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 […]
MTG Bloomburrow Draw Engine is Deceptively Powerful
There appear to be a lot of Bloomburrow cards that are really easy to gloss over. Many of these cards have incredibly powerful effects with a lackluster clause. If you manage to abuse the clause, then you can abuse the card. A great example of this is the new MTG Bloomburrow rare Dour Port-Mage. This […]
Elite MTG Bloomburrow Lizard is the Perfect One-Drop
Bloomburrow is releasing very soon, and if you’re a fan of adorable animals and typal synergies, you should be in for a good time. From a Constructed standpoint, however, this set seems a bit tamer than other sets we’ve seen over the last year. Frankly, this should be a nice change of pace, considering how […]
Strange “Post-Rotation” Events Showcase Unexpected Domain Dominance
As many of you may know, Standard rotation is underway. Midnight Hunt, Crimson Vow, Kamigawa, and Streets of New Capenna have all left Standard. Meanwhile, Bloomburrow cards will be joining the party very soon. Interestingly, though, there’s a weird window this weekend where, despite the fact that Bloomburrow cards aren’t available on Magic Online yet […]
New MTG Bloomburrow Clone Variant is a Powerhouse in Disguise
Over the years, a large number of Clone variants have been printed. Many of them improve upon the basic design in some way by giving the caster of the card more options. For instance, Altered Ego can enter with extra +1/+1 counters, while Clever Impersonator can copy any nonland permanent, not just a creature. Unfortunately, […]
Bloomburrow Is A Return To Form For MTG, In More Ways Than One
It’s a strange time to be a Magic: the Gathering fan right now. We’re getting more cards and products than ever before, but less time to actually play and enjoy them. With Universes Beyond getting a lot more spotlight, the core elements that define Magic as a game are shifting. It’s a state of flux, […]
Under-Supported MTG Decks Are Getting a Major Upgrade Soon
Recent MTG sets have had some absolutely fantastic mechanics. Between Plot, Disguise, and Discover, there’s been a lot to love. Despite these recent successes, both casually and in constructed formats, not every new mechanic is a winner. For better or worse, some MTG mechanics are seriously, and rather problematically parasitic. As much as the name […]
Mabel’s Journey MTG Event Brings Exclusive Bloomburrow Rewards
Story-wise, Bloomburrow is one of the most exciting MTG sets we’ve seen in years. An all-new plane, packed with all-new characters, on an all-new quest. Just what the doctor ordered after the largely derivative Murders at Karlov Manor and Outlaws of Thunder Junction. You can experience this new quest through the art and flavor of […]
Top 12 MTG Best Bloomburrow Cards Include Overlooked Uncommons
