Massive Unbans Turbocharge Blazing Fast Budget MTG Archetype
This past Monday, Modern and Legacy players awaited a ban announcement that felt inevitable.

MTG Players Concerned by Missing Bans to Hostile Format
Yesterday morning, Wizards of the Coast announced a massive shakeup to a variety of Constructed formats.

MTG Designer Claims Controversial Standard Plan is “Going Well”
Standard is undeniably in a decent spot right now when it comes to diversity. While Dimir decks are more popular than what is necessarily ideal, there are still a wide variety of different decks that are all competitively viable.
