01Magic or Street Wars?
Magic offers a much broader rules system and many formats. Street Wars focuses on a shorter match with fewer cards to learn. Try it when you want a quick deck-building challenge: predicting a rival, choosing a block, and judging whether to raise the stakes.
02Is Street Wars free?
Yes. It runs in your browser. You don't need a download or an account to start. All 90 cards can be earned by playing.
03Can I play with a friend?
Yes. Blood Match is 1v1 online. Crew Brawl is 2v2, with you and a friend on the same side. You can also play solo against the city's crews.
04Are the rules the same?
No. Some ideas will feel familiar, but many cards and block rules work in their own way. The rules guide shows a full match with examples.
05Is it made by Wizards of the Coast?
No. Street Wars is an independent game and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Wizards of the Coast.
