New Tarkir: Dragonstorm Spoiler Is an Unplayable Functional Reprint
Officially, the spoiler season for Tarkir: Dragonstorm isn’t due to start until next Tuesday, the 18th of March. Despite this date for Dragonstorm’s debut, Wizards has slowly been releasing a few spoilers early. Embedded within story chapters for the set, we’re just now seeing our second early spoiler ahead of the set’s release. Unfortunately, while […]
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 […]
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 […]

New Aetherdrift Uncommon Tempo Monster Protects Your Board
A ton of powerful uncommons have been spoiled for MTG Aetherdrift. While some grant the possibility of powering up common Standard archetypes like Esper Pixie, this next uncommon threatens to show up everywhere. Providing an efficient counterspell attached to a flier, Diversion Unit looks absolutely incredible. Sadly, it can’t counter everything, but combining this with […]
MTG Aetherdrift Spoils New Affinity Draw Spell
Thoughtcast is one of the most renowned spells in competitive Magic history. Affinity made its mark when it was a Standard legal menace and, even though it is back after the unbanning of Mox Opal, it is a mere shadow of its former self. Despite its current state, players are bound to react whenever a […]
MTG Players Disappointed With Awful Aetherdrift Mechanic Flavor
A lot of MTG players are not a fan of the Start Your Engines! mechanic. Not only does the mechanic seriously create flavor fails when printed on regal characters like Hazoret, but, despite its name, Start Your Engines! is absurdly slow. For the most part, you need to get to Max Speed for the mechanic […]
Walking Ballista Variant Spoiled for MTG Aetherdrift
Walking Ballista is the type of incredibly powerful card that players have mixed feelings about. The card has become so powerful in past metagames that it threatened a homogenizing effect over the entire format. Similar to The One Ring, Walking Ballista is colorless, meaning everyone can run it. Currently, Walking Ballista is banned in Pioneer […]
