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 …
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. But what exactly is a fast game of Commander? I don’t know about you, but most Commander sessions I play in have one or two games …
Universes Beyond: Assassin’s Creed releases on July 5, with preview season officially starting June 18. For fans of the games, it’s looking to be an exciting and authentic dive into the alternate history the AC weaves. Even if you’re not a fan of the “Animus” showcase frame (which we think looks really cool, actually), the borderless art and just the …
Modern Horizons 3 releases on June 14th. Like its predecessors, it is filled to the brim with references to past Magic: the Gathering cards and events. While many of these are just done for the sake of meta humor, there are also some more practical reasons they did this. While one of the goals of Modern Horizons 3 is to …
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 …
