MTG Designer Discusses Controversial Set Size Decisions
It’s impossible to ignore the fact that Magic: The Gathering has changed a lot in the past few years. Not only has the presence of Universes Beyond ramped up dramatically, but these crossover cards are now even in Standard. As if that wasn’t enough, we’re getting six Standard legal sets per year nowadays, or rather […]
Useless Returning Lorwyn MTG Creature Type Is a Dying Breed
Amidst all the Universes Beyond and radical new settings that Wizards has been experimenting with, Lorwyn Eclipsed feels like a true Magic: The Gathering set. The art, the flavor, and even the mechanics are all on point, making the set feel like a nostalgic love letter to fans. Even the set’s music video trailer has […]
MTG Designer Reveals Best and Worst Selling Sets of 2025
At long last, we’ve finally reached the end of 2025. As a year of incredible highs and lows, we definitely won’t be forgetting this year in a hurry. That said, with how many sets are releasing in 2026, it won’t be long before we’re distracted by new cards. Before then, however, it’s well worth taking […]
MTG Players Debate Removing Iconic 32-Year-Old MTG Feature
Throughout Magic’s 32 long years of history, Wizards have created plenty of things that can be classed as iconic. The Power Nine are up there, of course, but Planeswalkers are in with a fair shout too. Even lands, like Dual Lands and Fetch Lands, are undeniably iconic within the MTG sphere. While these lands have […]
MTG Designer Acknowledges Desire for Reserved List Reprints
Few things in MTG are as controversial as the Reserved List. While hatred for Universes Beyond and dud sets come and go, this list remains a continued sore spot for many players. Considering it keeps some of the game’s best and most expensive cards being obscenely rare, this controversy is entirely unsurprising. Despite constant complaints […]
MTG Designer Confirms More Bonus Sheets Amidst Quality Decline
The Avatar: The Last Airbender Source Material bonus sheet has been rather controversial, to say the least. The choice of artwork, or rather the use of screenshots from the show, has drawn immense criticism from MTG players. Despite the rather odd flavor of this bonus sheet, it’s hard to argue with the value on display. […]
Wizards Confirms At Least Five More Years of Universes Beyond MTG Sets
For the longest while, the MTG Universes Beyond initiative was unquestionably as successful as it is controversial. Final Fantasy and The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth smashed sales records, but it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. MTG Spider Man, for instance, feels like a black stain on the ever-expanding product line. Between the […]
MTG Players Vote to Bring Back Infamously Overpowered Mechanic
Throughout the 32 years that MTG has been around, no mechanic has been as controversial as Companions. Sure, Dredge, Evoke, and Delve have utterly broken formats, but these overpowered menaces still don’t come close. Companions were so bad, that the entire mechanic required an errata to make it more balanced. Even after the balancing errata, […]
MTG Designer Reveals Standalone Commander Decks Have Been Scrapped
Recently, it seems Wizards of the Coast has been dramatically cutting down on what products they produce. Masters sets have been put on hold, and direct-to-Modern sets have gone the way of the dodo. Now, the 2026 MTG release calendar consists entirely of Standard sets, with most of them being Universes Beyond. Unfortunately for those […]
MTG Designer Kills Hope for Triple-Sided Cards In 2026
The past few years have brought about a lot of innovations for Magic: The Gathering. Some of these, like Epilogue sets, were spectacular failures that didn’t even warrant a second attempt. Universes Beyond, meanwhile, has been on an absolute tear, almost going from success to success. If it weren’t for MTG Spider Man, we could […]
