2025 is almost over, and that means it’s time to take a look back at the year in Magic. There were six sets released. That’s the most we’ve ever seen in a single year, and while that was kind of overwhelming in a lot of ways, it also means that we got six different Limited formats this year. Because Limited …
Welcome to the Card Kingdom draft guide for Avatar: The Last Airbender – the Magic set! I’ve already written and thought about this set and its mechanics quite a bit, moreso than I usually do before writing the draft guide. If you’ve been reading those pieces, then you’ll know my early opinion on A:TLA is very positive – and I’m …
We’ve seen some big crossovers already this calendar year, but Avatar: The Last Airbender has to be one of the most hotly anticipated Universes Beyond sets to hit Magic. The beloved cartoon series has retained its relevance for a generation now, and there’s fans of all ages who can’t wait to enjoy seeing its fantastic world and characters portrayed through …
Magic’s next Standard-release set is Avatar: the Last Airbender, which releases on November 21st, and Card Kingdom’s presale starts today! We’ve already gotten a look at a significant chunk of the set, and I’m really excited about the return of one of my favorite mechanics – Lessons/Learn. The first and last time we saw this mechanic was in 2021’s Strixhaven: …
Welcome readers, to the official Card Kingdom guide to Marvel’s Spider-Man Draft! Also known as Through the Omenpaths, Part 1 Draft for anyone on MTG Arena!

It may not be as exciting as seeing all your favorite comic-book characters come to Magic, but Marvel’s Spider-Man is also the harbinger of some big shifts in how we play Limited. Wizards has made it clear the set has been designed to be drafted with “Pick-Two” rules, where players get to take two cards instead of one each time …
Universes Beyond: Spider-Man releases on September 26th, and we’re already very deep into preview season. The set looks really exciting, featuring some cool new mechanics, and top-down designs of prominent characters and storylines from the Spider-Man franchise. With only 191 cards, it also happens to be the smallest draftable Standard-release set we’ve seen since 2015’s Fate Reforged. And unlike Fate …
Bonus sheets in Limited are a hotly contested topic. Do they make a format more exciting, or ruin it completely? After drafting a lot of Edge of Eternities, I can safely say that my mind is made up: they finally nailed how to do a bonus sheet without compromising Limited. EDGE OF ETERNITIES STELLAR SIGHTS The Stellar Sights bonus sheet …
Around the time of Tarkir: Dragonstorm, I reinstalled Arena, as I missed getting to do drafts as often as I used to. Now we’ve hit Edge of Eternities, I’m having a great time getting back into drafting. It also showed me just how rusty I was in some areas. GETTING BACK INTO BOOSTER DRAFT I kinda dropped off of drafting …
Edge of Eternities brought with it a bevy of new mechanics. While the likes of Lander tokens seem pretty well balanced, the Warp mechanic is a lot more pushed.
