Over the past decade, substantial progress has been made in understanding the properties of Magellanic Cloud supernova remnants and their role in the ISM. Among the notable results are the “typing” of progenitors via the X-ray spectra of their remnants, the use of X-ray spectra to measure ISM abundances, and the discovery of remnants with unique properties. I summarize recent studies of MC SNRs, and describe how a refined understanding of the SNR population requires consideration of the unique attributes of each remnant.
