I’m not sure what percentage of the audience for Commander Masters is mostly excited about its Draft potential — but whatever size that minority is, I’m part of it. The first few Commander sets to introduce these modified draft rules were an unexpected hit, producing quality Limited gameplay filled with classic multiplayer moments. Any of you shopping for a box …
Considering how great The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth turned out, you’re likely ready to draft this set “There and Back Again” once you reach the Undying Lands. To do this, the most organic and cost-effective approach may well be to build an LTR set Cube. In case you haven’t heard of a Cube before, it’s a draft …
In Phyrexia: All Will Be One, we have a cycle of one-mana artifacts with activated abilities that can draw you a card called Skullbombs. This builds on a similar cycle from Scars of Mirrodin called Spellbombs, which were themselves a sequel to the original Spellbombs from Mirrodin block. It’s not often we see cycles full reiterated this many times, but …
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.

If you have questions about this supplemental set, which is an entire Limited ecosystem unto itself, we’ve gathered all the information available right here in one place. So without further ado, let’s jump in with the basics. What is Jumpstart? You may …
Welcome back to the second, more scientific section of our Dominaria United draft guide! With a bit more time and a lot more data under our belts since the format’s release, Limited players can now supplement natural intuition and personal judgment with statistical insights on how to consistently find a winning deck. Using large online datasets for this sort of …
Welcome back to another edition of “This Day in Magic History!” Today, we’re going to take a look at Pro Tour Atlanta, which was held from Sept. 13-15, 1996. It is a very good time to take a look at the storied history of the Pro Tour, since it will be making its return in 2023. Pro Tour Atlanta is …
Welcome back to another edition of “This Day in Magic History.” This time, we’re taking a look at the release of Coldsnap, which was released on July 21, 2006. Coldsnap is one of the weirder black-bordered releases we’ve ever seen. It was printed as the intended third and final set of the Ice Age Block. That might not sound strange …
This Wednesday is Valentine’s Day, which often means one thing for partnered Magic players: Two-Headed Giant tournaments. But what if you and your sweetie would rather have a low-key night in than go out to the card shop?
