Magic: The Gathering (マジック・ザ・ギャザリング) is a Sega Dreamcast interpretation of the card game with the same name. It was only released in Japan.

The game takes place in the town of Magic Heart, and its surrounding areas of Murg, Camat Island, Lydar Forest, Yeluk, Tornell, and The Balance Tower, each representing a basic land that the opponent's decks will be based on. The game includes a total amount of 369 cards, including cards from the Magic: The Gathering expansion sets 6th edition, Alliances, and Tempest.
