20 Tarkir: Dragonstorm Spoilers Reveals Anointed Procession Planeswalker
Tarkir: Dragonstorm spoiler season is finally here, and the new cards are just as absurd as expected.

MTG Aetherdrift One-Drop Revolutionizes Popular Archetype
Since the release of Bloomburrow, red aggro decks have been a formidable force in both Standard and Pioneer. The “valiant” package involving cards like Heartfire Hero made red decks exceptionally explosive. Most decklists in Pioneer since Bloomburrow’s release have featured either a black splash or green splash for cards like Callous Sell-Sword or Innkeeper’s Talent. […]
New Reverse Collected Company is an MTG Powerhouse
Back in Dragons of Tarkir Standard, Collected Company gave rise to one of the format’s strongest archetypes. Getting to put multiple threats with enters-the-battlefield effects into play at instant speed made the card incredibly difficult for the opponent to play around. Since Collected Company’s reign of terror, we’ve seen multiple four-mana cards printed that resemble […]
Wizards Needs to Unban These MTG Cards
Back in December 2024, a multitude of changes shook up the competitive landscape of various Constructed formats.

Old-School MTG Zombie Typal Deck Dominates Out of Nowhere
When it comes to Pioneer, one style of archetype that has largely fallen off the map in recent years is typal. Decks like mono-blue Spirits that used to be elite are nearly nonexistent at this point.

Dead MTG One-Shot Kill Wins Event in New Format
Hammertime’s reign in Modern is long over. The fan-favorite archetype has its diehard fans who occasionally make a dent in larger events. The deck even got a massive buff in recent days since Mox Opal was unbanned. Sadly, even that was not enough to bring Hammertime back from the dead. Instead, Hammertime’s true format might […]
MTG Card Repurposed as Top Secret Discard Counter
