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 …
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 …
