It’s time for another Fringe Format! This time Chris takes a look at a format that could be called two-player Cube: Battle Box! Battle Box is probably not a format that a ton of folks out there know about. But if you like playing Limited Magic, and specifically Cube, it’s one you should get to know. Mostly because Battle Box …
Sagas, in Magic and in life, are meant to tell a story. While sagas are among the oldest forms of formalized storytelling that exist in human history, in Magic, they’re pretty new. First appearing in Dominaria in 2018, they’ve appeared every year since. They almost missed 2019, but Urza’s Saga in Modern Horizons kept the streak going. They have now …
Double Masters 2022 is a reprint set, which means old cards get fancy new art…sometimes from some familiar names! Being a set composed entirely of reprints, Double Masters 2022 can’t give us much that counts as purely new. All the cards already exist (with a lone exception for Cryptic Spires), so while previews allow for excitement over some welcome reprints, there’s …

Literally, it’s Party Time, this is an article about how to upgrade the Party Time Precon from Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate without breaking the bank. Ahem. …
Sometimes it’s nice to be mean. Chris lets out his inner misanthrope and builds a couple EDH versions of the villainous Jon Irenicus! Being the bad guy in a game of EDH can be a tricky prospect – at least if you want to be invited back to the same table. Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate offers up a …
CLB Previews start tomorrow! Chris is here with a quick recap of the Baldur’s Gate story, and some predictions for the new set! Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate previews start tomorrow, but I’m writing this a few days in the past, so I’m going to do something maybe a little foolish: I’m going to make some predictions that might …
Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate is right around the corner! Ahead of previews next week, Chris looks at what we already know. Streets of New Capenna is fully out in the wild, and while we’re having a blast with all the new goodies it brings, we also try to keep an eye on what’s coming up. Commander Legends: Battle …
In Fringe Format, Chris looks at a lesser-known way to play Magic! This time, we climb the heights of the most rules-heavy format possible: it’s Judge’s Tower!

Commander will always be the most successful …
