About Us

Welcome to “The Mana Base” the world’s first and only facility devoted to the betterment and research of the world’s mana usage and efficiency when it pertains to Magic: the Gathering. Our base’s location remains a mystery, as we strive to remain neutral to the world’s Magic player’s, Please show yourself around, and explore any of this facilities member’s research as you please. You can access our findings by scrolling along the top toolbar located under the authors section. If you’re looking for just our newly published work, the main lobby is currently showcasing all of the freshest content our researchers have published. Have fun exploring, but I warn, some of the bases experimenters don’t care for guests, sticking to yourself, and keeping your head down is strongly advised.
