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 …
The glamorous and much-discussed new Modern Horizons 2 is out in the wild this week, and players have rushed to celebrate its high-powered and exciting draft environment. The special charm of these Modern Horizons sets comes from WotC’s stated willingness to put aside many of their self-imposed rules for set design. By unleashing their wildest and most challenging card ideas …
If you want to draft Strixhaven, get ready to go back to school. This new set doesn’t concern itself with enabling a “vanilla” Magic experience — instead, it feels like drafting someone’s highly specialized Cube. Unprecedented mechanics like learn, an unusual set makeup, and a swathe of high-impact bombs from both the set proper and the Mystical Archive cards all …
Hello, friends! Kenji “NumotTheNummy” Egashira here for an initial dive into the fabulous world of Kaldheim. As a Limited aficionado, I often find getting the opinions of new cards from various individuals can be very eye-opening when it comes to understanding how a format plays out. This will be my attempt at, hopefully, giving you one of those eye-opening moments …
This past week has seen drafters on MTG Arena and MTGO make their long-awaited return to Zendikar — and the plane of hedrons is NOT as we left it! Not only are we free to explore the wilds without Eldrazi interference for the first time since original Zendikar, but there are these new double-faced “spell lands” running around everywhere, challenging …
