The collectible card game Magic: The Gathering was first released in 1993 with very few restrictions on how players could construct their decks. The game evolved over time to encompass many different formats with various constraints for how players could construct their decks. Constructed formats, for instance, allow players to build decks in advance using cards from their collection, although only a subset of cards are allowed. Another major development was the creation of officially sanctioned tournaments for prize money. These official tournaments created an incentive for players to continue to buy cards for new sets, and helped establish a long-term future for the game.
