How do you battle with magic the gathering cards?

Answer 1

the basics are untap your lands (needed these to pay mana costs located at the left top of the card) and creatures(attacking or tap abilities cause the ceature to tap and cannot block attack or use tap abilities until your next turn or you use a spell to untap him.) then you draw your card for the turn. play any spells you want for the turn(spells are creatures instances or sorrceries) within your mana cost range. attack if you choice. then you are allowed alot another main phase to play more spells. then you end your turn and do it again after your opponent ends.
