What Happened in the Duskmourn Story?
Duskmourn: House of Horror releases on September 27th, and it’s set on a brand new plane with the same name. It’s a world inspired by modern horror tropes, so it’s just in time for spooky season! The plane is entirely contained within the walls of a frightening and sentient haunted mansion. This makes Duskmourn one of the most terrifying planes …
5 Underrated Commander Cards From Theros
Duskmourn: House of Horrors preview season is almost upon us. From what we’ve seen so far, it appears to be an Enchantment-heavy set, even featuring Enchantment creatures – something that we usually only see on the plane of Theros. This led me to start thinking about original Theros. Overall, it’s been a highly successful set when it comes to just …
Are “For the Rest of the Game” Effects Good for Magic?
Static effects that stay in effect for the remainder of the game are pretty rare in Magic. But one such card has been revealed in the early preview for Duskmourn: House of Horrors.

5 Underrated Commander Cards From Onslaught

The Cutest Animals in Magic
Bloomburrow is a set filled with tons of very cute critters. I don’t think any of them are cuter than Warren Warleader’s Offspring token. Just look at him! Trying to wield a weapon way too big for him and attempting to look as tough as possible. But all I can see is cute. All the cute art in Bloomburrow got …

What Happens in the Bloomburrow Story?
Bloomburrow releases on August 2nd and it’s set on a brand new plane with the same name. It’s a world filled with anthropomorphic animals. Unlike other animal people we’ve seen in the past (like Viashinos or Loxodon) the residents of Bloomburrow are the same size as their animal species would be in our own world. THE CALAMITY BEASTS ARE COMING! …
Is Grouping Creature Types Together Good for Magic?
Typal (formerly “tribal”) decks are very popular in all of Magic’s formats. These are strategies that revolve around playing a bunch of creatures with the same type alongside cards that give you bonuses for that creature type. Recently, cards that offer typal bonuses to more than one creature type have become more common. In this article, I’ll discuss the history …
