It’s near impossible to keep up with all of the cards in Commander and their various uses. Some incredible cards will inevitably slip through the cracks and fade into obscurity, appearing only as pet cards or secret technology in the decks of brewers with too much time on their hands (yes, this is a self-callout). Today, I’ve got five such …
Every commander is unique, and no two decks are alike. However, some legendary creatures see a lot more play than others; these are usually the face commanders of preconstructed decks, or the more obviously powerful choices in a particular archetype. When these decks make up a lot of the collective pool in Commander, some of the more interesting commanders don’t …
Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms is set to be a hugely impactful Commander product. Not only is there already a huge overlap between D&D and Magic players that are loving the flavor and themes of these preconstructed decks — they serve as an attractive stepping stone for D&D players to get into Magic. Today, I’ll be taking …
With every new set come exciting new legendary creatures, and Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms doesn’t disappoint. The spread of different abilities and support for multiple archetypes is particularly impressive: there are some interesting twists on classic strategies like life gain, artifacts, and Dragons, as well as brand new strategies like dice rolling, dungeons, and giant space …
It’s the end of preview season! We’ve ventured through the dungeons, rappelled down our Fifty Feet of Rope, and found the loot at the end. With just a couple short weeks remaining until its official release, now is the perfect time to take a look at one of the most fascinating aspects of Adventures in the Forgotten Realms: Modality! Adventures …
It may have only been released just a few days ago, but we’re already riding the waves created by Modern Horizon 2’s impact. Modern is a totally new beast, one that’s proving hard to tame into a settled metagame in the weeks since MH2’s early release on Magic Online. This is a great sign, as it means there is plenty …
The world has changed so much in the past 18 months, and a whole new subset of social experiences have helped to shape the pandemic zeitgeist. Between wearing pajamas to work (at the dining room table), experimenting with hair or fashion styles, or even just giving your food delivery app a greater workout, everyone has developed some form of “lockdown …
Modern Horizons 2 is finally fully revealed! It won’t be long before we can get our hands on arguably the most powerful set of all time, and you’ll want to make sure you’re ready to grab the best new staples. I covered a selection of new Modern staples in my last article, but this time I’m going a little further. …
Modern will never be the same again. Just like its predecessor, Modern Horizons 2 is poised to leave a massive mark on Modern; many of the cards will see some level of play in the format, and even more will become Commander staples from day one. In my eyes, this is one of the most successful sets in the past …
I’m no counselor, but we should probably talk about Grief. Weekly MTG previewed a bunch of cards ahead of the official start of Modern Horizons 2’s preview season, and Grief was easily the standout. The card has already has brewers in a tizzy to find the best shell for it and the optimum cards that work with it. Grief is …
