Surprise Upcoming MTG Commander Ban Announcement Revealed

Weekly MTG Q&A Thassa's Oracle

Thanks to last year’s Vivi Ornitier debacle, ban windows for Magic: The Gathering have become a lot more frequent. With bans occurring almost every month, there should be ample opportunities to eject power outliers from formats rather than leaving them to rot. That said, one of Magic’s biggest formats doesn’t follow the traditional ban windows, […]

Wizards Announces New D&D Superdrop by Revealing Seven Secret Lair Drops

Victimize | Secret Lair

Yesterday, Wizards of the Coast pissed off a lot of MTG players. In a new pay-what-you-want Chaos Vault drop, Wizards exacerbated FOMO concerns, instantly angering the community.

New $2 MTG Promos Causes Massive Player Excitement

Magic’s recent punts at competitive promos have not ended well. The previous season’s Laughing Jasper Flint Promo, for example, was a complete flop.

Wizards Surprise Drops New Chaos Vault at Seven Price Points

Nature's Lore | Chaos Vault

Since its introduction, Wizards’ Chaos Vault program has very much lived up to its name. We’ve seen drops for $1, weirdly erotic lands, and even a fair few non-MTG products. Now, Wizards has embarked on its latest experiment by selling one drop at seven different price points. Unsurprisingly, the cheapest variant of this drop has […]
