How many cards can be in play in Magic The Gathering?
Technically, there's no max limit to the number of cards you can have in play during a game of MTG. The game's rules don't set a hard cap, so you’re limited only by the physical space you have to play or how many cards you can manage without mixing them up. So go ahead, summon that army of creatures, just make sure you can keep track of them all!

No limit, really. But remember, managing a massive board can get complicated. More cards = more complexity.
I once played a game where we literally ran out of table space because both of us had so many cards in play. It was chaos, but in the best MTG kind of way. So yeah, no real limit, but maybe keep it practical, or invest in a bigger table!
