MTG Lorwyn Eclipsed Leak Reveals Five-Colored Commander Precon
In a bizarre move, Magic: The Gathering players are in the middle of a preconstructed Commander deck drought. Both MTG Spider Man and Avatar: The Last Airbender shockingly had no Commander preconstructed decks for players to pick up. Considering how well received the Final Fantasy Commander decks were, this was a baffling decision. Fortunately, it […]
New Carnage MTG Card Creates Two-Card Infinite Loop
After a long wait, MTG Spider Man is finally available online. Despite the set getting a rather poor reputation in terms of power level, there are a surprising amount of cards seeing lots of day one success. While most of these cards are functioning as powerful additions to existing decks, one mediocre-looking Spider Man card […]
MTG Lorwyn Eclipsed Spoilers Appear Early Thanks to New Leak
Leaks and Magic: The Gathering really do go hand in hand. It seems we can’t get a new set without a few cards or details being unexpectedly revealed early. We’ve even seen this trend hit Secret Lair drops recently, and it doesn’t show any signs of stopping. Ahead of MagicCon: Atlanta this weekend, the first […]
New Scam Synergy Gives Popular Typal Shell Alternate Angle of Attack
Spirit typal is a well-established archetype in Pioneer. The combination of efficient, evasive creatures and disruptive elements to keep the opponent off-balance make for a strong tempo strategy. Yesterday, though, one particular Spirits decklist caught our eye. This version implements an elite new synergy that can pull you super far ahead and catch the opponent […]
MTG Designer Reveals Disappointing Commander Development
It has been almost exactly one year since Wizards of the Coast took over the Commander format. In that time, not a whole lot has changed. The controversial bans that caused this dramatic move are still in effect, and only five other cards have been unbanned. With no further changes planned until 2026, it seems […]
Five-Color Spider Legend Immediately Crushes 123-Player Event
Players are now free to play with any of the new Spider Man cards in paper. This small set has some very strong additions to a multitude of different formats. One card I did not have on my radar for competitive events, though, was Cosmic Spider-Man. This five-color legend looks like a blast for casual […]
Dominance of Vivi-Less Izzet Showcases Additional Bans May Be Necessary
A couple weeks ago, Wizards of the Coast in an unprecedented move essentially made it clear that Vivi Ornitier would be getting banned in Standard on November 10. Izzet Cauldron has dominated the format for quite some time, so this isn’t too much of a surprise. However, there’s an argument that banning just Vivi won’t […]
Forgotten 18-Year Old Zero Mana Artifact Wins Event for First Time in Years
As more cards come to Magic: The Gathering with format-warping abilities, it’s not uncommon for cards that went ignored for years to make a roaring return. This is rather common in Commander, where a new interesting Commander to build around has powerful synergies with old cards. It can also happen in competitive Magic, albeit it’s […]
MTG Spider Man Secret Lair Drop Sells Out In Under Two Hours
It’s all go for MTG Spider Man at the moment. Prerelease events for this set kicked off last weekend, and today, six brand-new Secret Lair drops were released. Unsurprisingly, as is all too common for Universes Beyond-themed Secret Lairs, it didn’t take long for things to start selling out. At the time of writing, it […]
Uniquely Rare MTG Spider Man Card Instantly Sells for $10,000+
The MTG Spider Man set feels incredibly hit or miss. If you’re not a Marvel or Spider Man fan, there’s a good chance this set isn’t exciting. Outside of a few cards, there aren’t many super staples that you need to pay attention to, and the theming makes it easy to ignore. If you are […]
