Coin flip decks tap into this randomness, but they also want to harness it, tipping the scales in their favor any time they can. It’s almost like creating a handicap for yourself, then finding a way to cheat out of it.
Read moreMagic is a game of words. Words make up the rules and mechanics of the game. MTG’s story is told through the cards first and through novels, free short stories, and other media second. This is where flavor text comes in.
Read moreThe Power 9 are Magic’s most iconic group of cards. These nine cards were first printed in Alpha and Beta and have gone on to become some of the game’s most iconic cards thanks to how absurdly powerful they are.
Read moreThe Brothers’ War short stories flipped the focus of Magic’s main stories. The focus of the stories fell on the lives of civilians and common soldiers instead of on the grand acts of mighty characters. And it’s soldiers that I’m here to talk...
