Well, Ultra had PMed me of having prepared a Rough Draft for this Stadium. However, I thought it was better to put in more detail to some of the points he mentioned. Moreover, I have been playing in the MagneStadium since Beyblade V-Force was released. Thus, I was quite excited about writing a draft for it.
However, this is supposed to be my first "Formal Attempt" at writing a BeyWiki Draft. I just hope I've made no errors. Even if I have, I hope that someone notifies me about the same.
I seriously wish Dracomageat(or any other A-44 owner) was here to see this Article, in order to cross-check the details I've posted. This is because, even though I've owned this stadium for quite sometime, I haven't owned any other stadium for a period long enough to compare with the MagneStadium. And of course, comparison is necessary. Without any comparison with the standard stadiums (BB-10, Tornado Attack), the details provided in this article might have gone wrong.
I haven't put the Draft in "BeyWiki Article Format" yet, but I'll do that as soon as this draft gets some positive response.
While I own the MagneStadium, I don't know how to measure the dimensions of a stadium. All I have is a foot ruler to measure stuff. :\
Sooo, if someone else can help me with it?
Also, I have skipped out on certain details like the use of Magnetic Weight Disk in the MagneStadium; because I didn't know where to put it. Also, forgive me if I have gone wrong with the technical/official terms related to beyblade; especially the Product names. I don't know much about the Plastics era, so I might have gone wrong.
As for the available products section, I think Ultra (who is an expert at such stuff) would know the details.
So, without further ado, here's what I've prepared-
Er, as a few of you would've noticed- I've "borrowed" a few sentences from existing BeyWiki articles at some places....
I'd appreciate corrections and suggestions!

*A-44 Beyblade MagneStadium
==Introduction==
During the [[V-Force]] era, a new system of beyblades was released- The [[Magnecore]] system. The [[Beyblade MagneStadium]] was released during this time in order to exploit the gimmick of the MagneCore System Beyblades.
The MagneStadium is made up of two layers: an upper layer, and a lower layer. The upper layer sits on top of the lower layer like a cap. The lower layer has slots, in which the magnets can be inserted. These slots cover the entire surface of the stadium, enabling a user to insert magnets in various patterns, which affects the performance of a MagneCore Beyblade during the course of a battle. The upper layer is a regular, transparent play area; which largely resembles the [[Tornado Attack BeyStadium]], even though its design has many considerable differences. It features the standard 3 Walls, 3 Exits, and an undisturbed center. It is on this surface that the Beyblades battle.
A unique feature of this stadium is that it is capable of a Mode Change. The upper layer can be removed and rotated 45 degrees to change between four different Modes. In order to differentiate between the various modes, the upper layer has an embossed "S" marked on its border. On the lower layer, the numbers "1", "2", "3", and "4" are marked. Depending on where the "S" is positioned on the lower layer, the Mode changes, altering the alignment of the outer ring of magnets in relation with the Stadium exits.
==Competitive Analysis==
The [[Beyblade MagneStadium]] has an interesting gimmick, but is unsuitable for competitive play. While the MagneStadium has a perfectly sloped surface to allow [[Attack]] types to gain momentum and attain a flower pattern, the main hindrance is the absence of a [[Tornado Ridge]]. However, it has an extremely shallow ridge near the exits which, unfortunately- is incapable to compensate for the missing [[Tornado Ridge]]. This greatly hinders the Beyblades performance in this Stadium, particularly [[Attack types]], which have a tendency to self-KO with ease in this Stadium. Moreover, the three walls of the Stadium are extremely short, which almost rules out the occurrence of wall-saves; thus, a KO can easily be scored in this stadium. These walls however, are easily accessible due to the lack of a Tornado Ridge, which is why wall rebounds are very common; especially in the case of [[Attack]] types. In short, no specific Category of Beyblades can establish its supremacy in this stadium. [[Attack]] Types are exposed to the risk of self-KO, while the shorter walls offer less protection for [[Defense]] and [[Endurance]] types. Unlike most stadiums, the top section of the MagneStadium extends the usual flat exit zone past the walls slightly, presumably so it can better fit with the lower half. This results in very occasional scenarios where a bey runs out of linear momentum outside of the standard play area, resulting in it either rolling back in from what should have been a KO or, even more occasionally, spinning in place in an area of the extended portion.
==Gimmick Analysis==
The highlight of the [[MagneStadium]] is its gimmick, which allows users to control their [[Magnecore]] System Beyblades, by arranging the Stadium magnets in specific patterns to suit their needs. The Stadium magnets are “South Pole magnetsâ€. i.e. the South-Pole of the Stadium Magnet faces up when inserted into a slot in the lower layer of the stadium. Thus, a North-Pole [[Magnecore]] would be attracted towards these magnets, while the South-Pole [[Magnecore]] would be repelled. This gimmick allows users to perform certain tricks during battle.
The pattern of arrangement of the magnets plays a vital role in this. The magnetic attraction/repulsion can allow a certain [[Magnecore]] beyblade to gain an advantage over its opponent in several ways.
Numerous patterns have been invented by players all over the world. A few notable ones are listed as under-
1. Magnets around the exits- This arrangement prevents a beyblade from getting knocked out easily, and is also used to keep [[Attack]] types from self-KOing. Moreover, it also allows an [[Attack]] type to move in a flower pattern; which is otherwise impossible to achieve in a stadium lacking a [[Tornado Ridge]].
2. At the center- This arrangement is specifically useful for [[Defense]] types, as it anchors them at the center, making it difficult to KO them.
3. As a ring around the center- This arrangement is useful for both, [[Defense]] and [[Stamina]] types as it shields them against [[Attack]] types. The ring of magnets prevents easy passage of an [[Attack]] type through the center, thus preventing it from even making contact with the beyblade at the center.
It is important to note, however, that the magnets have weak magnetic strength. Thus, for instance, a fast moving [[Attack]] type can still break past the magnetic barrier, and easily KO a [[Defense]] or [[Stamina]] type beyblade.
Moreover, the polarity of a [[Magnecore]] beyblade plays a significant role in determining the effect of the magnetic arrangement in a battle.
The gimmick is fun to play with, but is obviously not viable for competitive use.

==Overall==
The [[Beyblade MagneStadium]] offers a unique and popular gimmick to Beyblade lovers. However, due to the downsides of this stadium (no tornado ridge, short walls, and unfair advantages towards all-typed Beyblades), there is no real reason to purchase this stadium, apart from collection purposes. Moreover, this stadium is extremely rare to come across, which is why the more commonly available (and obviously better) [[Tornado Attack Type Stadium]] and [[BB-10 Attack Type Stadium]] are preferred.
