After the trip to Magic’s past that was The Brothers’ War, everyone’s favorite game returns to its present… and things are looking grim. Phyrexia: All Will Be One is the first Standard set of 2023, and we’ve just gotten a ton of information about it all at once. We’re here to help you parse everything that’s out there, all in …
Surprised to see another Draft Guide already? Sure, not all of us have quite had our fill of The Brothers’ War just a month after I previewed it here on Card Kingdom. But trust me — this is a special occasion. Dominaria Remastered is only the second remaster set to receive a full paper release, and it’s very different compared …
Dethrone is a creature mechanic that triggers when a creature with it attacks the player who has the most life in the game, or is tied for having the most life. When they do, the creature gets a +1/+1 counter.And yeah. Pretty simple stuff here. There’s a few notes, but nothing too tricky. You have to attack a player for …
Magic has been enjoying something of a golden age for Limited set design: a near-unbroken string of good-to-great formats, arguably stretching back to 2018’s Dominaria. And while players could still feel this run of form through most of 2022, they also saw evidence that an inevitable regression is coming.

I hope you kept the gift receipt, because Kristen would like to return these cards for a refund. Commander got a bunch of great new cards in 2022, but there are some additions to the format we didn’t really need. When it comes to cards that honestly weren’t really needed for the Commander format, it’s useful to zone in on …
Welcome to another edition of “This Day in Magic History!” Today, we’re going to take a look at the December 10, 1993 release of Collector’s Edition. This set contained every single card from Beta, but they featured a different card back and they were not tournament legal. This should sound very familiar to you as it bears a striking resemblance …
We as magic players love to have all the answers. How often have you heard players say, “Oh this deck isn’t good,” or, “This deck needs a ban,” only to have time prove them wrong? Magic players are really good at finding a thing that works and then saying, “why play something else?” This is a totally reasonable stance for …
This year has been quite eventful for Commander. There have been more cool new cards in 2022 than you can shake a stick at, but some have stood out more than others as great additions to the format. With the year rounding to a close, I want to talk about the cards I am thankful for that have had a …
