Slivers are one of Magic’s most iconic creature types and it looks like we are going to see them return in the very near future. This is because they were mentioned several times in Episode 2 of the Edge of Eternities story. While they may not actually return in that upcoming set, it would be highly unusual for them to …
A few weeks ago, I took a look at creature types that currently have no viable Commanders. This article is in a similar vein. It looks at creature types that do have Commanders, but the options are lackluster. For example, while Angels certainly have several options at Commander, the creature type desperately needs more options. In short, it’s about time …
Final Fantasy released on June 13th. In addition to featuring cards from the main set, 1 in 3 Final Fantasy Play Boosters also contain a card from Final Fantasy Through the Ages. This is a sub-set of 64 reprints that have Final Fantasy skins. Because these cards appear in Play Boosters, that makes them legal in Draft and Sealed. In …
Over the last few years, Wizards of the Coast has made sure to give support to lots of creature types that didn’t have it before. Just in the latest release – Final Fantasy – Scouts and Mutants received much-needed Commanders with Jenova and Vaan respectively. However, even with all the new Commanders, there are still some creature types that have …
Final Fantasy releases on June 13th, and preview season concluded last week so we’ve seen every single card in the set. The set is filled with lots of cool and powerful cards, as well as flavorful designs that immerse you in the world of Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy preview season is well underway. This new set drops on June 13th, so it’s right around the corner. The set features a huge number of legendary creatures, and one of the most exciting ones that has been revealed so far is Choco, Seeker of Paradise. Chocobos are one of my favorite things about Final Fantasy. And, as a …
Magic the Gathering – Final Fantasy releases on June 13th. Along with the main set, there are also four brand new Commander precons filled to the brim with awesome cards. In this article, I’m going to review the Counter Blitz deck and discuss the best ways to upgrade it. As you can guess from the name, the Counter Blitz deck …
Magic has been around since 1993. And almost from the game’s start, there has been a story. When a story’s been going for that long, it’s bound to become complex and hard to follow. This article seeks to remedy that by summarizing the most important aspects of the Magic story into a single digestible read. If you’re a new player, …
Saga is an Enchantment subtype that was originally introduced in 2018’s Dominaria. Flavorfully, they represent episodic stories that are told chapter-by-chapter. Mechanically, this means that Sagas stick around for a few turns granting you an effect every turn, until the story is complete, at which point they get sacrificed. I have been thinking a lot about Sagas because in the …
You may have heard that Coalition Victory and several other cards got unbanned in Commander last week. This is a big deal, since the card had been illegal in the format for almost two decades, originally getting banned in 2007. More than two years ago, I wrote an article titled “Why is Coalition Victory Banned in Commander?” and in it I …
