Editor’s Note, 1/20/22: This article originally listed Q2 2022 as the timeframe for UNFINITY’s release. The product release has since been postponed until the latter half of 2022. Wow. If any of you out there joined me in tuning into WotC’s latest big product announcement stream a few hours ago, you know how overwhelming it can be. Our future flashed …
Innistrad: Midnight Hunt will be the 90th MTG expansion — a new Standard set which takes place on a particular named world, or plane, within Magic’s multiverse. For the first decade of expansion sets, the multiverse was more of a storytelling conceit or source for new villains, with the majority of sets taking place on Magic’s “home plane” of Dominaria. …
For last year’s Halloween, I put together a retrospective on Innistrad, Magic’s original spooky gothic horror set and a perennial pick for Best Set Ever. This year for Halloween, it seems like I’ll be writing about Innistrad once more – but in the present tense! WotC has started to drip feed us details on the previously-mysterious Innistrad sets coming later …
After several weeks giving Adventures in the Forgotten Realms a good thrashing, I’ve come to a monumental and unexpected realization: Treasure is the most important mechanic in Magic: The Gathering. And that’s only partially because of all the Immersturm Predators it helps me cast turn three on the play! Not every mechanic needs to herald a huge evolution in how …
I’ve often said in my articles here that Commander is the perfect marriage between Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering. So I’m very happy that with Magic finally getting an official D&D crossover set, WotC made sure to extend that experience into the game’s premier multiplayer format. The four precons available with Adventures in Forgotten Realms are each commanded …
Well, we are now two weeks deep into our Adventures in the Forgotten Realms dungeon crawl. Hopefully you’ve all had the chance to experience its traps and tribulations for yourselves, assisted by our trusty Draft Guide! But the thing about putting out Draft strategies in the opening week of a new set is that inevitably, there are deeper insights into …
Well Magic players, after 28 years, it’s finally time to party up our creatures, delve into the dungeon and have ourselves an adventure! It’s time for the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Draft Guide! Some people have been referring to this set as Core Set 2022 due to its place in the annual release cycle, but there is far more …
When Card Kingdom asked me if I’d like to write about the TopDecked app this week, I was mostly excited about putting another Magic tool to the test. As someone who’s spent a lot of time thinking about the game and hoarding huge stacks of cards, I’ve been through a ton of different apps and websites since my first Gatherer …
Normally, this is where I’d be crowing over WotC confirming my predictions article – but I don’t think anybody’s impressed that I guessed the “Dungeons & Dragons set” would have dungeons in it! People searching for information about Adventures in the Forgotten Realms are going to expect two things, and since Dragons show up in every Magic product, the dungeons …
Just a few weeks ago, the Magic community was excited by the spoilers from Modern Horizons 2, one of the deepest and most powerful sets of all time. We were getting huge blasts of fresh and exciting design space every few hours. There was a planeswalker you can target with Green Sun’s Zenith or Unearth, new pitch spells that you …
