MTG X Final Fantasy One-Drop has Massive Misaligned Potential
Cecil, Dark Knight was, for many, the most impressive card during MTG X Final Fantasy first look. One mana is a great start for any card, and Cecil has some powerful synergies that could put in on the map for a few different formats. Sadly, while this is the case, Cecil may be bizarrely out […]
MTG Designer Defends Reapearrance of Broken Dragonstorm Mechanic
The Storm Scale is a list created by legendary MTG designer Mark Rosewater that depicts how likely a specific MTG mechanic is to make a return. While some mechanics, like Flying or Menace, are essentially guaranteed to appear in any set, other mechanics can be rather harmful to Magic’s ecosystem. Take Dredge, for example. The […]
Vehicle Combo Deck Flourishes with Underrated Aetherdrift Artifact
It’s no secret that Aetherdrift cards have played a major role in the metagame developments in Standard and Modern. In Standard, new archetypes have arisen thanks to powerhouses like Afterburner Expert, and well-established strategies have gotten some elite upgrades. In Modern, Ketramose, the New Dawn is a force to be reckoned with. The one format […]
Absurd Dragonstorm Removal Spell Will Create New Archetypes
We may have only seen a handful of cards so far, but Tarkir: Dragonstorm already looks like a flashy MTG set. Between a new Mox effect, a literal Dragon with Storm, and a series of exciting and powerful abilities, this looks like a high-power Standard-legal set. While the new Mox is definitely the flashiest Tarkir […]
MTG X Avatar: The Last Airbender Crossover Revealed
MTG Arena fans caught it early. Back in January, Arena gave a slight hint that a crossover with Nikelodean’s series could be on the way thanks to a sneaky shop sale. Considering that Spongebob is getting its very own Secret Lair drop this year, this suggestion didn’t seem so outlandish. Miraculously, it turns out that […]
MagicCon: Chicago Spoilers Reveal New Mox Card For Dragons
Dragons of Tarkir was the star of the show during MagicCon: Chicago’s preview panel. This set looks incredibly powerful from its first look. Whether you want uncounterable removal that drains your opponent for life, or a new Mox, Tarkir Dragonstorm has everything. Clans and Dragons alike have returned to create, what appears to be, one […]
MTG Final Fantasy Creature Grants +9999 Power
MTG Final Fantasy’s First Look has come and gone, and Wizards of the Coast has seriously delivered. On top of spoiling some mechanically awesome MTG cards, there are tons of flavorful references too. It seems both MTG fans and Final Fantasy fans have reason to be impressed today. As suspected, despite only being a first […]
Aetherdrift Upgrades Help Revive Old MTG Standard Deck in Alternate Format
Back when Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths released, one of the most feared decks in Standard was Cycling. By pairing elite assertive threats with a card that can singlehandedly end the game in Zenith Flare, the Cycling deck was extremely robust and versatile. Unfortunately, when Ikoria rotated out of Standard, Cycling went by the wayside. There […]
MTG Best Pioneer Decks – February 2025
The Pioneer format is in a rather positive place right now. Previously, Pioneer was plagued by overpowered cards and dominant decks, but the times have changed. Thanks to recent bans, the Pioneer metagame has been shaken up dramatically, so we’re seeing a lot more innovation and variety. This makes it a great time to get […]
Disastrous MTG Toy Car Secret Lair Offers Worst Value This Year
Sadly, it seems that not every MTG Secret Lair can be a hit. It seems the new Aether Drifters Secret Lair was determined to prove this point. From a value perspective, this drop looks incredibly disappointing, although the aesthetics are fantastic. With a reprint value barely scraping $10, it may be difficult to justify buying […]
