Masters 25 - Our favorite cards from Magic's 25th anniversary set
Magic the Gathering turns 25 years old this year, so naturally, this means Wizards of the Coast will be printing a Masters set. Dolla dolla bill ya'll. Gotta look profitable for Disney once Hasbro puts the company up on the market. Oh, you know Disney is interested in Magic and D&D, don't kid yourself! Masters sets mean reprints of classic cards, fun draft environments, new art,...
Magic : The Gathering - Unpacking a Rivals of Ixalan booster pack
Rivals of Ixalan is here, and if you haven’t heard, it’s an absolutely crazy set. Ixalan was berated as a set for being too casual and based on simple attack/don’t block mechanics, but Rivals of Ixalan has its own issues way off on the other side of the spectrum. Rare cards once again sit atop the food chain, replacing common and uncommon synergies that dominated Ixalan. In fact, these...
Magic: The Gathering Rivals of Ixalan – Our 10-ish Favorite Rare Cards
After covering the common and uncommon cards last week, I’m convinced that Rivals of Ixalan will be better received than its predecessor set, Ixalan. The addition of dual lands at uncommon and Evolving Wilds at common means players will be able to dig, expand, and splash more, no longer solely relying on the limitations of two-color tribes and their synergies to win games. If this is...
Magic: The Gathering Rivals of Ixalan – Our 10-ish Favorite Uncommon Cards
Uncommon has always been my favorite rarity level to look at when a new set of Magic: The Gathering comes out. As someone who mostly plays Limited formats, I know that rares are not likely to appear in my pool and that a large number of the common cards are just not worth my time. However, cards that are uncommon carry a lot of punch and appear more often than you might expect in your...
Magic: The Gathering Rivals of Ixalan - Our Favorite Common Cards
Ixalan ultimately came up short of expectations for a lot of Magic: The Gathering players. Games of Limited Magic, playing straight from the packs, didn’t go over well because of the set’s heavy reliance on tribal synergies, and not many cards were powerful enough to make a dent in constructed formats like Standard. Many criticized the set for leaning a bit too much on the fundamentals...
UNSTABLE Magic: The Gathering draft - Pound your friends with just four commons
I got out of the house this past Sunday to play some Magic: The Gathering for the first time in weeks. Only, when I arrived to play with my friends, we wound up doing an Unstable draft, which isn’t exactly genuine Magic to a certain extent. For those who don’t know, Unstable is the latest one-off set which will only be in publication for a short time. Like Masters and Conspiracy sets,...
Magic: The Gathering - Unboxing an Ixalan bundle, two Limited Decks deep
We’re a week into our adventures in Ixalan, and opinions have been sailing pretty high. The tribal synergies don’t quite have the super high payoffs we were expecting, but the flavor and mechanics of many cards have been worthwhile. Plus, crashing in with a Charging Monstrosaur on turn 4 feels just as marvelous as I expected it to. Since last week, I’m two Limited decks deep and have a...
Magic: The Gathering - Our favorite Rares for Ixalan Limited
And we’re closing out Ixalan with the big cards that we most want to play with but most likely won’t get to. These are the best Rares, and you’ll be lucky to scoop one of these first pick during your drafts over the coming months. 1. Burning Sun’s Avatar Burning Sun’s Avatar is a 6/6 for six mana, which is great, but if you want to play him, you better be sure you’re hardcore into...
Magic: The Gathering - Our ten favorite Uncommons for Ixalan Limited
We’re less than two weeks away from the latest set Magic: The Gathering set, Ixalan, and every card has been laid before us and spoiled by this point. The Dinosaur and Pirate tribes look great with Merfolk and Vampire Knights possibly slipping into the dominant force as sleeper hits. Ixalan looks promising so far with a strong focus on Tribal synergies. However, the set also has to...
