Potent Duskmourn Equipment is the Perfect Trump Card Against Aggro

One of the biggest developments in Standard since the release of MTG Foundations has been the massive rise in red aggro decks. Burst Lightning, Boros Charm, and co have given assertive red strategies a lot more reach. Unsurprisingly, this has forced players to adapt. If you’re playing white, Authority of the Consuls is an excellent […]

Multi-Format Mythic All-Star Sees 245% Price Spike

Screaming Nemesis

At this point, it’s no surprise that assertive red decks have grown in popularity since the release of MTG Foundations. With elite upgrades like Burst Lightning and Boltwave making their way to Standard and Pioneer, it felt inevitable that red decks would be on the rise. Not only has this caused a shakeup in the […]

MTG Assassin’s Creed Creature Cheating Engine Enters Competitive Play

Assassin’s Creed is a really strange Universes Beyond set. Despite technically being a direct-to-Modern set, few cards were strong enough to impact 60-card formats. This made the set feel like a bit of a misnomer, helping it to fly under the radar more than it did already. Miraculously, many MTG players are now paying attention […]

Foundations Serpent and Merfolk Give Elite Archetype New Angle of Attack

MTG Foundations may be structured like a core set, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a bunch of powerhouses seeing play in a variety of different formats.

The downside, of course, is that core sets are often a bit more underpowered than typical premier sets. MTG Foundations is an exception. This set is chock full […]

MTG Foundations is packed with plenty of new staples and stellar reprints which many players can’t wait to play with. Unsurprisingly, given the […]

Old-School Fan Favorite Archetype Revived with Land Destruction Package

Prior to the release of Modern Horizons sets, The Rock was a powerful choice in Modern for many years. Whether you were playing Jund to gain access to Lightning Bolt and other potent red cards or simply sticking with Golgari to have better mana, the goal was to win grindy games through incremental advantages. Unfortunately, […]

MTG Foundations Might Get Seriously Expensive

Smothering Tithe

A lot of MTG players, including myself, initially got MTG Foundations wrong. Core sets translate to snooze fests for any established fans, and that’s what MTG Foundations appeared to be. Before spoiler season started, a lot of players were sleeping on this set, and past precedent made that seem sensible. Compared to normal premier sets, […]
