Incredible Duskmourn Uncommons Are Magic’s Latest Signal of Power Creep
Over the years, it’s no surprise that power creep has been increasing immensely. Jace, the Mind Sculptor, once considered the pinnacle of Planeswalkers and one of the strongest cards printed in the Modern era, has been completely blown out of the water by card advantage engines like The One Ring. Smuggler’s Copter, a card that […]
MTG Duskmourn Introduces 10-Power Three Drop
Overstatted creatures have been becoming more and more common in MTG nowadays. While a four-mana 5/5 creature with an upside was unbelievable back in the day, multiple examples of these cards exist now. The mana value of these cards isn’t even that restrictive. Creating a ten power creature for three mana that is unblockable, however, […]
MTG Duskmourn Store Championship Promos Are a Big Downgrade
Going into 2024, Wizards of the Coast made some big adjustments to try and save Standard. Perhaps the most notable change was switching all future Store Championships to the Standard format.

MTG Duskmourn Introduces New Hexproof Enchantment Land
Lotus Field is absolutely terrifying. It also happens to be my favorite card. Leveraging three mana on tap and boasting Hexproof, this land can be rather difficult to deal with. Combine it with untap effects, and you generate a disgusting amount of resources. Despite its uses, the card only functions because it is Hexproof. If […]

MTG Bans Cause New Staple to See 450% Price Increase
Monday’s ban announcement was almost exactly what players wanted. Between Rakdos Vampires haunting Pioneer, Nadu, Winged Wisdom dominating Modern, and Legacy players being forced under Grief’s foot, a lot of players were unhappy. Thankfully, bans addressed all of these problems. This means that a lot of old decks that were suppressed by the power of […]
Wizards Admits Recently Banned MTG Card Was a Design Mistake
Yesterday, a long-anticipated ban announcement finally put a stop to the Modern menace that was Nadu, Winged Wisdom. Since the Pro Tour, Nadu has completely dominated Modern play. Thanks to the presence of cards like Shuko that can target your own creatures for zero mana, Nadu’s combo potential was through the roof. Interestingly, though, Nadu’s […]
Problematic MTG Super Staple Just Got Even Worse
The One Ring is a problematically flavorful MTG card. Not only was there the One-of-One Ring, but it’s apparently unkillable. Maybe we should have thrown it into a volcano after all. The latest evidence of this indestructibility comes in the form of it avoiding yet another ban. Despite being the most popular, and arguably powerful, […]
