It’s a Saturday afternoon, and the warm English spring sun is lighting up the room in the kinda way you have to shut the curtains if you want to play a video game. I’ve just picked up and eaten lunch, after a morning outside, and I’m finishing the dishes. In the background, Luis Scott Vargas is discussing his Sealed pool …
Much of the excitement (from myself and other writers) for Tarkir: Dragonstorm has revolved around its seeded Sealed experience. It’s a great idea to give players a chance to pilot their clan of choice and really enjoy that aspect of the plane and the Limited environment. But the original Khans block was also a legendarily good Draft format – one …
When it comes to community discussion, Primeval Titan – or “Prime Time” – has been at the forefront of unban discussions for years. Whether in response to increasingly powerful value cards being printed, the speed of Commander games, or the new Game Changers list, Primeval Titan never leaves the debate. But is it a safe card to unban? Commander Format …
Happy Valentines Day, except for these 10 potential dates who I would say no to in a heartbeat. These Planeswalkers are a bunch of red flags in a trenchcoat. 10. KARN Karn is probably the least offensive potential match here, but that’s part of what makes him such a bad prospect. This guy has splinters from sitting on the fence …

Gavin Verhey announced today on the DailyMTG Stream that the Commander Bracket System was now in public beta. The stream had a great lowdown of the work that Gavin has been doing with the Commander …
Aetherdrift spoiler season is off to the races, and as we get a closer look at some of the mechanics that power this high-octane set, one returning design is bound to raise eyebrows. Aetherdrift is sort of a “Return to Kaladesh” in both lore and themes, and we can now confirm that inheritance extends to the reintroduction of energy cards! …
Aetherdrift releases on February 14th. Its story follows the events of the Ghirapur Grand Prix, an incredibly dangerous multi-planar race. This race was made possible by the opening of the Omenpaths following the events of the Phyrexian invasion. These portals allow anyone – and not just planeswalkers – to travel between planes. Many characters old and new are competing in …
Double-faced cards are one of the most popular mechanics in Magic: the Gathering. A double-faced card (DFC) has a regular card frame on each side and no card back. They made their debut in Innistrad way back in 2011, where they were used to indicate the dual nature of many of the denizens of the plane. On Innistrad, the moon …
For many players, combo decks feel like you’re showing someone a Magic trick. The sheer depth of Magic’s card pool creates the potential for you to invent genuinely new strategies, and then wield those creations to astonish and destroy your foes! That depth of expression is a huge part of the game’s appeal, and it’s why combo decks are considered …
Modern fans around the world are woke up to an early Christmas present on Monday, as the latest Banned & Restricted announcement made some huge and widely-anticipated moves to shake up the non-rotating format. While there was some light attention paid to cards in Pioneer and Legacy, it’s clear that rebalancing Modern was the #1 priority for this ban cycle. …
