  • Thumb of Josh Barnett video

    (#1) Josh Barnett

    • 41

    A well-known UFC combatant, Josh Barnett isn't the kind of guy you'd think would play MTG. But you'd be mistaken: He's been playing MTG since the very beginning, when he was just 16 years old.

    He's still got some coveted, vintage Alpha cards in his collection. He hates playing blue decks and prefers a black-red deck, which is his standard. 

  • Wil Wheaton on Random Celebrities You Didn’t Know Play Magic: Gathering

    (#11) Wil Wheaton

    • 46

    Wil Wheaton has solidified himself as one of the biggest names in popular nerd culture since playing Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation as a kid. He's grown into a major advocate for gaming, popular culture, and pretty much anything you might find wandering around a comic book convention. He's appeared on shows like The Big Bang Theory, where he played himself with little alteration to his real-life persona, and is known as an avid gamer.

    With all that, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to learn that he's been a fan of MTG for many years. He played a gread deal growing up, though his playing has waxed and waned through the years. He authored a blog article about his success in connecting with his son through MTG.

    (#8) David Williams

    • 55

    Magic: The Gathering may be deeply rooted in the fantasy genre and nerd culture, but it is, at its core, a card game. So it's not a huge stretch to think that a professional poker player might be drawn to it. David Williams is one such player. Williams is definitely known more for his skills at Texas hold 'em than for Magic, but he's been playing the game for years and credits it for preparing him for his professional career:

    I think Magic is great because it's a non-gambling game that kids can play and it will prepare you for poker or a ton of other career paths you can go down. I learned more playing Magic than I did at school until I got to the more advanced stuff in college, and the cool thing is that you don't even realize you're learning because it's so much fun. A lot of people have moved from Magic to poker, but I have a lot of friends from Magic that have gone into finance or technical fields, but basically, they're mentally prepared to succeed in anything in life.

  • Thumb of Brandon Sanderson video

    (#10) Brandon Sanderson

    • 43

    Brandon Sanderson is a fantasy and science fiction writer who is probably best known for finishing Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, but that's hardly his only foray into the genre. He's been expanding his bibliography for years, writing books for young adults, dedicated fantasy fans, and everything in between. It was only a matter of time before Wizards of the Coast approached him to write a tie-in novel for Magic: The Gathering.

    Sanderson is an avid gamer and has been playing MTG for years, which is how he managed to find his way into writing Children of the Nameless for Wizards of the Coast. Not only did he spin an impressive tale based on MTG lore, you can read it for free here. Sanderson's agreement to write the book required that it be made freely available to fans, and any money generated in a future collection, which would have normally gone his way, was instead to be donated to charity.

  • Thumb of Joseph Gordon-Levitt video

    (#2) Joseph Gordon-Levitt

    • 38

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been acting since he was a child, and while you might think most of his time was spent rehearsing or working on set, he was also getting busy with some MTG cards. Since joining Reditt, Gordon-Levitt has done a few Ask Me Anythings, and his love of MTG has come up on more than one occasion. He admitted to preferring the game over Pokémon.

    When he was asked, "Inquiring minds need to know: what's your favorite Pokémon," he simply replied, "Magic: The Gathering FTW." This elicited another question asking which was his favorite MTG card, to which he replied, "Time Walk. Never had it."

  • Thumb of Felicia Day video

    (#7) Felicia Day

    • 39

    Felicia Day is well known to nerd culture as a woman who loves fantasy role-playing games, so it might not be too surprising to learn that she's a fan of MTG. She's been playing for years, and she's also used her platform to try to increase the number of women who play the game. In a tweet from March 2019, she wrote, "I created Spellslingers years ago in order to make it [MTG] more accessible for people like me to get into. How to increase diversity on a pro-level is a big challenge though." She was referring to an article on Kotaku about increasing female acceptance of the game.

    Day spoke about her love of MTG in a vlog post in May 2013 where she mentioned having recently picked up MTG, and while she was certainly late to the party, she began playing after a visit to Wizards of the Coast inundated her with a ton of freebies. After looking into it, she dove right in, and began playing the game on a regular basis. She doesn't have a lot of love for white decks, though she didn't expand on which color she prefers.
