Upcoming MTG Bans Threaten to Complicate Tarkir Spoiler Season
Tarkir: Dragonstorm is now right around the corner. Story chapters for the set are already being revealed this week, and we’ve even had an early spoiler because of it. Officially, the set’s spoiler season isn’t due to start until March 18th. However, that’s not far away now. Unfortunately, while there’s plenty to be excited about, […]
Dead MTG One-Shot Kill Wins Event in New Format
Hammertime’s reign in Modern is long over. The fan-favorite archetype has its diehard fans who occasionally make a dent in larger events. The deck even got a massive buff in recent days since Mox Opal was unbanned. Sadly, even that was not enough to bring Hammertime back from the dead. Instead, Hammertime’s true format might […]
MTG Card Repurposed as Top Secret Discard Counter
Most MTG cards have obvious usages. Every card is designed to synergize well in certain formats, or with other cards. Occasionally, players will find a way to use a card for something outside its apparent purpose. These bizarre usages can give an MTG card new life, and commonly lead to a card becoming very powerful. […]
MTG X Final Fantasy One-Drop has Massive Misaligned Potential
Cecil, Dark Knight was, for many, the most impressive card during MTG X Final Fantasy first look. One mana is a great start for any card, and Cecil has some powerful synergies that could put in on the map for a few different formats. Sadly, while this is the case, Cecil may be bizarrely out […]
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. While some mechanics, like Flying or Menace, are essentially guaranteed to appear in any set, other mechanics can be rather harmful to Magic’s ecosystem. Take Dredge, for example. The […]
Vehicle Combo Deck Flourishes with Underrated Aetherdrift Artifact
It’s no secret that Aetherdrift cards have played a major role in the metagame developments in Standard and Modern. In Standard, new archetypes have arisen thanks to powerhouses like Afterburner Expert, and well-established strategies have gotten some elite upgrades. In Modern, Ketramose, the New Dawn is a force to be reckoned with. The one format […]
Absurd Dragonstorm Removal Spell Will Create New Archetypes
We may have only seen a handful of cards so far, but Tarkir: Dragonstorm already looks like a flashy MTG set. Between a new Mox effect, a literal Dragon with Storm, and a series of exciting and powerful abilities, this looks like a high-power Standard-legal set. While the new Mox is definitely the flashiest Tarkir […]
MTG X Avatar: The Last Airbender Crossover Revealed
MTG Arena fans caught it early. Back in January, Arena gave a slight hint that a crossover with Nikelodean’s series could be on the way thanks to a sneaky shop sale. Considering that Spongebob is getting its very own Secret Lair drop this year, this suggestion didn’t seem so outlandish. Miraculously, it turns out that […]
MagicCon: Chicago Spoilers Reveal New Mox Card For Dragons
Dragons of Tarkir was the star of the show during MagicCon: Chicago’s preview panel. This set looks incredibly powerful from its first look. Whether you want uncounterable removal that drains your opponent for life, or a new Mox, Tarkir Dragonstorm has everything. Clans and Dragons alike have returned to create, what appears to be, one […]
MTG Final Fantasy Creature Grants +9999 Power
MTG Final Fantasy’s First Look has come and gone, and Wizards of the Coast has seriously delivered. On top of spoiling some mechanically awesome MTG cards, there are tons of flavorful references too. It seems both MTG fans and Final Fantasy fans have reason to be impressed today. As suspected, despite only being a first […]
