ABOUT

Empire State Gaming (ESG) is a New York–born platform built around two pillars: Magic: The Gathering and gaming—current and retro. We bring the shop and the show together, so you can browse sealed product and singles, discover new releases and classic titles, and jump straight into live auctions and streams—all in one place. The goal is simple: make it easy to find what you love and share the moment when it hits.
 

What you’ll see here reflects that focus. MTG sits front and center—sets, singles, and the cards people actually play—alongside a rotating lineup of games from the newest drops to the cartridges you grew up on. Live shows are the heartbeat: fast, welcoming, and built for the pull, the play, and the chat that follows. Auctions keep things moving, storefront listings keep things accessible, and seasonal features keep it fresh without losing the roots.
 

We keep the tone clean and the energy high: bold art, New York pace, and respect for the hobby and the people in it. Whether you’re tuning in for a stream, hunting a mythic, chasing a high score, or lining up a nostalgic pickup, this is a place to plug in and feel part of something—no gatekeeping, no noise, just the good stuff.
 

ESG is designed to grow with you. As the scene shifts, we’ll evolve the mix—more drops, more shows, more ways to connect around MTG and games—while staying true to the vibe that brought you here. If you’re new, welcome. If you’re returning, you already know: show up for the game, stay for the scene, and make the hobby yours.
