When Richard Garfield created Magic: The Gathering, he did it implementing three fundamental ideas: the trading card game genre, the mana system and the Color Pie. Later, Mark Rosewater refers to those three ideas as the Golden Trifecta.[1][2]
Mark Rosewater has recorded a podcast for each one of those three ideas:
