Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Mechanics Could Appear On Real Cards
Sometimes, the Playtesting Pit sends something back…
MTG Players Request New Format After Controversial Changes
Earlier this week, Wizards of the Coast announced new card changes coming to the Historic format. Following the dominance of Boros Energy decks, three cards were rebalanced with nerfs to stabilize the metagame. Considering the dominance of this archetype, there was little question that these changes needed to happen. Despite this, many MTG players are […]
MTG Bloomburrow Reanimation Effect Emerges as Premier Build-Around
Up to this point, the vast majority of the cards in Bloomburrow that allow you to promise a gift to an opponent haven’t made much noise in Constructed. Typically, these cards are a bit on the weaker end unless you give the gift to the opponent. However, providing the opponent with an extra card or […]
Orzhov Midrange Brings A Bucketload Of Bats To Bloomburrow Standard
Somehow, they flew under the radar.
Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Cards Are The Wildest MTG Designs In Years
Somehow, even though one wasn’t scheduled for another few weeks, we’ve found ourselves in the middle of yet another spoiler season. This time Mystery Booster 2, the regrettably convention-exclusive mass reprint set of many Magic players’ dreams, is the star of the show. We’ve seen plenty to get excited about so far, including new white […]
Preconstructed Decks Are Coming to MTG Arena
Outside of Commander, getting into Magic: The Gathering can be rather difficult. Not only is the game outrageously complex, but it’s also obscenely expensive. With competitive decks costing at least a few hundred dollars in Standard, Modern, and Pioneer, there’s a major barrier to entry. Thankfully, Commander has mitigated many of these problems with its […]
Mystery Booster 2 White Border Cards Look Awful, In The Best Possible Way
Mystery Booster 2 is a set that throws far more curveballs than MTG fans are used to. Not only was the set itself a surprise, being announced out of nowhere at Gen Con last weekend, but its contents are not what you’d expect either. In addition to the Futureshifted card frame, Mystery Booster 2 also […]
MTG Designer Reveals Mystery Booster 2 Retail Release Isn’t Happening
Like a bolt from the blue, Mystery Booster 2 dropped out of nowhere over the past weekend. It’s a return to the sprawling chaos of the original Mystery Booster product, albeit with unique treatments this time in the form of the Futureshifted frame and white borders. We’ve seen countless cards from the set spoiled already, […]
MTG Best Budget Decks – August 2024
Unfortunately, while it is a lot of fun, MTG can be an incredibly expensive game to play. Thanks to the Reserved List, it’s not uncommon to see single cards selling for thousands of dollars. Mercifully, these ultra-expensive cards can only be played in MTG’s Eternal formats. While this is good news, sadly, competitive formats aren’t […]
MTG Alchemy Mechanic Appears on Paper For the First Time
Alchemy is a strange format on MTG Arena. In theory, it could be amazing, but it’s sadly severely limited by development constraints. This has made Alchemy an incredibly easily hated format over the years, especially when you factor in the digital-exclusive mechanics. Despite this, we’ve now seen a digital Alchemy mechanic making its way onto […]
