MTG Designer Crushes Hopes For Future Masters Sets
It’s a rough road for reprints ahead…
Exciting Beast Combo Deck Maximizes 8 Planets
One of the most interesting groups of cards in Edge of Eternities is the cycle of mythic rare Planets. It takes a lot to fully power up cards like Evendo, Waking Haven, but the reward can be quite high for doing so. Still, while these lands have some appeal in Commander, it was hard to […]
MTG Players Vow to Boycott Accessory Supplier After Multiple Controversies
One of the best bits about Magic: The Gathering is the immense freedom that players have when deck-building. When picking between formats, archetypes, and individual deck construction, there’s no end of decisions to be made. After that, it’s a question of how to protect, store, and accessorize your latest beloved creation. This is where Magic’s […]
Once-Great Archetype Makes Huge Comeback In Post-Rotation Standard
You can’t keep a good Pixie down!
Poor Secret Lair Foiling Causes Massive Player Complaint
Despite the massive growth in Wizards of the Coast’s Secret Lair sub-brand, the growing pains that came with it are startlingly obvious.

Between Edge of Eternities providing new toys and rotation being ushered in, Standard has seen a fairly sizable shake-up.

Izzet Cauldron, Dimir Midrange, and even Esper Pixie are all familiar faces in the meta at this point. Thankfully, […]
Flexible New Card Advantage Engine Emerges as Multi-Format Staple
This year has been revolutionary when it comes to efficient sources of card draw. Earlier in the year, we were given Stock Up, which quickly became a multi-format staple. Stock Up’s ability to dig for your strongest tools in such a cheap manner made it one of the strongest sources of card advantage we’ve seen […]
Powerful New MTG Mana Rock Sparks “Auto-Include” Fears
Are the walls of Commander closing in?
28-Year Old MTG Rare is an Undiscovered Commander Super Staple
For myself, and many of the Commander players that I play with, one of the format’s most exciting aspects is finding an obscure, but powerful card that no one has ever seen before. Suddenly, your new tech is revealed at the table, and everyone needs a few moments to read the strange forgotten text you […]
New Standard Artifacts Deck Assembles Insane Synergies
During Edge of Eternities spoiler season, some players were hopeful that the set would have what it takes to make Standard artifacts a top tier archetype. With payoffs like Pinnacle Emissary working their way into the format, this didn’t feel too far-fetched. Interestingly, though, Pinnacle Emissary really hasn’t panned out in a Standard setting as […]
