Rakdos Lizards May Be the Best New Deck in Standard
With last weekend’s Prerelease events out of the way, Bloomburrow is now officially upon us. Well, it is on MTG Arena, at least. With the new cards in their digital collections pros and casual players alike are furiously experimenting with the set’s new strategies. In particular, players are testing myriad animal typal decks that Bloomburrow […]
Multi-Format MTG Bloomburrow Threat has Been Found
Bloomburrow cards have only been available on Magic Online for just over 24 hours, and we’re already starting to see a bunch of new cards show up in various archetypes. Interestingly, one card in particular that has shined across multiple formats is Thundertrap Trainer. When we made our predictions for the best cards in the […]
MTG Arena Suffers Major Outage Following Bloomburrow Release
At long last, Bloomburrow was released yesterday on MTG Arena. Ushering in the long-awaited Standard rotation, alongside a set of new cards, this was an incredibly exciting time. Unfortunately, enjoying the new cards and rotated formats isn’t as you would hope. Thanks to overwhelming demand and new bugs, MTG Arena has been plagued by a […]
New MTG Bonus Cards Improve Already Impressive Value
Outside of the now sold-out Monty Python and the Holy Grail drop, Inside an Elevator didn’t look great. The vast majority of this latest Superdrop was sorely lacking in value. The only exceptions to this rule were the trio of Brain Dead crossover drops. Sadly, these cards didn’t look great for another reason, as the […]
MTG Bloomburrow Box Topper Sees Surprising Price Spike
The Bloomburrow MTG Box Topper was a rather weird choice. Generally, Box Toppers in MTG sets are either an exclusive Standard legal card or a special variant of an existing card available elsewhere. This time around, Wizards of the Coast has decided to make the Bloomburrow Box Topper a Commander legal exclusive, making Flubs, the […]
Bloomburrow Play Boosters Have A Major Value Problem
If you took part in a Bloomburrow Prerelease event last weekend, you may have noticed something a little different about your packs this time around. Less interesting card treatments, perhaps, or less valuable cards in general. You may have chalked this up to pure bad luck, but it’s actually nothing of the sort. Bloomburrow Play […]
Massively Downgraded MTG Arena Rewards Are a Huge Disappointment
Recently, Wizards of the Coast has been doing their best to pull MTG Arena players away from their devices. Dangling free rewards like a carrot on a stick, Arena players have been able to earn in-game rewards by attending WPN-sanctioned MTG events. Previously, these have been a great way to encourage in-person play while receiving […]
Problematic MTG Frog May be Poised for an Unhealthy Takeover
Over the past few years, we’ve seen a ton of absolutely incredible creatures get printed and change common play dynamics in Modern and Legacy. We are long past the days where Young Pyromancer was a premier two-drop option. Now, we have cards like Orcish Bowmasters that blow old threats out of the water. Yet, as […]
What is the Best MTG Otter Commander?
Bloomburrow brings along with it a ton of new Typal; trends for Commander players to try. Otters may be one of the most popular among these, and it’s difficult to blame anyone for wanting to try them. Who doesn’t want to try these playful sea pups for themselves? Choosing your cuddly Commander may be the […]
Shambolic 5 Cent Bonus Card Sets A New Low For Secret Lair
Secret Lair Bonus Cards have always been fairly hit or miss. Even early on, some players were opening up random bulk Elves while others got rare Relentless Rats variants with prices in the hundreds of dollars. You’d think these discrepancies would get better over time, but in fact, the opposite seems to be true. Case […]
