Greetings planeswalkers! This is a short companion guide to our much larger Aetherdrift Limited Set Review. I’ll be giving my picks for the four best commons and uncommons in Aetherdrift’s main set for each color.
Read moreAetherdrift is upon us, and it’s time once again to go over the set’s goodies and busts for Limited players. This is Magic’s first “racing set,” and it incorporates a lot of tropes from that genre into its card design.
Read moreIn Magic, horrors are embodiments of fear that take form as grotesque, terror-inducing creatures. There’s a thin line between horrors and nightmares, and though they’re aesthetically interchangeable in most settings, they’re still distinct enough...
Read moreChanging the text of a card in Alchemy has proven unpopular, and oracle text adjustments remain grump-inducing, but when a card lets us do that as part of Magic, we love it! It feels like cheating, but in a totally safe way.

Read moreYou might remember some of the ape cards you’ve played with in MTG battles, but I bet you can’t remember them all. Truthfully, they aren’t all worth remembering, but I still want to take a close look at the ape creature type.
Read moreBest cards, plural, may be overstating this keyword ability a bit: as it turns out, there’s exactly two cards with the fortify keyword in all MTG. The same is true for fortification, the artifact subtype associated with the fortify keyword...
Read moreThe whirlwind of collecting Magic cards, building decks, and grinding out matches can sometimes feel quite delirious. Well, I’m here to hopefully help break up your restless mind with some delirium commanders.
