With the news that five Planeswalkers will be compleat by the end of the Phyrexian storyline, Kristen makes a case as to why Nahiri far better as an anti-hero than a villain. During the first look at Phyrexia: All Will Be One on the WeeklyMtG stream, Blake & co announced that there would be stylized alternate art treatments of the …
Modern is a big format with lots of decks and strategies. If you’re trying to get into the format, it can be very daunting to figure out not only what all these cards do but what deck you could pick. That’s before you even think about the elephant in the room: bannings. Lots of Modern players are worried about picking …

After the trip to Magic’s past that was The Brothers’ War, everyone’s favorite game returns to its present… and things are looking grim. Phyrexia: All Will Be One is the first Standard set of 2023, and we’ve just gotten a ton of information about it all at once. We’re here to help you parse everything that’s out there, all in …
Surprised to see another Draft Guide already? Sure, not all of us have quite had our fill of The Brothers’ War just a month after I previewed it here on Card Kingdom. But trust me — this is a special occasion. Dominaria Remastered is only the second remaster set to receive a full paper release, and it’s very different compared …

When they do, the creature gets a +1/+1 counter.And yeah. Pretty simple stuff here. There’s a few notes, but nothing too tricky. You have to attack a player for …
Magic has been enjoying something of a golden age for Limited set design: a near-unbroken string of good-to-great formats, arguably stretching back to 2018’s Dominaria. And while players could still feel this run of form through most of 2022, they also saw evidence that an inevitable regression is coming. To sort out which sets belong in each category, I’ve created …
Modern, as a format, has a long history of supporting a large number of viable archetypes. Well, until Modern Horizons hit and Modern became slanted heavily toward the top few decks. But recently, nature (read: Modern) is healing as players figure out different strategies or simply revamp older ones. So today, I’d like to talk about Goblins, Izzet Prowess and …
I hope you kept the gift receipt, because Kristen would like to return these cards for a refund. Commander got a bunch of great new cards in 2022, but there are some additions to the format we didn’t really need. When it comes to cards that honestly weren’t really needed for the Commander format, it’s useful to zone in on …
Welcome to another edition of “This Day in Magic History!” Today, we’re going to take a look at the December 10, 1993 release of Collector’s Edition.
