Star Trek has delivered us a new Boros legend that combines two of the best parts about playing RW: flicker and combat. Kira Nerys, Firebrand is a new three drop with huge depth of play, and she’s kinda cracked – she can make your attacks unblockable if you wait for the right moment. Here’s how to brew around her. KIRA …
Reality Fracture is the biggest set for planeswalkers in a long time. For one, it printed the newest planeswalker cards of any set in the last three years, with seven brand-new planeswalkers added to the game. That’s also not even counting the first EVER appearance of planeswalker tokens. If you added up all the cards which are capable of creating …
I hate to hand it to Jace Beleren under these circumstances (or ever), but Reality Fracture is a really incredible set. That goes for Limited too. We’ve had a couple of planeswalker-focused draft formats before, but it’s still a rare treat – and none before have done it quite like this. Leaning into his worst self as “The Theorist”, Jace’s …
In the quest to maximize the efficiency and potency of our Commander decks, we’re always on the lookout for new removal options that offer the best bang for our buck. 2026 has been a great year for removal and board wipes – here are ten of the best that I can’t stop playing.

It’s that time of year again everyone. A heretofore unimaginable cosmic threat imperils the very fabric of the Magic multiverse and the lives of all its inhabitants, requiring desperate resistance from planeswalkers and commonfolk alike. This time it’s Jace! Yes, one of Magic’s long-time protagonists has finally lost his grip on morality. Heartbroken by the catastrophes he has witnessed, Jace …
Reality Fracture releases on October 2nd. This set’s story is all about Jace trying to create a new multiverse to replace the old one, which he considered imperfect. Fittingly enough, the set’s Commander precon prominently features Jace and is called “Multiverse Reforged.” In this article, I’m going to review the deck’s contents and discuss the best ways to upgrade it. …
I play Draft quite a lot. It’s my most-played format by a significant margin, and that experience helps me author Card Kingdom’s Draft guides for each new set that comes out – the ones you can read on this very blog! Those guides focus on explaining which cards in that set are important, which decks are there to draft, and …
Over the years, Magic has invented a multitude of mechanics to build decks around, each with its own unique advantages, dedicated support cards, and memorable payoffs. But when all of those archetypes are thrown together into the grand melting pot of Commander, a few top-tier choices stand out. They offer versatile deck building options, consistent performance across different areas of …
I always feel an added sense of mystery and adventure when I draft a Universes Beyond set. In order to faithfully adapt the source material, these formats often make fundamental changes to how booster packs are constructed, the size of the card pool, or other factors that lead to a weird and warped Limited experience. But in The Hobbit, I …
Building a new Commander deck is always a fun time. You get to pick out something that speaks to you, pull out some cool cards you want to play alongside it, and see how to glue it all together. You might have some ideas of staples and templates that can inform the general make-up of a deck, and you might …
