Wizards Nerfs Multiple Frustrating MTG Designs

There’s a lot to love about MTG Arena. The very fact that it lets you easily play MTG games from home is a godsend, for instance. On top of this, the client even has its own formats, such as Alchemy, Brawl, Historic, and Timeless. As is true of all MTG formats, each of these has […]

New MTG Aetherdrift Spoiler Floods the Board with Random Creatures

It’s now been a few weeks since Aetherdrift was released on MTG Arena, but for fans of Alchemy and Historic, there’s still more in store. Another collection of cards is being added to the client in just a couple of days. Alchemy: Aetherdrift consists of 30 new cards that could provide a shakeup to multiple […]

MTG Alchemy Spoilers Reveal Paper Playable Card and Infinite Monkeys

Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer | Modern Horizons 2

While they were once hated and easily dismissed, Alchemy cards are worth paying attention to nowadays. Not only do they have the potential to warp Historic and Timeless, but, technically, they can become real too. Mystery Booster 2 gave us our first taste of Alchemy Acorn cards, and there’s little reason to stop there. Now […]

MTG Players Disappointed by Unplayable Two-Mana 8/8

Mitotic Ultimus | Alchemy: Aetherdrift

Personally, I absolutely love the mini-spoiler seasons that Alchemy sets get. Honestly, I might even enjoy them more than main-set spoilers.

Synergistic Saga May Revolutionize MTG Token Combo Shell

Cards from the Aetherdrift main set have been out for a while at this point, and it’s clear that the set is quite powerful. For MTG Arena enthusiasts, however, there’s actually still more to look forward to. Alchemy: Aetherdrift is scheduled to release March 4, and a few spoilers have recently made their way out […]

Digital MTG Cards Infecting Multiple Formats is a Major Disappointment

Assemble The Team

Since its inception, Alchemy has been a relatively unpopular format with a niche community of enthusiasts. The concept of being able to play with cards on Arena that wouldn’t really work in paper is interesting. However, players generally gravitate towards Standard or Historic on the client. Many players who aren’t fans of Alchemy simply want […]

MTG Designer Reveals Controversial Format Isn’t Dying Soon

Break Expectations

At the moment, there’s no question that Standard is Wizards of the Coast’s favorite format. Not only is it receiving tons of competitive support throughout 2025, but it’s getting more sets than ever before. Since Universes Beyond sets are now Standard legal, the format will be getting more cards, and players, than ever before. Should […]

MTG Foundations May Kill a Controversially Beloved Format

Wagon Wrecker | Alchemy: Outlaws of Thunder Junction

Out of all the MTG sets released in 2024, Foundations is arguably the most important by a wide margin. This is no small feat considering that the Assassin’s Creed set and Modern Horizons 3 launched this year. Nonetheless, Foundations promises to lay the groundwork for Magic going forward, in more ways than one. For starters, […]
