“Commander Adjacent”: Alternative Formats for Commander Players to Try
It is the year 2026. Commander has become more or less synonymous with Magic as a whole, and a great many players exclusively learn and experience the game through that format.

5 Underrated Cards From Nemesis
Nemesis is often cited as one of the worst sets of all time and it is certainly an underwhelming one. Throughout all of Magic history, anytime a series of super busted sets come out – like Urza’s Block (Urza’s Saga, Urza’s Destiny, Urza’s Legacy) – the game’s designers tend to overcorrect and give us a super powered down set. Masques …
