List Of Species In Magic: The Gathering
Magic: the Gathering is a collectible card game set in a richly detailed fictional world. The Multiverse of Dominia in which it takes place is host to a vast number of individual universes known as "planes," from the varied classical environments of Dominaria to the gleaming metal landscapes of Mirrodin to the bustling, endless metropolis of Ravnica. A wide variety of different races and species are spread throughout the planes, some indigenous to single worlds and others found almost anywhere. The mechanics of the game are divided between five colors representing different abilities and strategies. These "colors of magic" are also reflected in the storyline, dictating the natures, outlooks and capabilities of entire species. Whilst the game accommodates several hundred "creature types," including mundane classifications such as "beast" and "fish," this list comprises only the most important and/or distinctive races.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, species and/or gathering:
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Thus all probable reasoning is nothing but a species of sensation. ‘Tis not solely in poetry and music, we must follow our taste and sentiment, but likewise in philosophy, When I am convinc’d of any principle, ‘tis only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
