Basic lands are practically free. You can grab them out of a land box at your local game store or Grand Prix. They’re very cheap in their most basic form. But people love to bling out their decks, so it makes sense that even the simplest thing...
Read moreWhen I started playing Magic, there hadn’t been a proper snow-based set for about five years. Coldsnap was the last time snow cards had made an appearance, and at that point they’d become some kind of myth. They tended to be expensive and weren’t...
Read moreAs all MTG players know, you “tap” your lands to cast your spells and “tap” your creatures to attack your opponent. Lands and creatures that haven’t yet been tapped are “untapped.” Though such lingo is likely second nature to everyone with me...
Read moreI dare say that monarch isn’t one of Magic’s most popular mechanics. It’s only been featured in two sets so far, and it’s not particularly strong at first glance. I really like it, especially as a theme for Commander decks. I think it...
Read moreMagic cards have been a collectible for a long time. Some players spend absurd amounts of money to own specific cards. Anyone who’s played MTG for almost any length of time has heard of the OG cards. The ones that were the most powerful back in...
Read moreAs a deck builder, I like to build with cards that are underused and try to exploit them to their maximum potential. More often than not, WotC releases powerful cards like this in sets with a theme for a particular creature type, but then they...
Read moreBlah blah blah fetch lands, blah blah blah shock lands. Okay, but what about filter lands? Filter lands are honestly a little underrated. I mean, while these lands might be less popular in some cases, they’re phenomenal the times when you can use...
Read moreThe more I play Magic, the more I realize that I’m being smothered by an avalanche of cardboard. Fancy cardboard, but cardboard nonetheless. You need to protect your cards if you want to keep them long term. Navigating the world of storage can be...
Read moreThrough all of this deckbuilding and homebrewing there’s been one thing that stands out: a lot of cards show up time and time again in almost every deck I’ve built. I’ve dug through YouTube and EDHRec to try and make a good list of what cards you...
Read moreFor many players who began the game within the last eight years or so, the “god” creature type has just kind of been around. It fit wherever Wizards decided to put it, but they were always a fixture in Modern and the Standard rotation. But in...
Read moreThe key to building a great Magic deck is good mana fixing. There have been plenty of decks in Magic’s history that have had all of the pieces they need but failed because of inadequate ways to fix their mana. There have been dozens of dual land...
Read moreHello and welcome to a new and exciting adventure over new horizons in MTG as WotC has given us plenty of planes to travel across the multiverse. From fetch lands to check lands crossing all schools and guilds, there’s a lot yet to be discovered...
