Deep Clue Sea Upgrade Guide: 21 Easy Changes You Can Make

Deep Clue Sea Upgrade Guide: 21 Easy Changes You Can Make

Steve Vrooman February 4, 2024 Commander, Deckbuilding, MTG Decks, Strategy

The Deep Clue Sea Commander precon deck’s funny name will remind you of Deep Blue Sea, and the comparison helps to understand it. The deck and the movie are fun but kinda all over the place with one or two good moments.

The 73 Best Cards in Murders at Karlov Manor Ranked

The 73 Best Cards in Murders at Karlov Manor Ranked

Steve Vrooman January 29, 2024 Collecting, Deckbuilding, MTG Cards

Murders at Karlov Manor has a totally fascinating mix of cards. Underneath the disguises and cloaks there are some really out-there designs that are carving up new space in MTG. I think this set will pay off for folks who like to brew and play...

Islandhome and Landhome in MTG: Rules, History, and Best Cards

Islandhome and Landhome in MTG: Rules, History, and Best Cards

Steve Vrooman January 15, 2024 Collecting, MTG Cards, MTG Rules

For newer players, the most likely entry point for the question of “Huh?” when they see the rules for landhome is when they get pulled into a game of Dandân. There’s some odd text on that card, a remnant of a now obsolete mechanic which...

The 11 Best Merfolk Planeswalkers in Magic Ranked

The 11 Best Merfolk Planeswalkers in Magic Ranked

Steve Vrooman January 4, 2024 Collecting, Deckbuilding, MTG Cards

Not all merfolk fit well in decks together, and the speed with which merfolk can hit the board in other formats just isn’t there in EDH. A slower merfolk deck sometimes wants some intervention from a higher power. Enter Kiora and friends!

Splice in MTG: Rules, History, and Best Cards

Steve Vrooman December 29, 2023 MTG Cards, MTG Rules

From Snapcaster Mage to Underworld Breach to Lier, Disciple of the Drowned, Magic players have long tried ways to efficiently recur spells from the graveyard. But what if the spell never left your hand in the first place?

The Twelfth Doctor Commander Deck Guide

Steve Vrooman December 21, 2023 Commander, MTG Decks, Strategy

The Twelfth Doctor isn’t blowing the doors off the TARDIS in terms of popularity as a commander, but that’s because no one’s tried the right angle yet. This version uses a combination of creatures, disruption from card theft, acceleration...

The 80 Best Ravnica Remastered Cards in Magic Ranked

Steve Vrooman December 19, 2023 Collecting, Deckbuilding, MTG Cards

With 13 MTG sets that have taken place on Ravnica, you’d have to expect some banger cards in a Ravnica Remastered set that collated all of that for one Draft environment. There are so many good reprints in this set, and I’m sure I’m leaving off a...

The 13 Best Avatars on MTG Arena Ranked

Steve Vrooman December 18, 2023 Collecting, MTG Arena

How do you decide what face represents you on Arena? Do you use different avatars for different decks? Are your avatars strategic, perhaps misdirection or purposeful tilt-enablers? These are some of the questions I have about avatars.

The Sixth Doctor Commander Deck Guide

Steve Vrooman December 18, 2023 Commander, MTG Decks, Strategy

The Sixth Doctor was, at the time, the least popular Doctor, who traveled through time and space in “a rather bombastic manner, from his overly eccentric wardrobe, to his over-the-top performance at nearly every turn.” This characterization...

Embalm in MTG: Rules, History, and Best Cards

Steve Vrooman November 27, 2023 Collecting, MTG Cards, MTG Rules

The embalm mechanic, which is basically the mummy mechanic from the ancient Egypt themed set, does the idea of the mummy justice, at least from a pop culture perspective. How does it work and what are the best cards? Let’s take a look!

Here’s Why Planeswalkers Don’t Have Summoning Sickness in Magic

Steve Vrooman November 16, 2023 Guide, MTG Cards, MTG Rules

When planeswalkers arrived on the Magic scene in 2007 with Lorwyn, they were confusing to a lot of us in the casual player base. Weren’t we supposed to be planeswalkers? Isn’t that what the little rulebooks in our 4th edition starter decks...
