Saga is an Enchantment subtype that was originally introduced in 2018’s Dominaria. Flavorfully, they represent episodic stories that are told chapter-by-chapter. Mechanically, this means that Sagas stick around for a few turns granting you an effect every turn, until the story is complete, at which point they get sacrificed. I have been thinking a lot about Sagas because in the …
You may have heard that Coalition Victory and several other cards got unbanned in Commander last week. This is a big deal, since the card had been illegal in the format for almost two decades, originally getting banned in 2007. More than two years ago, I wrote an article titled “Why is Coalition Victory Banned in Commander?” and in it I …
Magic is a very popular game, so it’s no surprise that the game is always getting new players. In fact, the potential for new players might be at its highest ever as Universes Beyond sets have become commonplace. Whatever you may think about those types of sets, which are based on non-Magic intellectual properties, it has to be acknowledged that …
Tarkir: Dragonstorm came out on April 11th, and a set that revisits an already established plane wouldn’t be complete without some references to older cards. So, it’s no surprise that we got a callback to what is arguably the most iconic card from the original Khans of Tarkir – Siege Rhino. Skirmish Rhino is a slightly smaller version of its …
Tarkir: Dragonstorm releases in just a few days – on April 11th. While the set features lots of new and powerful cards that are likely to make an impact on Commander, there’s also one reprint in the set that aficionados of 100-card format are pretty excited for: Craterhoof Behemoth. I love the new art, but is anyone else kind of …
Tarkir: Dragonstorm releases on April 11th, and the set features 5 brand new Commander precons – one for each of the plane’s iconic clans. In this article, I’ll be reviewing the Temur Roar deck and discussing some of the ways you can make it even better. The Temur are all about fighting and they especially have an affinity for ferocious …
Tarkir: Dragonstorm releases on April 11th, and with it we are receiving 5 Commander precons – one for each of the plane’s three-color clans. In this article I’ll be discussing the Sultai Arisen deck. Unsurprisingly, this deck is all about the graveyard. You want to load it up, and turn it into an incredible resource that generates all kinds of …
Tarkir: Dragonstorm releases on April 11th. Preview season is well underway, and we also got the concluding chapter of the set’s story earlier this week. The story focuses on the efforts of the newly reformed clans of Tarkir to put an end to the formation of destructive dragonstorms on the plane. These are highly destructive storms that spawn dragons that …
Tarkir: Dragonstorm is so close I can smell the fire and brimstone. It’s so close that the pre-sale has begun here at Card Kingdom! Only a handful of cards have been revealed so far, but one of the first ones they showed us is a doozy – Stormscale Scion. It comes packing one of the most powerful mechanics in the …
Tarkir: Dragonstorm is just around the corner. In fact, Card Kingdom’s presale kicks off today! In this much-anticipated set, we’ll be returning to the plane of Tarkir for the first time since 2015. To get us in the mood for the set, I’ve written a few articles recently about the older Tarkir sets. A few weeks back, I took a …
