Iconic Avatar Legend is Counterspell, Removal Spell, and Bomb All in One

As is typical for full Universes Beyond sets, the most iconic characters from MTG Avatar appear in a multitude of different designs. In Aang’s case, we’ve already seen a handful of legends of various rarities and color combinations representing the character’s growth. Interestingly, while Avatar Aang is certainly the flashiest of the bunch, it may […]

New MTG PlayStation Commander Causes 270% Ninja Price Spike

Fallen Shinobi

Curiously, much like MTG Spider Man, the Avatar: The Last Airbender set hasn’t made huge financial waves so far. We saw some price spikes following the set’s first look, but since then it’s been surprisingly quiet. Even the new competitive and Commander staples that have been spoiled haven’t moved the market. Despite this seemingly poor […]

Incredible Avatar Legend is the Ultimate Anti-Combo Card

Over the years, a variety of different creatures that punish players for casting specific types of spells have made an impact on the competitive scene. From Thalia, Guardian of Thraben‘s taxing ability to Eidolon of the Great Revel‘s brutal trigger, these threats showcase that even symmetrical effects can be abused in the right deck. Now, […]

Classic 2016 MTG Combo Reemerges in New Planeswalker Control Shell

Thanks to the nature of Magic’s relentless power creep, it’s rare for old cards to continually do well in competitive formats. Dark Confidant, a nostalgic Modern super staple from the past, for example, was recently reprinted in MTG Final Fantasy, but has seen little to no play as a result. Not only is this card […]

Wizards Unveils 20 New Reprints for $200 Secret Lair Drop

Myrel, Shield of Argive | Secret Lair

At long last, the full contents of the latest Secret Lair Countdown Kit have been revealed. Dubbed “An Encyclopedia of Magic,” this product features 26 cards, each starting with a different letter of the alphabet. In this product’s mini spoiler season, we’ve already been wowed by multiple high-priced reprints. For better or worse, the product’s […]

Iconic Commander Legend Hits $30 Thanks to Wild Unban Speculation

Dockside Extortionist

The Avatar: The Last Airbender Source Material bonus sheet is far from perfect. Not only is this bonus sheet’s art highly controversial, but the reprints aren’t that good either. While there are some compelling $50 cards, the rarity of these reprints threatens to make them effectively useless. Remarkably, as if these reprints weren’t bad enough […]

Spider Man Uncommon Unexpectedly Appears in Magic’s Most Powerful Format

For quite some time, graveyard decks have been a pillar of the Vintage format. While Dredge is currently the most popular graveyard strategy, Vengevine shells aren’t too far behind. Interestingly, even though Vintage offers a vast card pool and these archetypes have been well-established for years, there’s still room for players to innovate. In a […]

Card Stealing Universes Beyond Legends Cause 310% Price Spike

Thieving Varmint

Despite containing plenty of powerful cards for constructed and Commander, Avatar: The Last Airbender hasn’t caused many price spikes yet. Potentially, MTG players simply aren’t that enthused about the set, or are just waiting for spoiler season to conclude. Thankfully, until that happens, there are still plenty of older cards worth looking at. The recently […]

One Player MTG Standard Event Highlights Failing Format Health

You're Not Alone | Final Fantasy

The MTG Standard format has been going through a bit of a rough spot as of late. For a time, it looked like this once great format was well and truly back, with Wizards finally properly supporting it. As time has gone on, however, cracks have started to show rather quickly, as things have gone […]
