Recently, one particular rare card […]
MTG Dragon Puts Stun Counters on Lands
For a set all about Dragons, Tarkir: Dragonstorm has not presented a lot of playable ones. As cool as some of the new massive Dragons, like Ureni, the Song Unending, are they are outclassed by other threats currently legal in every format. Atraxa, Grand Unifier is an extremely difficult late-game bomb to top. Fortunately, one […]

20 Tarkir: Dragonstorm Spoilers Reveals Anointed Procession Planeswalker
Tarkir: Dragonstorm spoiler season is finally here, and the new cards are just as absurd as expected. Mox Jasper certainly created some high expectations for the set and Tarkir: Dragonstorm has certainly delivered. The two Planeswalkers for this set are particularly ridiculous, but there’s a lot more than that to see. In total, Wizards revealed […]

MTG Aetherdrift One-Drop Revolutionizes Popular Archetype
Since the release of Bloomburrow, red aggro decks have been a formidable force in both Standard and Pioneer. The “valiant” package involving cards like Heartfire Hero made red decks exceptionally explosive. Most decklists in Pioneer since Bloomburrow’s release have featured either a black splash or green splash for cards like Callous Sell-Sword or Innkeeper’s Talent. […]
New Reverse Collected Company is an MTG Powerhouse
Back in Dragons of Tarkir Standard, Collected Company gave rise to one of the format’s strongest archetypes. Getting to put multiple threats with enters-the-battlefield effects into play at instant speed made the card incredibly difficult for the opponent to play around. Since Collected Company’s reign of terror, we’ve seen multiple four-mana cards printed that resemble […]
Wizards Needs to Unban These MTG Cards
Back in December 2024, a multitude of changes shook up the competitive landscape of various Constructed formats. Modern, in particular, was seriously shaken up by not just bans but a series of unbans as well. Unfortunately, while these bans did make Modern incredibly interesting, for a time, they’ve not been faultless. Right now, Modern is […]
Old-School MTG Zombie Typal Deck Dominates Out of Nowhere
When it comes to Pioneer, one style of archetype that has largely fallen off the map in recent years is typal. Decks like mono-blue Spirits that used to be elite are nearly nonexistent at this point. Mono-white Humans is still around in small numbers, but it’s still rare to see a typal deck of any […]
MTG Tarkir Dragonstorm Teasers Drop Next Week
Tarkir: Dragonstorm is Magic’s latest Standard-legal tentpole set. Scheduled for a full release on April 11, there isn’t much time left before Magic’s various formats get entirely taken over by Dragons from Tarkir.
