MTG Designer Reveals Standalone Commander Decks Have Been Scrapped
Recently, it seems Wizards of the Coast has been dramatically cutting down on what products they produce. Masters sets have been put on hold, and direct-to-Modern sets have gone the way of the dodo. Now, the 2026 MTG release calendar consists entirely of Standard sets, with most of them being Universes Beyond. Unfortunately for those […]
Missing MTG Crossovers Expose Hidden Universes Beyond Problem
It’s no secret that Magic: The Gathering is well and truly in its Universes Beyond era. Looking at the 2026 MTG release calendar makes that clear enough. Next year, we’re getting more Universes Beyond sets than those within the Magic Multiverse. Unsurprisingly, a lot of MTG players aren’t happy about this, especially since it feels […]
New Spider Man Hero Dominates 60-Player Commander Event
Despite its negative reputation, MTG Spider Man has at least been impactful on a variety of formats. A combo deck centered around the new Web-slinging mechanic just won a Pioneer Challenge, and Spider-Punk is showing up in Storm decklists in Legacy. Perhaps the format that’s seen the most change, though, is Duel Commander. Cosmic Spider-Man, […]

MTG Spider Man and Through the Omenpaths cards have now been tournament legal for over two weeks.

MTG Designer Kills Hope for Triple-Sided Cards In 2026
The past few years have brought about a lot of innovations for Magic: The Gathering. Some of these, like Epilogue sets, were spectacular failures that didn’t even warrant a second attempt. Universes Beyond, meanwhile, has been on an absolute tear, almost going from success to success. If it weren’t for MTG Spider Man, we could […]
MTG Poll Reveals Sharp Shift in Anti-WOTC Sentiment
October is shaping up to be a surprisingly quiet month for Magic: The Gathering.

While this quiet period is definitely a rarity, MTG players are still digesting a mountain of […]

197-Player MTG Event Dominated by Rogue Decks
In many player’s minds, Vivi Cauldron combo still haunts the halls of Standard. Until Wizards of the Coast comes in and purges the combo from existence, Standard is a dead format. A recent event, however, tells a different story. This weekend, a 197-player Magic Online Super Qualifier took place. With MOCS points and four qualifications […]
