MTG Players Divided By Missing Reminder Text on Cards
Magic: The Gathering is an incredibly complex game. With thousands of new cards and 10+ new mechanics released each year, this complexity is ever-increasing.

Five Experimental MTG Unbans Make Reserved List Card Legal
While Commander is primarily a casual format for jamming wacky strategies with friends, there are more competitive variants of the format for those who want to streamline their strategies.

MTG Players Outraged By Unexpected Universes Beyond Increase
A lot of MTG players seem to have a love-hate relationship with Universes Beyond.
