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 Multi-Format Avatar Sleeper Combines Reanimation and Destruction

Since its release, MTG Avatar Jumpstart has had a pretty big impact on both Commander and Legacy. Powerhouses like Katara, Waterbending Master received a lot of hype during spoiler season, and it didn’t take long before players found some nice homes for them.

Multiple Banned Commons Reappear in MTG Turbo-Mill Combo Deck

Over the years, many of the most abusable blue mana accelerants have been banned in Pauper. Cloud of Faeries, for example, earned a ban back in 2016 largely because of how easy it was to generate infinite mana in Azorius Familiars shells.

Avatar: The Last Airbender released some incredibly powerful MTG cards into the ecosystem.

Badgermole Cub is certainly the talk of the town, but […]

Extremely Early MTG Marvel Superheroes Announcement Revealed

December is typically a quieter month for Magic: The Gathering players. The final set of the year is already available at this point, so we rarely get much until the new year.

Hate pieces play an extremely important role in Magic: The Gathering. With Magic’s ever-growing card pool, it’s rather common for an off-the-wall strategy to break out that uses extremely bizarre interactions. In these cases, traditional removal spells may not be enough to contain the strategy. Heck, when lands are involved, not even countermagic can help […]
