Modern Horizons 3 brings something new to the table: four Commander precons. But what if you’re just looking for upgrades to existing decks? Kristen has her pick of the highlights from the precons. With some very distinct mechanical themes – Eldrazi, Energy, Lhurgoyfs and Lands – the majority of the new cards in the precons are very specifically geared toward …
Modern Horizons 3 marks for a departure from the standardized Modern Horizons 3 release: It’s shipping with 4 Commander Decks. Graveyard Overdrive is a love-letter to Jund, filled with Lhurgoyfs, making Tarmogoyf tokens, and otherwise junding-’em-out. How is it out of the box? What tweaks can kick things up a notch? Let’s get our hands dirty and find out. NEW …
What’s this? Commander precon decks (like Creative Energy) in MY Modern Horizons set?!? In the current Commander-forward era of Magic, it’s more likely than you’d think. Confusing product names aside, I think that it actually makes good sense to release new precons alongside MH3. The main, Constructed portion of the set has a strong focus on supporting some specific mechanics …
Most Commander players build a Voltron deck at some point. Whether it’s equipment, auras, counters or a mix of the three, suiting up one large threat is a lot of fun. Winning with Voltron requires some skill-testing decision making, though. Here are five common mistakes Voltron players make on their path to victory. So, you want to progress from lowly …
Modern Horizons 3 releases on June 14th and this time around a Modern Horizons set comes with Commander preconstructed decks. The Tricky Terrain deck is perhaps the most unique of these new decks as it is a Simic “lands matter” deck that approaches lands in a couple of very novel ways. In this article, I’m going to look at the …
The Eldrazi Incursion Precon Commander deck from Modern Horizons 3 is one of the most aniticipated precons of all time, and now that we have the full decklist, it doesn’t disappoint! But just because the deck looks both powerful and like a ton of fun out of the box doesn’t mean there isn’t some room for improvement, even on a …
It’s the Modern Horizons 3 Commander Set Review. This one’s a real meaty review, as the set has just that many playables. You can find other recent Commander set reviews here: As always, we’re only looking at the all-rounders. For example, we won’t cover cards like Necrogoyf, Detective’s Phoenix, Eldrazi Linebreaker, or Primal Prayers that are very specific or only …
Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor brings Aura Enchantress to mono white. With card draw and granting enchantment spells you cast affinity for auras, it’ll be quite the engine. But what are we casting for cheap? PEARL-EAR, IMPERIAL ADVISOR Pearl-Ear is seriously cool. It’s been a long time since Mesa Enchantress and Kor Spiritdancer, and finally, we have another mono-white card draw creature …
Sunforger has started to feel like quite a mana intensive operation in Commander. Three mana to cast; three to equip; RW to activate. That’s a lot of mana. However, for a start, I don’t think that’s what you want to be doing with Sunforger anyways. Who has time and mana for that? SUNFORGER Sunforger is essentially a reward for playing …
Legions is a weird set. Released in February of 2003 as the second set of Onslaught Block, it has one of the most extreme set gimmicks we’ve ever seen. That’s because every single card in the set has the same card type! All 145 cards in Legions are creatures. On the whole, Onslaught block was very focused on creature types, …
