In Magic: the Gathering, the “Legend Rule” refers to the special way that legendary permanents are treated within the game’s rules. It’s meant to make such creatures and the characters they represent feel like unique individuals, objects, or locations. The legend rule has undergone many changes over the years, but the rule has always revolved around limiting the number of …
The latest Magic release is another Universes Beyond tie-in, with the totally-tubular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cards now available at your LGS and on MTGArena. I personally don’t know much about the TMNT franchise, so unlike some other Universes Beyond sets I can’t say how good a job this one does adapting signature characters and storylines. I’m only focused on …
Lorwyn Eclipsed is a Limited format that wears its heart on its sleeve. When a set is built from the ground up around a handful of key creature types, changelings, and other typal synergies, most players don’t need a fancy strategy guide like this one to tell them what’s up. You just jump into this set, choose a type like …
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! This is a unique and weird set design with equally unique and weird changes to its default draft rules. If you want a rundown of the Pick-Two format and how it might affect your …
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 …
