Secrets of Strixhaven is a uniquely challenging Draft set to wrap your head around. Unique, that is… unless you played the original Strixhaven! Much like its predecessor this new set has a heavy emphasis on instants and sorceries, and their interplay with the students and professors of Strixhaven’s five colleges. As a Draft format this provides some really memorable archetypes …
Secrets of Strixhaven is showing us parts of Arcavios that lie beyond the bounds of Strixhaven School, but this is still a set primarily themed around mage academia. The mechanic which really anchors that theme is “prepare” – a new ability which, appropriately, lets creatures learn to cast their own instants and sorceries! On the surface it may look like …

I often explain to people that Magic as a hobby is more about studying than it is playing games.

Our next set is Secrets of Strixhaven, which releases on April 24th. During our first visit to Arcavios, we were introduced to the Magecraft mechanic. As of this writing, we don’t know yet whether or not Magecraft will be making a return in Secrets of Strixhaven, but even if it isn’t, this article will introduce you to the basics of …
Secrets of Strixhaven is fast approaching, and we’ll soon be able to check in once more with the five schools of Lorehold, Prismari, Quandrix, Silverquill and Witherbloom. If this visit ends up anything like the last, we’ll see some fresh takes on the color pie. But which color pairs stand to benefit most, and feature the most interesting designs? THE …
Ever since we revisited them in Lorwyn Eclipsed, we’ve had our minds on Elementals here at Card Kingdom. We love a nostalgic look through Magic’s rich history, so here’s our list of the most iconic Elementals of all time. We picked these ones for varying factors of fame, playability, power and infamy. Did we manage to get all of your …
If I was asked what qualities which define the current era of Magic: The Gathering, there’s a few answers I could give. First, that more new cards are being released than ever before. Second, that cards are becoming more complicated, with even commons having more rules text on average than previous eras. Third, that thanks to Universes Beyond the game …
Are you ready for the most radical set release of the year? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is Magic’s next huge mainstream crossover under the Universes Beyond banner. All the ass-kicking, fun-loving, pizza-munching action of the legendary TMNT comics and cartoons will be reborn as part of the world’s most popular TCG – and you can attend the world premiere at …
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the next set on the horizon, with a release date of March 6th, and from what we’ve seen so far, the most prominent new mechanic in the set is Sneak.
