As 2021 draws to a close, many Magic players are starting to think about what 2022 will bring for Magic. With that in mind, I want to share three wishes I have for competitive Magic and organized play in the coming year. But before we get into the things I’d personally like to see, it goes without saying that we …
There’s always something festive and celebratory in the air this time of year – and in the world of Magic, what we’re currently celebrating is Kamigawa. With each new spoiler or info drop, Wizards of the Coast continues to show us what their futuristic, cyberpunk take on the plane will look like, establishing its new identity through some awesome concept …
There’s nothing quite like a good “Return To” set to get the imagination fired, is there? It might not be in the official title, but Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty definitely has all the extra hype potential of returning to an established setting. In fact, as I explained a few months ago, this is the #1 plane I’ve been most personally excited …

What feels like a hundred years have passed, and we’re still playing online with friends, despite local game …
Wizards of the Coast has surprised players this week with the announcement of a new Arena-exclusive format, Alchemy. After trialing digital-only cards with Jumpstart: Historic Horizons, WotC is setting up Alchemy to be “digital Standard” – using the same rotating card pool, but with digital-exclusive cards and regular balance patches. And we’ll be able to try it very soon, with …
Fans of Limited Magic around the world are preparing for this weekend’s MTG Arena Open — the first time ever that the platform will pay out cash prizes for Draft. The two-day, high-stakes Arena Open events have previously featured Standard and Historic as well as Sealed, but organizing a satisfactory Draft experience for high-level play will be a new logistical …

It feels like only yesterday I was putting together the 2020 edition of what’s becoming our traditional recap piece, and despite WotC printing more new cards than ever in Magic history, it feels like few of them were immediate standouts. 2019 has cast a very long shadow — Throne of Eldraine only rotated …
The past weekend was a highlight for Magic’s 2021 calendar, as thousands of exuberant players descended on Las Vegas for the “Magic: The Gathering: Las Vegas” event.
