MTG Players Disappointed by Unplayable Two-Mana 8/8
Personally, I absolutely love the mini-spoiler seasons that Alchemy sets get. Honestly, I might even enjoy them more than main-set spoilers. Seeing what the MTG Arena design team can come up with is always a real treat, especially when things get weird. As much as I love them, however, I understand not everyone loves Alchemy […]
Former Standard Staple Spikes 673% Following Aetherdrift Resurgence
In its heyday, Raffine, Scheming Seer was an absolute monster of an MTG card.

MTG Designer Defends Reapearrance of Broken Dragonstorm Mechanic
The Storm Scale is a list created by legendary MTG designer Mark Rosewater that depicts how likely a specific MTG mechanic is to make a return.

MTG Aetherdrift Draw Spell Spikes 1857% After Pro Tour Win
Pro Tour Aetherdrift turned out to be quite a surprising turn of events. Rather than Esper Pixie running rampant, Domain Overlords stole the show, winning the event in the hands of Matt Mass.
