MTG Players Divided By Missing Reminder Text on Cards
Magic: The Gathering is an incredibly complex game. With thousands of new cards and 10+ new mechanics released each year, this complexity is ever-increasing.

MTG Players Outraged By Unexpected Universes Beyond Increase
A lot of MTG players seem to have a love-hate relationship with Universes Beyond.

MTG Designer Asks if Anything Can Change Anti-Universes Beyond Sentiment
It’s no secret that a lot of MTG players don’t like Universes Beyond. Whenever a new set, Secret Lair, or Commander deck there are always naysayers bemoaning the death of Magic.

MTG Designer Reveals Universes Beyond Cards Could be Pulled From Standard
When it was first announced, the Universes Beyond product line was almost universally despised. Things really didn’t get off to a good start as the initial The Walking Dead Secret Lair was fraught with issues and controversy.

MTG Designer Reveals Draft Matters Cards Are Due to Return
Throughout the years, Wizards of the Coast has created and released all manner of innovation products.
