Burly Bloomburrow Frog Can Help You Conquer Your MTG Store Championship
On Monday, a major ban announcement shook up a bunch of formats at once. Modern, Legacy, Pioneer, and even Vintage saw massive changes that are sure to impact metagames from here on out. One format that wasn’t affected, though, is Standard. Standard is relatively healthy at the moment, with a wide range of viable options […]

Multiple MTG D&D 50th Anniversary Secret Lairs Sell Out in Less Than 2 Hours!

Wizards Admits Recently Banned MTG Card Was a Design Mistake
Yesterday, a long-anticipated ban announcement finally put a stop to the Modern menace that was Nadu, Winged Wisdom. Since the Pro Tour, Nadu has completely dominated Modern play.

Problematic MTG Super Staple Just Got Even Worse
The One Ring is a problematically flavorful MTG card. Not only was there the One-of-One Ring, but it’s apparently unkillable. Maybe we should have thrown it into a volcano after all.

Massive MTG Movement is Only Hated by 7% of the Community

This makes a lot of sense considering Hasbro owns both brands. The game remains the same, but we’re constantly diving into IPs that are unrelated to Magic’s. From Stranger Things to […]

In the best way possible, Mystery Booster 2 has surprised us. Prior to its launch, this set was expected to be as rare as gold dust, and just as expensive. Thankfully, that hasn’t been the case, as the product’s sale has been surprisingly uneventful. Initially released on August 19th, Mystery Booster 2 has been available […]
