MTG Spider Man Villain Spikes 205% Thanks to Firebending Synergy
Despite being dormant during spoiler season, MTG Avatar is really moving the finance markets right now. Recently, we’ve seen a number of new Commanders cause impressive price spikes across a variety of archetypes. Curiously, while Earthbending is the mechanic moving mountains in competitive formats, many of these Commander-based spikes are thanks to Firebending. MTG Electro, […]
Banned MTG Bird and Spider Man Team Up to Dominate 972-Player Event
It didn’t take long for players to figure out just how broken Nadu, Winged Wisdom was. The card quickly earned a ban in Modern, and this past Monday, was finally deemed too powerful for Legacy. Even traditional Commander players don’t get to make use of the Bird powerhouse. One format where the card does remain […]
Spider Man Uncommon Unexpectedly Appears in Magic’s Most Powerful Format
For quite some time, graveyard decks have been a pillar of the Vintage format. While Dredge is currently the most popular graveyard strategy, Vengevine shells aren’t too far behind. Interestingly, even though Vintage offers a vast card pool and these archetypes have been well-established for years, there’s still room for players to innovate. In a […]
MTG Spider Man Powerhouse Gives Rise to Mono-White Convoke Combo Brew
It’s now been over a month since MTG Spider Man cards became tournament legal, and it’s become clear that one of the most impactful cards from the set is Arachne, Psionic Weaver. The card quickly gave rise to a sweet combo deck in Pioneer that has been consistently putting up results ever since. As it […]
Underrated Spider Man Value Engine Emerges as Multi-Format All-Star
By many metrics, MTG Spider Man was a pretty unsuccessful set. It was small, the Limited environment was extremely unbalanced, and the vibes surrounding the set were ultimately disappointing. In spite of this, however, the set has had a surprisingly big impact on Constructed. While some of these powerful new designs received some hype during […]
Spider Man Legend Spikes 214% Thanks to Elite Standard Synergies
At the moment, Standard is far from being in an ideal position thanks to the continued dominance of Izzet Cauldron and Mono-Red Aggro. Things are so bad that some local stores are having trouble even firing Standard Regional Championship Qualifier events due to the lack of interest in the format. That being said, there has […]
Wizards Admits to MTG Spider Man Survey Mistake Following Backlash
The MTG Spider Man set has really been through the thick of it. From the get-go, MTG players weren’t happy with this set’s unique theming and visuals. As time passed and more information was revealed, things worsened. Unfortunately, things haven’t exactly gotten better post-release. With a lackluster competitive impact, Collector Booster price crashes, and now […]
MTG Spider Man Anti-Hero Causes Unusual 470% Price Spike
Despite being Magic’s first big Marvel crossover, the Spider Man MTG set has been a bit of a disaster. Between Through the Omenpaths, the new Pick-Two Draft format, and scalping, this set has been plagued by problems. Due to this, it’s little surprise the set hasn’t had the impact on the MTG financial markets that […]
27-Year-Old Enchantment Spikes 952% Thanks to New Spider Man Combo
As a whole, MTG Spider Man was not the most well-received set. The Limited format was extremely unbalanced and the concept of having different versions of cards for online and in-person play rubbed a lot of players the wrong way. Even without the set living up to expectations, though, MTG Spider Man still had a […]
Mono White Phyrexian Obliterator Spikes 247% Due to MTG Spider Man
It’s no secret that MTG Spider Man is a rather unusual set. Originally designed to be a smaller Beyond Booster release, Wizards had to beef up this set to make it draftable. This also led to the creation of Pick Two, like licensing issues caused MTG Arena to get an awkward reskinned set. Thanks to […]
