Magic: The Gathering’s 25 best cards of 2025, ranked

Every year, Magic: The Gathering releases more cards than any one person could reasonably keep up with. Along the way, there are plenty of obvious winners: cards that become pro tournament staples, others that skyrocket in price due to rarity and usefulness, and everything in between. To determine the “best” cards of the year can be a bit of a challenge, considering the wide variety of playstyles and preferences everyone has when it comes to the game.
