Upcoming MTG Bans Could be Surprisingly Boring

For a long time, ban announcement truly felt like the Wild West for MTG players. They would mostly show up with little warning, reap a few problematic cards from some formats, and potentially ruin the financial value of some players’ collections.

Robust Big Score Haymaker Helps Failing Archetype Crush the Competition!

Since the release of Outlaws of Thunder Junction, it’s incredible how much the Pioneer metagame has shifted.
