Victory is at hand, but at what cost? A generous thank you to Wizards of the Coast for providing us with this preview card to celebrate the upcoming release of March of the Machine. The buildup to this endgame has been nothing short of remarkable. Also, a personal thanks from myself for turning Lukka into … Read more

Bleed the table until they’re broken. Oathbreaker, like Commander, feels best when you try not to break it. There are lots of insanely powerful planeswalker and signature spell combinations that feel oppressive or even outright win the game immediately if they resolve. Market Price: $8.99 That’s not fun. A multiplayer format feels at its best when … Read more

Who loves Blood Moon? Jess loves Blood Moon. Last week, WotC’s Banned and Restricted announcement shook up the Modern format. With the banning of Arcum’s Astrolabe, a lot is going to change. In my article detailing my reaction to the announcement, I talked about what this shakeup meant for the Gruul Midrange (aka Ponza). Blood Moon Double … Read more

Curated with value. Introduced in Zendikar Rising, The List is a catalog of Magic: The Gathering cards that first took inspiration from the Mystery Booster product line. As part of Wizards of the Coast’s concept of “Booster Fun,” cards from The List only appear in about 25% of Set Boosters instead of a marketing card. The List changes and updates on a set-by-set basis, … Read more

Don’t count your chickens, count your dollars instead! There was once a time when I was pretty good at Magic. Not make “the Pro Tour good”, but definitely “3-0 Draft pods on the regular” good. You can’t always win, though, especially when you play plenty of Limited, because your deck just isn’t going to come … Read more

Magic boosters can offer some absurd value. Let’s look at the $100, $200, and even $1000 cards you can find in packs today! Since the beginning of the pandemic, Wizards of the Coast monumentally pushed Magic: The Gathering into a collector space offering a new product in the Collector Booster that offers to chance to … Read more

Shadowmoor Remastered when? Old sets are filled with hidden gems. One such set is Shadowmoor – I was very legitimately surprised when looking through this set and its expensive cards, as there are so many popular or commonly-played cards from Shadowmoor that have never been reprinted and so command a much higher price than they perhaps should. If you’ve … Read more

Fierce Guardianship? More like fiercely guarding that $50 price tag. Though we’re still several months away from the August 4 launch of Commander Masters, I can’t help but wish for some specific cards to be contained within. The prospects of an all-reprint set that already includes Jeweled Lotus has piqued my interest. I’ve put together my very own … Read more

Before you start, I just wanna say: no. One of the best things about Magic: The Gathering is how the game lets you rewrite the rules as you play. You’re a powerful wizard after all—with enough mana, you should be able to do anything! That includes in-fiction zaniness like achieving immortality or turning everyone’s spells into birds, but … Read more
