Going into 2024, Wizards of the Coast made some big adjustments to try and save Standard. Perhaps the most notable change was switching all future Store Championships to the Standard format.

MTG Duskmourn Introduces New Hexproof Enchantment Land
Lotus Field is absolutely terrifying. It also happens to be my favorite card. Leveraging three mana on tap and boasting Hexproof, this land can be rather difficult to deal with.

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.
