Two MTG Bloomburrow Otters Help Resurrect Powerful Combo Deck from the Dead
Bloomburrow is finally here, and we’re now getting our first glimpse at how these cards might impact various Constructed formats. On the surface, Bloomburrow doesn’t appear to be an outrageously powerful set. Nonetheless, there are still some gems worth building around. Today, we’re going to highlight a specific Pioneer combo deck that got a major […]
New MTG Bonus Cards Improve Already Impressive Value
Outside of the now sold-out Monty Python and the Holy Grail drop, Inside an Elevator didn’t look great. The vast majority of this latest Superdrop was sorely lacking in value. The only exceptions to this rule were the trio of Brain Dead crossover drops. Sadly, these cards didn’t look great for another reason, as the […]
MTG Bloomburrow Box Topper Sees Surprising Price Spike
The Bloomburrow MTG Box Topper was a rather weird choice. Generally, Box Toppers in MTG sets are either an exclusive Standard legal card or a special variant of an existing card available elsewhere. This time around, Wizards of the Coast has decided to make the Bloomburrow Box Topper a Commander legal exclusive, making Flubs, the […]
Bloomburrow Play Boosters Have A Major Value Problem
If you took part in a Bloomburrow Prerelease event last weekend, you may have noticed something a little different about your packs this time around. Less interesting card treatments, perhaps, or less valuable cards in general. You may have chalked this up to pure bad luck, but it’s actually nothing of the sort. Bloomburrow Play […]
Rotated Standard MTG Deck Begins Flexing Its Muscles in Older Formats
Coinciding with the arrival of Bloomburrow, Standard is officially in its post-rotation state. This past weekend, even before Bloomburrow cards were implemented on Magic Online, we got a glimpse of what strategies might best survive and thrive with rotation happening. To our surprise, Domain decks performed quite well, even with the loss of “Triome” variants […]
Massively Downgraded MTG Arena Rewards Are a Huge Disappointment
Recently, Wizards of the Coast has been doing their best to pull MTG Arena players away from their devices. Dangling free rewards like a carrot on a stick, Arena players have been able to earn in-game rewards by attending WPN-sanctioned MTG events. Previously, these have been a great way to encourage in-person play while receiving […]
Problematic MTG Frog May be Poised for an Unhealthy Takeover
Over the past few years, we’ve seen a ton of absolutely incredible creatures get printed and change common play dynamics in Modern and Legacy. We are long past the days where Young Pyromancer was a premier two-drop option. Now, we have cards like Orcish Bowmasters that blow old threats out of the water. Yet, as […]
Shambolic 5 Cent Bonus Card Sets A New Low For Secret Lair
Secret Lair Bonus Cards have always been fairly hit or miss. Even early on, some players were opening up random bulk Elves while others got rare Relentless Rats variants with prices in the hundreds of dollars. You’d think these discrepancies would get better over time, but in fact, the opposite seems to be true. Case […]
MTG Vehicle Sees 818% Increase Thanks to Expensive Assassin’s Creed Commander!
Nautiloid Ship is seeing a massive price spike thanks to the most expensive card in the MTG Assassin’s Creed crossover. Over the last month, the card has spiked from $1.96 to $12! Many players thought that the Assassin’s Creed set wouldn’t boast anything interesting for a majority of formats. The power level of the set […]
Silver-Bordered Cards Might be Coming to MTG Commander
Another Quarterly update has come and gone from the Commander Advisory Group. Tasked with overlooking the most popular format in all of Magic, there is certainly a lot to consider. Thanks to the nature of ‘Rule Zero,’ nothing has been banned or unbanned in the Commander format for a number of years. Now, we have […]
