Today I’ll be explaining why were Magic Cards changed to Spell Cards.

Why were Magic Cards changed to Spell Cards?

This was to avoid a lawsuit.

The Wizards of The Coast case

Wizards of The Coast is a company.

A company that owns the game Magic The Gathering.

And what they did was put Konami in a lawsuit back in 2003 over the name of their cards.

Wizards of The Coast owned the name Magic Cards first and had better lawyers than their TCG counterpart.

As a form of settlement, Konami simply changed the name of their green cards to Spell Cards instead.
