In this article, we’ve summoned over 200 spellbinding puns, covering everything from mana mishaps to legendary creature jokes. Whether you’re a seasoned Planeswalker, a Friday Night Magic regular, or just love the colorful chaos of commander games, you’ll find puns here that tap straight into your sense of humor. Think lines like “That joke was so bad, I’d exile it” or “You must be a blue player — because you’re controlling my heart.”
With sections themed around card types (creatures, artifacts, sorceries), colors (red rage, blue control), formats (Commander, Draft, Pauper), and iconic characters (Jace, Liliana, Chandra), this collection is built like a well-shuffled deck — full of surprises.
Perfect for MTG memes, gamer bios, playgroup roasts, or TikTok captions, these puns are your ultimate sideboard of snarky spells. Just remember: the stack never lies, and neither does your laughter.
