A few weeks ago I wrote about what I thought was the Modern best card from each color in Phyrexia: All Will Be One. I pegged Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler as the multicolor card, and while Tyvar has seen play so far, it appears I missed the mark. Atraxa, Grand Unifier is the card proving to be relevant — not only …
The most exciting part of professional Magic returned last weekend with Pro Tour Phyrexia. I’m back from playing in the event myself, and let me tell y’all, the format is NOT where it was just two weeks ago. There are three breakout decks to examine from last weekend, one of which was piloted by the event’s winner, ChannelFireball’s Reid Duke. …
With the recent sneak peek at March of the Machine, one particular card stood out a bit to me. All right, a lot of cards stood out for a lot of reasons, but Faerie Mastermind caught my eye because it’s an Invitational card. Invitational cards have been a part of the game since near the dawn of Organized Play, and …
Toxic is a new keyword introduced to Magic in Phyrexia: All Will Be One that gives creatures the ability to dole out Poison counters to your opponents.

Yup. That’s it. I mean, here’s a few notes, but it’s pretty simple. While Undaunted does technically function in a game of one-on-one Magic, the spells with it …
While Commander’s grassroots origins make it different from many other Magic formats, it still has a ban list like the rest of them. However, since Commander is not a format with tons of tournament data to back up banning certain cards, some players are unsure why certain offenders end up on the list. Today, we’re going to take a look …
Currently, Modern is about the most powerful it has ever been. The average card quality in decks is significantly higher than it has been in the past. Along with that, the best cards in the format are even more noticeable. Naturally the best decks almost always play at least a couple of the best cards in the format, unless they’re …

Whenever Proliferate in Commander is mentioned, it’s hard not to think of Atraxa, Praetor’s Voice. Created by Praetors as a testament to Phyrexia, Atraxa is arguably the most popular commander of the past two years. And it’s easy to see why!
