Color Identity Search Filter
Card Kingdom‘s Advance Search feature has been instrumental in helping our customers build and refine decks, and today, we’re rolling out a new search filter that will make building Commander decks even easier. In addition to searching for cards by color, Card Kingdom customers can now search for cards by color identity. Commander.net defines color identity as “ color ... Read More...
Battle Deck League Livestream
Back in October, we ran a Battle Deck League for Card Kingdom employees, and the idea sparked plenty of conversations online.

Both Ramunap Ruins and Rampaging Ferocidon (RIP, my clever girl) gave ... Read More...

While pirate decks have been out in full force these past few months, I’ve been much more interested in the unsung story of Revel in Riches and how it combos ... Read More...
