Welcome back to another edition of “This Day in Magic History.” This time, we’re taking a look at the release of Coldsnap, which was released on July 21, 2006. Coldsnap is one of the weirder black-bordered releases we’ve ever seen. It was printed as the intended third and final set of the Ice Age Block. That might not sound strange …
Tom dives deep into the Streets of New Capenna, and gives us an archetype guide for this oddly deceptive Limited environment! Streets of New Capenna is the latest set in what has become quite the golden age of Limited Magic. Appropriately enough, the aesthetic for this new world is glamorous art deco; a stylish if lawless city populated by demonic …
Welcome back, my scientifically-minded Draft players! At time of writing, almost two weeks of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Limited are on the record. Various surveillance thopters and cyber kami have begun filtering that data into a more complete picture of the format – one that can supplement and validate our first instincts as Magic players. That’s what this Draft By Numbers …
Heed my word, Magic players: the future is now! Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty has launched to much fanfare and applause, with its daring cyberpunk setting drawing many curious players back into the game after the holiday lull. Just glancing over the spoiler for Neon Dynasty gives you the feel of something different and special, with a remarkably high density of artifacts …
I’m not sure what it is about the plane of Innistrad that keeps producing such historically cool draft environments. Is it the design teams at WotC working to live up to the staggering heights of the original Innistrad format? Or are the plane’s mechanical themes of graveyard value and tribal synergies simply a recipe for good Limited gameplay? I’m sure …
Crimson Vow follows immediately on the heels of Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, without even a supplemental Draft product like Commander Legends or a Masters set to separate them. It’s been quite a while since we had consecutive sets share a thematic and mechanical base like this, and I admire how WotC has used this chance to express the grindy, graveyard-driven nature …
I don’t know about you readers, but I’m still howlin’ mad about Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. Drafting this set has been maybe my favorite Limited experience since Zendikar Rising and that includes all sorts of different color combinations and archetypes. If you haven’t tried it out yet, we put out a detailed guide last week which can quickly give you some …
Welcome to the CK Draft Guide for Innistrad: Midnight Hunt! The original Innistrad set an extremely high bar for Limited gameplay, frequently described as an all-time favorite by veteran players. It will take more time to properly judge the success of Midnight Hunt against its predecessor, but early signs are strong. The mechanics are novel and intriguing, the pool of …
Well, we are now two weeks deep into our Adventures in the Forgotten Realms dungeon crawl. Hopefully you’ve all had the chance to experience its traps and tribulations for yourselves, assisted by our trusty Draft Guide! But the thing about putting out Draft strategies in the opening week of a new set is that inevitably, there are deeper insights into …
Well Magic players, after 28 years, it’s finally time to party up our creatures, delve into the dungeon and have ourselves an adventure! It’s time for the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Draft Guide! Some people have been referring to this set as Core Set 2022 due to its place in the annual release cycle, but there is far more …
