19-Year-Old MTG Terminology May Be Changing Soon
Since the game’s inception, Legendary creatures have been a staple of MTG. Nowadays, thanks to Commander, every set is loaded with Legendary creatures, even as Wizards has scaled back slightly. These cards aren’t just the cornerstone of a format but also ground Magic’s multiversal story. Despite the near-unparalleled importance of these cards, Legendary creatures haven’t […]
MTG Duskmourn Introduces 10-Power Three Drop
Overstatted creatures have been becoming more and more common in MTG nowadays. While a four-mana 5/5 creature with an upside was unbelievable back in the day, multiple examples of these cards exist now. The mana value of these cards isn’t even that restrictive.

MTG Cat and Oven Combo Surges Thanks to Bloomburrow Powerhouses
Since the banning of Amalia Benavides Aguirre and Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord, the Pioneer metagame has seen some massive shifts.
