Aetherdrift Upgrades Help Revive Old MTG Standard Deck in Alternate Format
Back when Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths released, one of the most feared decks in Standard was Cycling. By pairing elite assertive threats with a card that can singlehandedly end the game in Zenith Flare, the Cycling deck was extremely robust and versatile. Unfortunately, when Ikoria rotated out of Standard, Cycling went by the wayside. There […]
MTG Best Pioneer Decks – February 2025
The Pioneer format is in a rather positive place right now. Previously, Pioneer was plagued by overpowered cards and dominant decks, but the times have changed. Thanks to recent bans, the Pioneer metagame has been shaken up dramatically, so we’re seeing a lot more innovation and variety. This makes it a great time to get […]
Disastrous MTG Toy Car Secret Lair Offers Worst Value This Year
Sadly, it seems that not every MTG Secret Lair can be a hit. It seems the new Aether Drifters Secret Lair was determined to prove this point. From a value perspective, this drop looks incredibly disappointing, although the aesthetics are fantastic. With a reprint value barely scraping $10, it may be difficult to justify buying […]
Surging Green Devotion Brew Incorporates Blue MTG Monster
Mono-green Devotion is a powerful archetype in Pioneer that has been on the rise in recent weeks. Its potent mix of explosiveness and top end makes the deck quite strong. We’ve also seen Abhorrent Oculus‘s stock rise in Pioneer in recent weeks, thanks to its presence in the Simic Neoform deck. What we did not […]

It may come as a shock to some, but MTG Aetherdrift spoiler season is now over. With prerelease being a week away, it’s worth looking at what the strongest cards in Aetherdrift appear to be. If you want to try these cards for yourself, prerelease will be the first opportunity to try and assemble your […]
Elite Esper Deck Abuses Multiple Long Forgotten Enchantments
Esper and Dimir self-bounce shells have become a force to be reckoned with in Standard. By returning enchantments to your hand with potent enters-the-battlefield triggers, it’s easy to generate an absurd amount of value. Recently, though, we’ve started seeing similar ideas pop up in Pioneer. In fact, a unique take on Esper bounce managed to […]
Spicy Aetherdrift Demon May Finally Justify Lackluster MTG Mechanic
Maybe the engines are worth starting after all…
MTG Aetherdrift Spoils New Affinity Draw Spell
Thoughtcast is one of the most renowned spells in competitive Magic history. Affinity made its mark when it was a Standard legal menace and, even though it is back after the unbanning of Mox Opal, it is a mere shadow of its former self. Despite its current state, players are bound to react whenever a […]
MTG Aetherdrift Spoilers Boast Fun Vehicles with Unlimited Potential
Aetherdrift’s release is coming up on us awfully fast, and the set looks quite intriguing. The new mechanics like Exhaust and Start Your Engines! are very unique and fit the racing theme of the set quite well. Of course, no racing set would be complete without a plethora of vehicles to go around. Tons of […]
Elite MTG Aetherdrift Merfolk is a Multi-Format Upgrade
Merfolk is one of MTG’s most beloved creature types. From nostalgic designs like Lord of Atlantis to powerful recent upgrades like Vodalian Hexcatcher, there’s no shortage of neat Merfolk options. Yet, at the same time, Merfolk is far from a top tier strategy in any Constructed format at the moment. The archetype pops up from […]
