PNGs can have transparency and, yes, you can use them in Magic. There are even some video formats that support transparency (alpha channel). Make sure when you export from photoshop that your image has an alpha channel.
- Download this transparent png and load it in Magic.

Even for files without transparency you might get away with a blend, mask or key which are all available in Magic.
