MTG Players Optimistically Request More Silver Bordered Un-Cards
Un-Sets and cards have always had a special place in the hearts of many MTG players. Since their debut in 1998’s Unglued, these sets have always featured off-the-wall wackiness that gleefully broke Magic’s rules. Due to this, these MTG cards, unsurprisingly, weren’t tournament legal and had a special silver border to denote that. Fast forward […]
MTG Designer Confirms 50/50 Set Split Going Forward
Whether you love it or hate it, Universes Beyond is here to stay. Thankfully, over recent years, the sentiment around this product line has trended toward positive.

MTG Designer Discusses Planeswalkers Potentially Becoming Commanders
Recently, MTG players were shocked by the news of a major rules change coming to Commander. When Edge of Eternities launches, Legendary Vehicles and Spacecraft will become legal Commander options.

Infamous MTG Mechanic Is Becoming a Standard Mainstay
Affinity has long been one of MTG’s most infamous mechanics.

New MTG Wording Change Allows Artifacts and More to Die
The language of Magic: The Gathering is constantly evolving, whether players like it or not.

While both of these […]
MTG Designer Reassures Players Following Final Fantasy Supply Issues
Final Fantasy is an absolute monster of a Magic: The Gathering set. The set is still almost a month away from being released, but it’s already breaking records.

Interestingly, despite the wedge theme and each clan getting its own Commander Precon, Tarkir: […]
MTG Designer Confirms Proper Visit to Fan-Favorite Plane is Inevitable
We’re not even halfway into 2025, and we’ve already been all over this year. Tarkir: Dragonstorm has given us a blast from the past, and Aetherdrift took us to three planes at once.

MTG Head Designer Discusses Land Destruction Replacement
Land destruction has been a big part of Magic for as long as the game has existed. Cards like Armageddon and Stone Rain were introduced all the way back in Alpha. Since then, tons of land destruction spells of all different mana costs have been printed. More recently, though, Wizards has begun experimenting with different […]
