New Tri-Color Commanders Sneak Their Way Into Bloomburrow Main Set
Over the past few sets, Magic players have grown conscious of a developing trend: cards clearly designed for Commander being printed in non-Commander products. Outlaws of Thunder Junction was a particularly egregious example of this, but even Modern Horizons 3 was no exception. We all made the ‘Commander Horizons 3’ joke at one point during […]
Seven-Mana Secondary Commander Jumps to $40 Thanks to Assassin’s Creed
All kinds of different MTG cards are coming out constantly. Even though we’re currently in Bloomburrow spoiler season, it may be easy to forget that Assassin’s Creed came out just a week ago. Despite the Modern legality of the set, the cards definitely appear to be meant for Commander, as they seem too weak to […]
MTG Head Designer Explains Controversial New Booster Pack
From the moment they were announced, MTG’s new Value Boosters were almost universally hated. Containing only seven cards, with no guaranteed rare, this product seemed absolutely terrible. It’s really no wonder that MTG players are fearing the debut of Value Boosters alongside Bloomburrow already. While enfranchised MTG players have been quick to hate on Value […]
Beloved White MTG Cards Get Fresh Renditions In Bloomburrow
Bloomburrow, despite being an all-new set on an all-new Plane, has plenty of fun throwbacks for established Magic players. It features a very explicit reference to Relentless Rats, and even a callback to one of the biggest MTG memes. In addition to these, recent Bloomburrow spoilers also feature a number of white cards that evoke […]
Sneaky Bloomburrow Legend Makes Relentless Rats In Token Form
Every new MTG set looks both forward and backward, to differing degrees each time. Whether intentional or not, cards that call to mind others from the past are inevitable in a game as long-running as this one. In the case of Vren, the Relentless, however, the MTG callback is 100% intentional. This new card, spoiled […]
Forgotten Reserved List Card Revived By Bloomburrow Legend
After starting earlier this week, the Bloomburrow spoiler season hasn’t slowed down at all. Each day MTG players have been inundated with fantastic new cards vying for their attention and hard-earned cash. There’s so much going on, in fact, that it’s surprisingly easy to gloss over some real gems. Despite being one of the set’s […]
New Bloomburrow Spoilers Could Make Mouse Typal A Real Deck
Ever since Bloomburrow was first revealed, many MTG players have been keen to try out a Mouse Typal deck. This is a type that has seen scant support until now, with only a small family of Mice arriving in Wilds of Eldraine, and few before that. Those Mice were like heralds for the hordes in […]
Colossal Dreadmaw Returns in Bloomburrow With Major Upgrade
There are few creatures in MTG with the provenance of Colossal Dreadmaw. Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Nadu, Winged Wisdom may be iconic, but they’re hardly well-liked. Colossal Dreadmaw may be pretty terrible, but it’s undeniably beloved as far as MTG cards go. As a 6/6 with Trample for six, Colossal Dreadmaw is far from playable […]
MTG Common Fixes Failing Breakout Combo Deck
Two combo decks were at the forefront of Pro Tour Modern Horizons 3. One of the two decks, Nadu, Winged Wisdom combo, went on to dominate the entire event. The deck performed so well, that Nadu actually became cheaper after the Pro Tour. This is due to players expecting it to be banned at the […]
MTG Lifegain Decks Are In Shambles Thanks To New Bloomburrow Spoiler
We’re only a couple of days into preview season, and already Bloomburrow is shaping up to be one hell of a set. The new mechanics are interesting, the potential for wacky interactions is there, and, of course, the art is fantastic. Beyond the raw novelty, Bloomburrow also appears to be pushing the power level quite […]
