MTG Avatar Enchantment Spikes 433% Thanks to Metabreaking Deck
With Wizards of the Coast still on their holiday break, now is the perfect time to actually play MTG. We’re not getting any new spoilers until January 5th, so we’ve got just under a week of spoiler-free quiet to enjoy. Thankfully, it’s actually very easy to enjoy this quiet period, as most MTG formats are […]
Popular MTG Life Gain Commander Combo Makes Unexpected Competitive Appearance
In a Commander setting, life gain has long been a fan-favorite strategy. There are plenty of ways to take advantage of life gain effects in Commander, including with some classic infinite life drain combos. As popular as these combo kills are in Commander, however, they don’t tend to make much noise in Constructed. That said, […]
MTG Best New Cards of 2025
Over the course of 2025, a boatload of new MTG powerhouses were printed that shook up nearly every format. Most sets brought at least one multi-format staple to the table, and some cards even proved to be banworthy right out of the gates. As we reflect on all the ways MTG evolved over the last […]
MTG Metabreaker Threatens Turn 3 Kills with 16-Year-Old Mechanic
Since the release of MTG Avatar, the Standard metagame has gone through a surprising number of evolutions. Early on, it looked like Simic Aggro might dominate for a long time, only for Izzet Lessons to rise to the top of the throne at the World Championship. Now, there’s yet another archetype in contention for best […]
Multiple MTG Sleeper Enchantments Experience Major Popularity Surge
Following the Magic World Championship earlier this month, it was natural for players to be concerned about the state of Standard. We had made it through two different rounds of bans to blue and red powerhouses, only for Izzet Lessons to emerge as the most popular archetype in the format.

A hidden gem from the depths of the swamp!
MTG Players Discover Turn Three 766 Damage Combo in Standard
It’s no secret that the Standard format in MTG has had a difficult year. Not only was Universes Beyond’s introduction to the format inherently controversial, but it also gave us a true meta menace. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Vivi wasn’t the only ban-worthy combo piece released into MTG Standard this year. Thankfully, while […]
MTG Avatar Removal Sleeper Doubles as Near-Infinite Mana Generator
Back in Innistrad, Wizards of the Coast debuted the now evergreen “fight” mechanic. This keyword is perfect for decks with big creatures, and winning fights can open up the door for massive attacks. Unfortunately, though, fight spells aren’t always the most reliable, and can lead to big blowouts if a timely removal spell catches you […]
Anti Meta MTG Deck Crushes Competition With 18 Dragons
Following the World Championship, we’re at least starting to see some unique archetypes pop up in an attempt to fight the ever-evolving metagame. Unfortunately, this isn’t an easy feat, as between Izzet Lessons, Dimir Midrange, Mono-Red Aggro, and Bant Airbending, the meta is already very crowded. Despite this, MTG players are still giving it their […]
MTG Avatar Land Becomes Underrated Multi-Format Win Condition
In most modern-day MTG sets, it’s common for there to be at least one utility land cycle. Unfortunately, many recent cycles, including the mythic rare Planets from Edge of Eternities, haven’t exactly lived up to expectations. By contrast, the rare land cycle from MTG Avatar actually delivered, with most of the options seeing some Standard […]
