MTG Cheating Scandal Shows Need for Fundamental Change
Sadly, MTG has had a cheating problem for a long time. Some of the game’s mechanics, like the constant shuffling caused by Fetch Lands, give bad actors many opportunities to stack the game unfairly in their favor. Combine this with the surprisingly light punishments that cheaters receive, and there’s little incentive for bad actors not […]
Recently Unbanned MTG Commander Enables Multiple 1.5 Card Infinite Combos
For the most part, the banned and restricted announcement in early February was rather uneventful. Outside of a bevy of changes on MTG Arena, no competitive paper format was touched. Even in Commander, we didn’t see any of the dramatic, potentially format-warping changes that were expected. Instead, Wizards only unbanned two cards in Commander. Outside […]
MTG TMNT Card Spikes to $22 Thanks to Newly Discovered Combo
In the lead-up to the TMNT set, the MTG financial markets were surprisingly stagnant. Outside of a few Mutants spiking in price thanks to new synergies, we didn’t see the usual reaction. Instead of the latest precon moving mountains, it seems Lorywn Eclipsed remained relevant for far longer than expected. Now, however, it appears that […]
Janky Two-Card MTG Avatar Free Spell Combo Becomes Competitive Powerhouse
Ever since it was unveiled as one of the first MTG Avatar cards, players were understandably excited about Avatar Aang. Offering a ridiculous ability once flipped, this card had immediate combo potential that players couldn’t wait to get their hands on. Upon release, however, many found this combo to be too clunky and ultimately not […]

Two seriously significant hits!
Discovered Potential For TMNT Copy Effect Causes 395 Copies to Sell Overnight
Prerelease events for MTG x TMNT have come and gone, and already, early reviews for the set are mixed. While many are likening this set’s Limited experience to a second Spider Man, Commander players seem to be happy. Thanks, in part, to offering so many new cards, the Turtle Power! Commander precon seems to be […]
Bizarre Seven-Card MTG Cycle Is Hugely Underplayed in Commander
At this point, keeping up to date with Magic: The Gathering feels like a full-time job. Not only are we getting seven sets throughout 2026, but there’s also the insane backlog of cards to go through. With over 30,000 cards in MTG at this point, it’s no wonder that keeping track of everything can be […]
MTG Final Fantasy Clone Card Reaches $30 Due to Low Supply
At long last, it seems like the hype around Lorwyn Eclipsed is finally starting to die down. With the TMNT MTG set failing to make many massive spikes of its own, Commander is in a bit of a lull right now. That, however, doesn’t mean that the markets aren’t still moving quietly in the background. […]
“Missing” $18 Land Reappears as Secret Lair Bonus Card
Earlier this week, the long-anticipated Chaos Vault drop finally went on sale. Dubbed the Secret Lair x Brain Dead: New Earth Mentality drop, this product contains 10 cards priced at $29.99 and $39.99. Unfortunately, from a reprint value perspective, this collection of cards is quite disappointing, especially considering one of the most anticipated spoilers for […]
