Why this book matters
Most trading card games make players chase scattered fragments of lore across cards, websites, videos, and side products.
Mage: Chronicles of the Rift gives you the foundation in one place.
It explains the world, the classes, the conflicts, the creatures, the timeline, the art direction, and the rules that everything else is built upon. This is the cornerstone volume for the MageTCG universe — part lore artifact, part collector’s item, part rulebook, and part world bible.
Why MageTCG?
MageTCG is not just a card game. It is a growing dark fantasy universe built across trading cards, books, RPG content, live events, community-created characters, and future expansions.
This book gives you the deeper story behind the battlefield. It shows where the world came from, what shattered it, what the Rift truly is, and why every Mage path matters.
If the booster boxes are where you discover the cards, Chronicles of the Rift is where you discover the soul of the universe.
First Edition significance
As the first official printing of Mage’s foundational canon, this edition represents the moment the universe was fully revealed.
For collectors, it marks the origin point.
For players, it defines the rules and lore.
For Mages of every path, it is the cornerstone of the world you are stepping into.
