The cosmology tells about components and evolution of reality which is the setting for the Magic: The Gathering game. It consists of several levels. Beginning with the most fundamental one, they look as following:

  • Time stream - parent level in cosmology; each one constitutes a reality with its own multiverse. There are infinite time streams.
    • Multiverse - for example Dominia, encapsulates the sum of all planes and the Blind Eternities that connects them.
      • Blind Eternities - "space" between planes filled by chaotic energies, mostly Æther and mana.
      • Plane - a self-contained world or universe, one among many in a given multiverse.
        • Natural plane - natural occurring universe existing next to others in endless movement in the multiverse. Natural planes can contain as much as billions of galaxies, stars and planets or as few as a single island and are subject to any possible physical rules.
        • Artificial plane - artificial, small universe, usually created by planeswalkers who define its rules; artificial planes are unstable.
