The Brothers’ War is upon us! Prereleases have just passed, and the set drops this weekend. With it, we get the two themed Commander decks from the set, each helmed by one of the fabled brothers, Urza and Mishra. These decks feature old borders on every card, evoking the historic (in multiple senses of the word) nature of these decks. While …
Welcome to another edition of “This Day in Magic History!” Today, I’ll take a look at the release of Fallen Empires, which debuted to the world 28 years ago. Fallen Empires is much-maligned, largely because it only introduced a handful of cards that have had a significant impact on the game. However, today I’m going to tell you that Fallen …
Meld is a Keyword Action (a little different than what we normally cover here) that can appear on any permanent type. It could theoretically appear on an Instant or Sorcery, but we have yet to see that occur and how specifically that would work. Anyway! Meld appears in the ability text of one card that will specifically name another card …
Last week I went over the five most likely cards from The Brothers’ War to make an impact in Modern, which you can find here.

It’s time to dig into The Brother’s War, a nostalgia-packed flashback to the struggles of Urza, Mishra and the Phyrexians.

BRO — and yes, that’s the set code — is a veritable smash hit for …
The biggest Pioneer tournament of the year, DreamHack Atlanta, is just one week away, and players are rushing around trying to figure out what to play in a post Brothers’ War world. Can players trust the reliable meta decks, or will things change? That’s hard to say, but here are how some decks have changed after an injection of new …
With The Brothers’ War returning to a traditional, simultaneous Arena and physical release schedule, Draft lovers get to spend a little more time with the full spoiler before jumping into the trenches. That’s just as well, since this set is very unique in many fundamental aspects. Wizards has leaned into the epic, world-spanning scale of their story. Every color is …
Magic: the Gathering is a different game than it was 30 years ago. When it first released, no one could have predicted just how long it would last, how popular it would become and how much change was needed to reach those points. But if Magic is hoping to reach another 30 years and beyond, it will need to keep …
The Brothers’ War approaches, and with it comes something that may seem a little out of place in Magic: giant battle mechs.
