creature Combat
Crossing the Line
When you cast a creature spell, it comes to life at a
speed relative to its casting cost. While a creature is
being summoned it cannot attack or defend.
Most creatures will rush toward the opposing duellist and attempt to deal damage. (Some creatures
have other special purposes and do not attack.) If a
creature reaches an enemy duellist unopposed, it will
do damage equal to its power directly to the duellist’s health points. If the creature crosses paths with another creature, it will deal its damage to that creature.
It will also take damage equal to the opposing creature’s power.
If either creature sustains damage equal to its toughness, it is destroyed. Once
a creature deals its damage, it fades away and rematerializes at its casting point.
Note: Some creatures have special abilities — such as flying, regeneration and
trample — that alter the basic rules of combat. See the “Glossary” on page 18 for
more information about special abilities.
Using Your Shield
The best way to defend yourself from enemy attacks is to cast a creature that
can block, and hopefully kill enemy créatures before they reach you. As a last line
of defense, however, you can raise a shield by pressing the E key as you are being
attacked. Holding the E key will defend any oncoming attacks as long as it is up,
but slowly drain your Mana Bar.
Note: Blocking with the shield prevents only half of the damage inflicted (rounded down) by the attackers.
Using Your Melee Weapon
You can use your melee weapon to directly damage
the nearest creature or duellist. Press the R key to do
a single point of damage to the nearest enemy creature. If used correctly, this attack can stop the
annoying bites of weaker creatures or help defeat
larger foes.
Life and Mana
The Life and Mana levels of each duellist are displayed above his or her side of
the arena during a duel. The Mana Bar shows the
amount of Mana a duellist has accumulated. The Life
meter displays a duellist’s overall condition.
Each duellist starts with 20 lives, which decrease as
he or she receives damage. When a duellist’s Life
Meter is depleted, he or she is defeated.
10
If you cross over the centre line onto your opponent’s
half of the arena, your duellist will begin taking damage every two seconds. You cannot cast spells, regenerate mana or raise your shield while you are on your
opponent’s side of the arena, but you can steal your
opponent’s mana crystals and shards, and possibly
perform carefully timed melee attacks.
QUEST
Before you can begin a Quest mode game, you must
first select and name your duellist.
Quest mode consists of six chapters broken into a
variety of quests. When you successfully complete a
quest, you will acquire a new spell that you can add
to your duellist’s spellbooks. This spell will immediately appear in your duellist’s spell collection.
Completing a chapter unlocks other special items.
Tutorial
The first chapters of Quest contain an interactive tutorial that explains the
basics of how to play Magic: The Gathering-Battlegrounds. The tutorial runs
automatically the first time you play, and covers the following subjects:
• Collecting mana crystals/shards
• Casting spells
• Creatures
• Sorceries
• Enchantments
• Flying creatures vs. ground creatures
• Creature power/toughness
• Understanding creature attributes (first strike, trample, haste, etc.)
• Duellist attack
• Shielding
VS DUEL
In this mode you can try out new spellbooks and strategies against your friends.
Just select duellists and spellbooks, choose an arena, set the duel length and
number of rounds, and go!

ARCADE DUEL
In Arcade Duel, you can quickly delve into a duelling
tournament using pre-built characters. Arcade Duel
consists of an opponent ladder that shows the next
opponent that you will be fighting.
Note: You initially have a choice of five dualists, one
for each colour and each with a limited spellbook. You
can also create your own spellbook. After battling
through a series of 6 opponents, you unlock the next duellist in the colour that you
just played.
DUEL ONLINE
Ready for some real competition? Duel Online mode lets you compete against
other players via the Internet, using your choice of duellists and spells. You can
also download exclusive spells and accessories, as well as participate in on-line
tournaments.
First you need to create an account from the login screen. Once you have an
account, you can log into the match making server where you can chat with and
challenge other players.
For up-to-date information about online dueling, consult the ReadMe file (see
“The ReadMe File” on page 4).
SPELLS REFERENCE
Spell Colours
Black
Black spells are best at creature destruction — even regenerating creatures don’t
stand a chance against black’s abilities. A duellist commonly uses black spells to
drain life from opponents and the creatures they summon — this provides the
duellist the necessary strength to cast his or her pain-inflicting creatures.
Blue
Blue spells focus on confusing the enemy by draining mana, cancelling spells and
even making copies of other creatures! Blue creatures are considered rulers of
the sky, and only white can match their aerial dominance. The blue duellist must
always be vigilant toward others — paying close attention to his opponent’s
incantations and Mana bar — in order to defend himself against powerful spells.
Green
Green spells do two things extremely well: generate Mana and summon creatures with high power and toughness for a relatively low Mana cost. The trample ability is strictly a green mechanic that boosts a creature’s aggressiveness,
and regeneration helps keep creatures alive at minimal cost. While green duellists can’t cast flying creatures, their ground creatures are so good that it usually doesn’t matter.
Red
Red spells rely on direct damage to rapidly reduce an enemy’s resources and
health. Creatures with haste move considerably faster than most, getting to an
enemy sooner. Once an enemy is low on health, red direct damage spells can
finish the job.
White
White spells are defensive in nature and many can help you gain health and
increase the chances of winning a duel. However, creatures with first strike can
be quite fearsome, since they deal all of their combat damage before other creatures. In the air, white’s fliers are matched only by blue. White is also excellent
at destroying enchantments.

of combat. It may attack after being
affected by certain spells.

creature will attack.

where summoned and attacks any
enemy creature or duelist that comes

crystal increases your overall max mana
by one.
Max Mana – The number of mana crystals that a duelist has picked up.

one mana point. Mana shards replenish
but do not increase your mana pool.
Enchantments – Enchantments are like
permanent sorceries that continuously
function until the end of the match or
until they are removed with a spell.
Power/Toughness – Power is the
amount of damage a creature deals per
attack. Toughness is the amount of
damage a creature can take before it is
destroyed.
First Strike* – This creature deals its
combat damage before other creatures
do. If a creature with first strike deals
lethal damage, it takes no damage from
the other creature.
Regeneration* – When this creature
takes lethal damage, it respawns with
full power and toughness for a cost of
. If that mana is not immediately

effect, such as countering a spell, dealing direct damage, or creating a mana
crystal.
Haste* – This creature moves significantly faster than other creatures. Hasted
creatures cannot be additionally hasted.
Health – Each duelist begins a duel
with 20 health. The first duelist to lose
all of his or her health loses the duel. If
time runs out, the duelist with the lowest health loses. If both have the same
amount of health, it is a draw.
18
Mana – The energy that duelists use to
cast spells.
Health Bar – Each duelist begins a duel
with 20 health — when a duelist’s
health drops to zero, that duelist loses. If
health rises above 20, the Health Bar
will change color.
Spell Casting – To cast a spell, press
the appropriate button. The more the
spell costs, the longer it takes to cast.
Trample* – This creature does not
respawn until it successfully attacks the
enemy duelist.
*An icon will appear beneath any creature that has this ability.
