In Magic: the Gathering, the “Legend Rule” refers to the special way that legendary permanents are treated within the game’s rules. It’s meant to make such creatures and the characters they represent feel like unique individuals, objects, or locations. The legend rule has undergone many changes over the years, but the rule has always revolved around limiting the number of …
Lorwyn Eclipsed is a Limited format that wears its heart on its sleeve. When a set is built from the ground up around a handful of key creature types, changelings, and other typal synergies, most players don’t need a fancy strategy guide like this one to tell them what’s up. You just jump into this set, choose a type like …
2025 is almost over, and that means it’s time to take a look back at the year in Magic. There were six sets released. That’s the most we’ve ever seen in a single year, and while that was kind of overwhelming in a lot of ways, it also means that we got six different Limited formats this year. Because Limited …
Magic’s next Standard-release set is Avatar: the Last Airbender, which releases on November 21st, and Card Kingdom’s presale starts today! We’ve already gotten a look at a significant chunk of the set, and I’m really excited about the return of one of my favorite mechanics – Lessons/Learn. The first and last time we saw this mechanic was in 2021’s Strixhaven: …
Welcome readers, to the official Card Kingdom guide to Marvel’s Spider-Man Draft! Also known as Through the Omenpaths, Part 1 Draft for anyone on MTG Arena! This is a unique and weird set design with equally unique and weird changes to its default draft rules. If you want a rundown of the Pick-Two format and how it might affect your …
Universes Beyond: Spider-Man releases on September 26th, and we’re already very deep into preview season. The set looks really exciting, featuring some cool new mechanics, and top-down designs of prominent characters and storylines from the Spider-Man franchise. With only 191 cards, it also happens to be the smallest draftable Standard-release set we’ve seen since 2015’s Fate Reforged. And unlike Fate …
Bonus sheets in Limited are a hotly contested topic. Do they make a format more exciting, or ruin it completely? After drafting a lot of Edge of Eternities, I can safely say that my mind is made up: they finally nailed how to do a bonus sheet without compromising Limited. EDGE OF ETERNITIES STELLAR SIGHTS The Stellar Sights bonus sheet …
Around the time of Tarkir: Dragonstorm, I reinstalled Arena, as I missed getting to do drafts as often as I used to. Now we’ve hit Edge of Eternities, I’m having a great time getting back into drafting. It also showed me just how rusty I was in some areas. GETTING BACK INTO BOOSTER DRAFT I kinda dropped off of drafting …
Edge of Eternities brought with it a bevy of new mechanics. While the likes of Lander tokens seem pretty well balanced, the Warp mechanic is a lot more pushed. I’m of the mind that Warp is a potentially problematic mechanic, and here’s why. WARP Some spells can be cast for their warp cost. It’s a discounted mode of casting that …
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 …
