Marvel’s Spider-Man is the next Standard-release set. You can preorder the set now, and it releases on September 26th. We’ve already seen a huge chunk of the set, and there’s one card in particular that caught my eye because of it’s eye-popping casting cost. Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer is the first-ever card to cost “WWWWW,” and only the 7th card in …
Magic has 300 creature types, and there are new ones every single day. That’s not too surprising for a game that is 32 years old, and it’s certainly not a bad thing to have so many cool types of creatures. However, over the years I think there are a few exceptionally cool creature types that have fallen through the cracks, …
The power level of Magic cards is not static. This is because new cards are created all the time, creating a brand-new context for your cards every time that happens. This often leads to cards that were once viewed as useless or uninteresting suddenly getting a major upgrade, sometimes decades after originally being printed. So, get out your shoe boxes …
Kavu are back in Edge of Eternities in a big way, and one of the story’s main characters even comes with the creature type. Tannuk, Steadfast Second also happens to be a really interesting Commander. He gives all of your creatures haste, and all of your Artifacts and red creature cards can be Warped for two generic and a red. …
The Eldrazi are some of the biggest (both literally and figuratively) villains in the lore of Magic: the Gathering. They are massively powerful colorless-aligned eldritch beings that hale from the unlivable space between planes known as the Blind Eternities. In the lore of Magic, the last time we saw these creatures was way back in 2016’s Shadows over Innistrad. At …
Edge of Eternities releases on August 1st, and in addition to the Commander decks and cards found in the main set, there’s also a bonus sheet – a subset of curated reprints with special frames. They are called Stellar Sights, and every single one of them is a land. They are all important lands from Magic history reimagined in the …
Edge of Eternities releases on August 1st. In addition to the main set, there are also two great new Commander precons with lots of intriguing new cards. In this article, I’m going to review the Counter Intelligence precon and discuss the best ways to upgrade it. The Counter Intelligence deck has a Jeskai identity and is focused on putting counters …
Edge of Eternities releases on August 1st, and earlier this week we got the final chapter of the story. In this article, I’ll summarize the 11 chapter story into one digestible read. NEW PLANE, NEW STORY This story is set in a part of the multiverse we’ve never seen before – The Edge. It’s a space-like plane that surrounds the …
Slivers are one of Magic’s most iconic creature types and it looks like we are going to see them return in the very near future. This is because they were mentioned several times in Episode 2 of the Edge of Eternities story. While they may not actually return in that upcoming set, it would be highly unusual for them to …
A few weeks ago, I took a look at creature types that currently have no viable Commanders. This article is in a similar vein. It looks at creature types that do have Commanders, but the options are lackluster. For example, while Angels certainly have several options at Commander, the creature type desperately needs more options. In short, it’s about time …
