MTG Common Fixes Failing Breakout Combo Deck
Two combo decks were at the forefront of Pro Tour Modern Horizons 3. One of the two decks, Nadu, Winged Wisdom combo, went on to dominate the entire event. The deck performed so well, that Nadu actually became cheaper after the Pro Tour. This is due to players expecting it to be banned at the […]

Early MTG Assassin’s Creed All-Star Spikes Over 360%!
It’s safe to say that the MTG Assassin’s Creed set didn’t have the best start in life.
