New Carnage MTG Card Creates Two-Card Infinite Loop
After a long wait, MTG Spider Man is finally available online. Despite the set getting a rather poor reputation in terms of power level, there are a surprising amount of cards seeing lots of day one success. While most of these cards are functioning as powerful additions to existing decks, one mediocre-looking Spider Man card […]
MTG Lorwyn Eclipsed Spoilers Appear Early Thanks to New Leak
Leaks and Magic: The Gathering really do go hand in hand. It seems we can’t get a new set without a few cards or details being unexpectedly revealed early. We’ve even seen this trend hit Secret Lair drops recently, and it doesn’t show any signs of stopping. Ahead of MagicCon: Atlanta this weekend, the first […]
MTG Designer Reveals Disappointing Commander Development
It has been almost exactly one year since Wizards of the Coast took over the Commander format. In that time, not a whole lot has changed. The controversial bans that caused this dramatic move are still in effect, and only five other cards have been unbanned. With no further changes planned until 2026, it seems […]
Five-Color Spider Legend Immediately Crushes 123-Player Event
Players are now free to play with any of the new Spider Man cards in paper. This small set has some very strong additions to a multitude of different formats. One card I did not have on my radar for competitive events, though, was Cosmic Spider-Man. This five-color legend looks like a blast for casual […]
Dominance of Vivi-Less Izzet Showcases Additional Bans May Be Necessary
A couple weeks ago, Wizards of the Coast in an unprecedented move essentially made it clear that Vivi Ornitier would be getting banned in Standard on November 10. Izzet Cauldron has dominated the format for quite some time, so this isn’t too much of a surprise. However, there’s an argument that banning just Vivi won’t […]
Unexpected MTG Reel Seemingly Teases Hobbit Universes Beyond Set
Magic: The Gathering’s Lord of the Rings collaboration was one of the biggest sets in its entire 30-year franchise. Thanks to the creation of a one-of-one The One Ring card, MTG broke into mainstream pop culture news. This happens from time to time, but nothing quite matches turning on the local news and seeing Magic: […]
Forgotten 18-Year Old Zero Mana Artifact Wins Event for First Time in Years
As more cards come to Magic: The Gathering with format-warping abilities, it’s not uncommon for cards that went ignored for years to make a roaring return. This is rather common in Commander, where a new interesting Commander to build around has powerful synergies with old cards. It can also happen in competitive Magic, albeit it’s […]
MTG Spider Man Secret Lair Drop Sells Out In Under Two Hours
It’s all go for MTG Spider Man at the moment. Prerelease events for this set kicked off last weekend, and today, six brand-new Secret Lair drops were released. Unsurprisingly, as is all too common for Universes Beyond-themed Secret Lairs, it didn’t take long for things to start selling out. At the time of writing, it […]
Uniquely Rare MTG Spider Man Card Instantly Sells for $10,000+
The MTG Spider Man set feels incredibly hit or miss. If you’re not a Marvel or Spider Man fan, there’s a good chance this set isn’t exciting. Outside of a few cards, there aren’t many super staples that you need to pay attention to, and the theming makes it easy to ignore. If you are […]
Wizards Has Made Five-Color Commander MTG Cards Boring
As much as Standard has been growing in popularity recently, Commander is still Magic’s biggest format on paper. With unmatched creativity, freedom, and support on offer, it’s no surprise that Wizards prioritizes this format. Each modern MTG set is loaded with plenty of cool new Commanders and options for the 99. Out of all the […]
