If we’re only to judge by the historical facts, Magic isn’t really sure if it likes having core sets. Nevertheless, it’s about to try and have one again for the first time in several years. Foundations is different in some ways from the classic core sets. It’s got more new cards than reprints, and looks to be a lot more …
Jumpstart 2025 is a supplement booster set that releases alongside Magic: the Gathering Foundations on November 15th. As with past Jumpstart products, you and your opponent simply buy two booster packs and shuffle them together to make 40-card decks. And then you’re ready to play.

It’s Halloween week and that means it’s time for a Halloween-themed article. Magic has no shortage of super spooky Magic cards. There’s even a card that directly references the holiday itself, in the form of All Hallow’s Eve. While there aren’t any other cards that directly reference the holiday, there are tons of cards that have Halloween vibes. In this …

Captain America, First Avenger was previewed alongside Storm, Wolverine, Iron Man and Black Panther as the first of Wizards’ Universes Beyond: Marvel cards in a series of Secret Lair drops.
