MTG Dragonstorm Card Creates Standard Dragon Cascade Combo Deck
Tarkir: Dragonstorm has a lot of Dragons in it, but they don’t seem particularly competitive. Considering that Dragon Typal is one of the most popular MTG archetypes, this is a crying shame. If Dragon Typal was viable, it could get a lot of players going out to LGSs for their weekly Standard night. One bizarre […]
MTG Spider-Man Card Can Be a Crazy Draw Engine
Last weekend, the MTG Spider-Man set surprisingly broke cover when a Scene Box was revealed out of the blue. Containing six cards, none of which are Standard-legal, this was Wizards’ opportunity to wow players. Despite this, most of the cards in Spidey’s Spectacular Showdown Scene Box are pretty meh. Beyond not being all too powerful, […]
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 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 […]
MTG Hatepiece Contains Hidden Function
Grafdigger’s Cage is one of the oldest hate pieces in Magic. Graveyard strategies have always been powerful, and this little artifact can stop them in their tracks. Once in play, casting spells from your deck or graveyard becomes impossible, and creatures cannot enter play from either zone. Grafdigger’s Cage has, understandably, seen a heavy increase […]

One-Hit KO Combo Revives Dead MTG Equipment Deck
The recent Modern bans and unbans have completely shaken up the format. Considering many MTG players wrote off the format entirely before the bans occurred, Wizards has certainly reinvigorated the format’s player base. Four cards were unbanned in the Modern format, and each may revive strategies from past eras of the Modern metagame. Among the […]
MTG Arena Championship Reveals Worryingly Dominant Strategy
Standard is currently a great format – or so it seems. Lots of different decks with different strategies are perfectly viable in the format. No objectively broken deck has caused the format to become stale (looking at you, Modern), and the format encourages deep, interactive games that can be won by a small margin. Even […]
The Biggest Magic: The Gathering Mistakes of 2024
Despite Magic: The Gathering being the most popular trading card game in North America, it certainly makes a lot of mistakes. Mistakes need to be made to learn from to improve anything, but the sheer size of the mistakes made by a billion-dollar brand sometimes has us shaking our heads. While 2024 seems to have […]
MTG Just Spoiled Snapcaster Mage’s Older Brother
MTG players really wanted to see a Snapcaster Mage reprint in the Foundations set. A certain hint from MTG designer Mark Rosewater suggested that this would be a possibility. With the information we have now, this hint was probably alluding to the reprint of Solemn Simulacrum appearing in MTG Foundations. That said, Snapcaster Mage fans […]
