Huge MTG Errata Threatens to Cause Needless Confusion
As a constantly evolving game, Magic: the Gathering has seen no end of changes throughout its nearly 30-year history.

MTG Players Aren’t Buying the Popularity of Universes Beyond
Since its inception, Universes Beyond products have been an exceedingly controversial addition to MTG’s worryingly bloated release calendar.

Leaked Phyrexia: All Will Be One Spoilers Are Wild!
With Wizards admitting its problems themselves, it’s no secret that 2022’s seemingly neverending spoiler season has been messy.

MTG Unfinity Cards Are Already Seeing Constructed Play
Throughout the spoiler season for Unfinity, many MTG players were concerned about the set’s Eternal-legal cards. Playable in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage, Unfinity threatened to disrupt the homogeneous balance of MTG as we know it.

Players Infuriated With Wizards After MTG Ban Announcement
As much as they may aggravate some players, bans are a fundamental part of Magic: the Gathering.

Typically, while players may not enjoy their favorite cards getting banned, they understand why it has to happen. […]
Missing Dominaria MTG Cards Have Found Their Home
As the start of the Phyrexian invasion of the multiverse, Dominaria United had many MTG players rightfully excited.
