Everything You Need to Know About Ability Words in Magic

Chris Reay 19 days ago MTG Cards, MTG Rules

Magic has a long history of sets and mechanics, and one way that theyโ€™ve varied cards over the years is by including ability words on cards and in designs. These offer both design and flavor benefits in the game, simplifying how you understand...

Converge in MTG: Rules, History, and Best Cards

Pedro Furtado (djorso) 24 days ago Collecting, MTG Cards, MTG Rules

Playing five colors in a MTG deck is a balancing act, youโ€™ll have access to more power, but at the cost of a shaky mana base and unplayable cards in the early game. But what if we had something flexible to help you thrive early and late?

Repartee in MTG: Rules, History, and Best Cards

A.L. Walser 26 days ago MTG Cards, MTG Rules

Repartee is the mechanic for aspiring Silverquill students who want their words to sting just as badly as a Prismari mageโ€™s fire magic. It draws on a subtheme from the OG Strixhaven to give the second round of Silverquill cards a more distinct...

Hexproof vs Shroud in Magic: The KEY Difference

Hexproof vs Shroud in Magic: The KEY Difference

Herko Kerghans March 5, 2026 Collecting, MTG Cards, MTG Rules

Shroud is one of the most straightforward keywords in MTG. Mechanics like trample or flying require that you know how blockers work and how combat damage is assigned, but shroud should be easy to grok even for new players.

Equipment in MTG: Rules, History, and FAQs

Equipment in MTG: Rules, History, and FAQs

Herko Kerghans February 28, 2026 Collecting, MTG Cards, MTG Rules

Equipment artifacts are pervasive in Magic. Sets like The Brothers’ War have quite a few of them, while others may have just one, like Bespoke Battlegarb in Wilds of Eldraine, but it’s really hard to find a Modern expansion or...

Sneak in MTG: Rules, History, and Best Cards

Sneak in MTG: Rules, History, and Best Cards

Steve Vrooman February 24, 2026 MTG Cards, MTG Rules

Ninjutsu’s just fun to play with. It adds an interesting complexity to the combat step, and Iโ€™m all for anything that allows this kind of ability to show up in more sets. But sneak is very different than ninjutsu in some key ways...

Proliferate in MTG: Rules, History, and FAQ

Ignacio (Iรฑaki) February 19, 2026 MTG Cards, MTG Rules

If youโ€™re a Commander player, youโ€™ve either encountered an extremely annoying Atraxa, Praetorsโ€™ Voice or youโ€™re the one playing it. But Atraxa is hardly the only type of deck that takes advantage of proliferate in Magic. So letโ€™s see a little bit...

Populate in MTG: Rules, History, and Best Cards

Pedro Furtado (djorso) February 10, 2026 MTG Cards, MTG Rules

When I came back to playing Magic around the Innistrad and Return to Ravnica era, I met populate for the first time. Iโ€™m very fond of Selesnya decks and mechanics and, despite loving convoke more, thereโ€™s a lot to like about populate.

Lifelink in MTG: Rules, History, and FAQ

sushiske February 10, 2026 MTG Cards, MTG Rules

Life is an important resource in Magic. Weโ€™ve seen how using your life total as a resource can break the game countless times over the years, from Necropotence to Gitaxian Probe. Lifegain is an underappreciated stratagem, and the history of...
