I’m a huge fan of Magic: the Gathering, but I’m an even bigger fan of Lord of the Rings. When I heard that we might get a LotR-themed expansion, I couldn’t resist brainstorming how that might look. Join me today as I explore how that set might shape up — and stick around for my LotR Commander deck at the …
Time Spiral Remastered Preview Cards
It’s Time Spiral Remastered preview week, and Kristen takes us back to 2006 with her free preview cards. Time Spiral originally released in 2006, and I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t even aware Magic existed back then. But 2006 was when I really started to get into internet culture, and I’m sure that’s the same for a lot …
Time Spiral Remastered: Preview and Predictions
When you think about it, every set is a brand-new version of Magic: one design team’s remix of familiar frameworks and staples. Limited formats let us sample unique flavors of gameplay, and sets with great Draft environments are spoken fondly of for years or even decades afterwards. Next month, WotC are giving current players a chance to relive one of …
Strixhaven: School of Mages
Magic: The Gathering is a game about powerful wizards matching wits against one another. And few of the game’s expansion sets deliver on that premise quite like Strixhaven: School of Mages. Strixhaven is Magic‘s newest set, out now! It features brand-new, Standard-legal cards, and it’s available on Magic Arena, Magic Online, and for tabletop play. Plus, along with Strixhaven, Wizards …
Kaldheim
It’s the start of a new year, and as ever, we’ll be seeing a new batch of Magic sets full of new cards, new art, and new characters. The year kicks off with Kaldheim: an expansion set in a snowy, mountainous world inspired by Norse mythology. Kaldheim is home to Dwarves, Elves, Angels, and Giants — creatures of fearsome strength …
Time Spiral Remastered
From 2006-2007, Magic: The Gathering released three sets that would change the game as we know it. Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, and Future Sight celebrated the past, present, and future of Magic, with throwbacks to classic cards, twists on popular themes, and inventive new designs that foreshadowed where the game might be headed. If you weren’t around to experience the …
Kaldheim Predictions
It’s a fun little moment I write to you from this time. We’re in that peculiar week of calm where Christmas is (un)wrapped, 2020 is finally all but through, and the bold among us can begin to peek ahead at what’s round the corner in 2021. That dynamic is also at play in the Magic world, where the staggered release …
The Best Promo Cards of 2020
However you look at it, 2020 has been one hell of a ride. I’m glad that the Magic release schedule slowed down a little over this month — we needed time to reflect. No single facet of Magic illustrates the 2020 approach to Magic releases quite like promo cards. The number and range of alternate-art and alternate-frame printings exploded compared …
