Magic players love Ravnica sets. The plane has 10 separate two-color factions tasked with doing different things to maintain order. These separate factions, the flavor behind them, and their internal synergies are what Magic players love the most about Ravnica.

10 Sweet Budget Commander Cards from Modern Horizons 3
Modern Horizons 3 is now available, and the real brewing has started. Though many of the more popular build-arounds from the set, like Tamiyo and Sorin, are seeing a lot of Modern interest too, there are plenty of cards that are less interesting for Modern, and so are enjoying some nice low prices. Here are 10 cards we’ve picked out …
5 Underrated Commander Cards From Visions
Visions is an important set in the history of Magic. Not only was it part of Magic’s very first cohesive Block (Mirage Block), it also introduced enter-the-battlefield abilities. Love them or hate them, these days tons of creatures come with ETB abilities, and it all started with Visions. However, when it comes to Commander, Visions isn’t exactly a set filled …
What Exactly Is a Fast Game of Commander?
When you’re short on time or have already played a long drawn out game of Commander, the table often agrees that the last game of the night should be a fast game of Commander.

Cards We’re Prepping for our Assassin’s Creed Decks
Universes Beyond: Assassin’s Creed releases on July 5, with preview season officially starting June 18.

Graveyard Overdrive – Modern Horizons 3 Commander Precon Upgrade Guide
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 …
Creative Energy – Modern Horizons 3 Commander Precon Upgrade Guide
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 …
