The past weekend was a highlight for Magic’s 2021 calendar, as thousands of exuberant players descended on Las Vegas for the “Magic: The Gathering: Las Vegas” event. The event, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, was the first in-person “Gathering” for our community in over a year, and there was plenty of hype to be lived up to for …
Crimson Vow follows immediately on the heels of Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, without even a supplemental Draft product like Commander Legends or a Masters set to separate them. It’s been quite a while since we had consecutive sets share a thematic and mechanical base like this, and I admire how WotC has used this chance to express the grindy, graveyard-driven nature …
Thanks for joining me for another Combo Crash Course, where we explain Magic’s most notorious combo decks. If you’ve always wanted to know more about legendary decks like Splinter Twin, but didn’t know where to ask, this is the place to be. Today’s subject is a decidedly modern example of graveyard combo. Not only because this deck has been part …
Shortly after eagle-eyed players spotted some discrepancies in the Crimson Vow Commander card spoilers, WotC has clarified the correct rules, including some rare day-zero card errata. The new partner commander option Kamber, the Plunderer was previewed with two conflicting versions of its triggered ability.

The hotly-anticipated Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty set has a confirmed release day and preview period.
The atmosphere is shifting on the horror-plane of Innistrad, from endless moonlit night to blood-drenched wedding day. Innistrad: Crimson Vow isn’t just Midnight Hunt Part Two — it’s a full expansion set in its own right. That means debuting new mechanics alongside daybound/nightbound and disturb, and the vampiric guests of Olivia Voldaren’s big wedding are happy to oblige — with …
Magic’s largest YouTuber held a hair-raisingly successful charity giveaway over the Halloween weekend, raising $142,689 dollars for the organization Trans Lifeline in 56 hours.
For many Magic players, combo decks offer the most exciting and interesting way to play the game. They appeal to us on many levels: the cheeky thrill of “getting away with something”, the intellectual satisfaction of winning at one stroke, as though cutting the Gordian knot. Combos also embody the creativity and discovery inherent to CCGs, giving players the chance …
A few weeks ago, I explored a ranking of the most hair-raisingly impressive Werewolf cards in Magic, including a few big dogs freshly printed in Innistrad: Midnight Hunt.
