Satan’s Minions is the rough-edged small-capital font that the first word of the Magic logo closely resembles; dafont lists it under Mickey Rossi, while the file itself credits Loveless. No note from its author lets it be passed on, so it is not given here: get it from its page on dafont. Use it for anything, even things you sell.
Bowlby One SC sets heavy small capitals under taller first letters, as the logo does, though its edges are smooth where the logo’s are rough. Use it for anything, even things you sell.

What font is the Magic: The Gathering logo?
Two fonts are named on Google’s first page. The word Magic is very close to Satan’s Minions, a free font on dafont that the site lists under Mickey Rossi, though the font file itself says it is by Loveless. The Gathering is said to resemble Belwe Bold, a slab serif.
Neither of those is offered on this page: no note from the author of Satan’s Minions lets it be passed on, and Belwe Bold is not free. We give Bowlby One SC, by Vernon Adams: bold small caps, usable at no charge on any project covered by the SIL Open Font License. This is an imitation, not the official typeface of the logo.
How the Magic logo is set
MAGIC is set in small capitals under a taller first letter, with ragged edges that look worn, and THE GATHERING follows in the same small-capital rhythm, in a heavy slab serif according to the sources. Bowlby One SC keeps that rhythm: type a lowercase letter and it comes out as a small capital, type a capital and it stands taller.
Choosing Solid with the Logo backdrop renders your text black on white, the way the logo wordmark appears on a rulebook page. Outline retains just the contours over a backdrop of your choice, whereas Clear keeps the glyphs untouched, for overlaying card illustrations or a snapshot of your deck.

Enter your card's title in the generator above, for example a creature, an instant, or the name of your own deck.
Export it using Clear, leaving the black glyphs with no backdrop behind them.
Within Canva, add the image onto the name bar of your personal card border, then scale it so the opening letter rises above the rest.
Set the type line and rules text beneath in a simpler typeface, matching Magic cards, and render the flavor text in italic.
Where people use it
The first Magic cards were set in Goudy Medieval, picked, Wizards of the Coast says, for its very fantasy feel. For more of that old-world feel, try old English fonts.

Questions
What font is the Magic: The Gathering logo?
Google’s first page says Magic is very similar to Satan’s Minions, a free font on dafont, and The Gathering to Belwe Bold, a slab serif. This page gives Bowlby One SC, a free lookalike that sets small capitals the way the logo does.
What font do Magic cards use?
It depends on the era. Google’s answer says the original cards used Goudy Medieval, the cards from 8th Edition to Magic 2015 used Matrix for names and type lines, and modern cards use Beleren for names and type lines and MPlantin for rules and flavor text. Beleren Small Caps sets the artist credit.
Is the Magic the Gathering font free?
Bowlby One SC, the typeface used on this Magic: The Gathering font page, is at no cost for any work under the SIL Open Font License. Satan's Minions appears on dafont tagged 100% Free, yet its creator wrote nothing about redistribution, so we don't offer it here: read its page on dafont and decide for yourself.
Is there a Magic the Gathering font generator?
Correct, the font shown at the head of this Magic: The Gathering font page. Type a name, pick Solid or Outline, and save the picture in the look of the Magic logo, black small capitals on white, or on a clear ground for card art.
Can I sell things made with the Magic font?
You can apply Bowlby One SC to any merchandise you sell, provided the wording is your own. The name Magic: Wizards of the Coast owns The Gathering and its emblem, so you can't sell a deck box or T-shirt featuring them.
