Liliana Vess is one of the most complex characters in the Multiverse. She’s a deathless Planeswalker who controls the dead; eternally youthful, but centuries old. And while she may be powerful and self-possessed, she owes a debt to the darkest demons in the Multiverse – and to one particular dragon. The Gatewatch arc marks a transformation for Liliana: she’s no …

White Aggro decks invaded the scene at Pro Tour Guilds of Ravnica, putting six decks into the top eight and taking down the entire event in the hands of Andrew Elenbogen. Taking advantage of an incredibly low curve, including upwards of sixteen one-drop creatures, the White Aggro deck utilizes powerful small and evasive threats like Skymarcher Aspirant and Healer’s Hawk …

Tokens are an essential part of every Magic player’s collection. It’s always important to have the right creatures on the battlefield – don’t want to attack your 2/2 creature into a six-sided die that was meant to represent a 3/3 beast! Aside from helping maintain proper game states, tokens help us express our personalities as Magic players. Like other Magic …
Since making a Kefnet the Mindful Commander deck, I’ve been in love with cards that let you play off the top of your library.
