Magic: the Gathering Just Changed Combat
Tons of massive MTG announcements just went straight from MagicCon Vegas to the internet. Standard rotation is changing, Universes Beyond sets are Standard legal from now on, Spongebob Secret Lairs are coming, and MSRP is coming back to MTG. Bizarrely, none of these changes may be the biggest one of all. The biggest change coming […]

New MTG Arena Spoiler Is Death Shadow’s Best Friend
October is a big month for MTG… Or at least it will be. On October 18th, players will get their first look at the hugely anticipated Marvel crossover set. One week later, MagicCon: Las Vegas kicks off with loads of potentially revelatory preview panels. Before all that, the Alchemy: Dusmourn set is slowly being spoiled […]
New MTG Duskmourn Card Offers Infinitely Repeating Buffs
Duskmourn: House of Horror may have been released on September 27th, but the set isn’t done yet.

Two New Unplayable MTG Cards Frustrate Players
It’s rare that MTG cards are literally unplayable. Sure, there might be a lot of Draft chaff, but you can still put these cards in your deck. Is it a bad idea to do so? Absolutely, but it’s nonetheless an option if you’re building a janky deck. Sadly, while Draft chaff is technically playable, some […]
MTG Players Request New Format After Controversial Changes
Earlier this week, Wizards of the Coast announced new card changes coming to the Historic format. Following the dominance of Boros Energy decks, three cards were rebalanced with nerfs to stabilize the metagame. Considering the dominance of this archetype, there was little question that these changes needed to happen. Despite this, many MTG players are […]
Preconstructed Decks Are Coming to MTG Arena
Outside of Commander, getting into Magic: The Gathering can be rather difficult. Not only is the game outrageously complex, but it’s also obscenely expensive. With competitive decks costing at least a few hundred dollars in Standard, Modern, and Pioneer, there’s a major barrier to entry. Thankfully, Commander has mitigated many of these problems with its […]
Unplayable Commander Cards May Continue To Appear In Packs
For better or worse, Modern Horizons 3 does quite a few things differently. The power level of the set, for example, is worlds apart from a Standard-legal premier set. On top of this, Modern Horizons 3 doesn’t include a version of The List for whatever reason. That being said, Play Boosters do have some surprises […]
Wizards Promises Major MTG Arena Matchmaking Improvements
There’s been a lot of talk about the matchmaking system on MTG Arena recently. For the longest time, this fundamental digital feature has been long complained about but shrouded in a thick layer of mystery. That was, at least, until recently, when savvy players reverse-engineered the system following a bug and cracked the code. Following […]
Massive Preemptive MH3 Ban Announcement May Still Fall Short!
With Modern Horizons 3 releasing in just over a week, many players are excited to see how various formats get shaken up. This set is filled to the brim with efficient powerhouses and elite haymakers that are sure to bring change to Modern and beyond. If MH1 and MH2 were any indication, some of the […]
