Playmat

A playmat is a playing surface. Playmats can be made of different materials, like paper or rubberized, cloth covered, foam.

Khalsa
Khalsa Brain Games was a very early producer of popular playmats made from an "imitation impala skin" material. The 1994 SpellGround gaming cloth came in two sizes: the standard 26 inch square for two players and the "Classic" 21 by 14 inch for one player.

Worlds
Wizards of the Coast used to give out playmats to competitors at the World Championships from 1996 through 2006 (skipping 2005).

Red Zone
When Magic was being aired on ESPN2 (1998-2000), the people in charge wanted a playmat that would make the card layout easy to understand on television. The solution came to be known as the 'Red Zone, a mat that marks off where each players' lands and non-lands should go, as well as a large red central area for spells on the stack, and - more importantly - for combat. The 'Red Zone' has become synonymous with attacking.

Ultra Pro
The main license to make Magic playmats is now owned by Ultra Pro. Official Ultra Pro playmats come in two typical sizes 19 3/8" x 15" (49.2 cm x 38.1 cm) and 24" x 14" (61.0 cm x 35.6 cm). They come in plain colors and in many different designs, they may even have space (circles) on them for keeping track of life.

Wyrmwood
In June 2017, a license a for Magic leather playmats and themed wooden deck boxes was acquired by Wyrmwood, a small customer-focused company. The Wyrmwood Magic: The Gathering playmat is crafted from doe tan leather and feature the iconic Magic: The Gathering logo. It includes a stone-oiled water buffalo leather strap to help keep the playmat stored for transit. The playmat was strictly limited to 100 units.
