With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of 2023 shipping deadlines for our major postal carriers to help you plan your holiday …
The Lost Caverns of Ixalan releases on Friday, which means it’s time to update our Modern decks for any weekend tournaments. Last week I talked about my thoughts on five of the best cards for Modern from the new set, so naturally I pulled from that list to find some homes for those powerful cards. Keep in mind that these …
The Lost Caverns of Ixalan prerelease begins Friday, and Pioneer Regional Championship season is just around the corner! So, today we’re going to break down three decks to try testing ahead of the next big event in Atlanta. Ramp Ramp is a deck we haven’t really had in Pioneer since the beginning of the format, with cards like Field of …
Welcome to The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander Set Review, our final review of the year! We made it folks, and what a cracker of a set to close things out on. As always, I’m not even gonna cover stuff that isn’t worth your time. That said, it’s a huge set with oodles of Commander playables, so let’s get stuck …
The new cards from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan hit Standard this week! Fittingly, they’re about to enter a strange and deadly environment unlike anything ever seen before. Changes to Standard legality have led to a larger card pool and higher standard of card quality than in many other years, which makes it hard for new mechanics and archetypes to …

Lost Caverns of Ixalan is Magic’s next Standard-release set and a sequel to the Ixalan Block (Ixalan and Rivals of Ixalan), which were released 2017-2018. The first visit to the plane featured a heavy typal theme, and one of the most prominent creature types was Dinosaur. So, it comes as no surprise that Lost Caverns features plenty of dinos too …

Lost Caverns of Ixalan brings with it four Commander decks: Ahoy Mateys, Blood Rite, Explorers of the Deep and Veloci-Ramp-Tor. Each is filled with a bevy of new, …
Modern has been dominated by one card over the last few weeks, and Up the Beanstalk is taking format by storm. The powerful, two mana enchantment rewards players for casting to expensive spells. Luckily, for the beans players, there are a ton of cards that cost 5+ mana in theory, but far less (zero to one) in practice. With that …
There are two indisputably true about Modern right now: the format desperately needs help to solve the Scam/Up the Beanstalk problem and that very soon, The Lost Caverns of Ixalan will become playable.
