Giant: One new card. I’m going to say probably not, but I won’t rule it out. The card is also a pirate, and seems a better fit for that tribe. Goblin: Four new cards. Tribal synergies are for other tribes in this set. The cards are fine, but Goblin Tribal doesn’t need them. Golem: Three new...

This report will be running a bit late, but you’ll live. Now, Commander Legends is a set themed around the Commander format. The set is going to make waves in that format, but what does this mean for Tribal formats? While cards that have mechanics specific to Commander don’t necessarily do...

I was introduced to an hour-long video created by Messrs “The Nitpicking Nerds” covering the best cards for EDH from every Magic set to release new cards into the game. If these guys had merely selected their #1 pick from each set, I wouldn’t be commenting on it now. But they also threw in some...

I think one of the documents I linked to earlier mentioned it, but one of the most controversial cards as far as moralizing outrage has been Triumph of Ferocity. Personally, I think WotC did nothing wrong on this one, but it drew way more online complaints than most of the Salty Seven ever...

I knew I needed to post an updated map. Oops. Anyway, the one Ty eliminated was the last one. They're all gone now. On the upside, I do like that magic armor I randomly rolled for that last wight lord. I'll have to remember that one. 😈 Dorgath wasn't boxed in. The wights adjacent to him by that...

Next round... -The Power Phase is 6 for this turn. The Winds of Magic coalesce eerily around Throg, as arcane knowledge rushes into his mind again. It's as though he rolled so super-well on this that something unusual is happening. Throg feels as though some deranged intelligence in another...

I've decided that once I get the unsorted Magic cards put away, I'm going to take one of the tables I've cleared off and set it up for a Warhammer Quest board I can just snap pictures of and upload them to the Discord. The way we're going now, I keep forgetting to make updated board displays...

I mean, maybe? Let's say you're playing a mill deck. What number do you choose for this card? and let's say you're playing against a mill deck. What number do you choose then?

While we're here, I'll note that it's now $225. I blame people catching on that it's good in EDH. Anyway, I was about to post about the new "Wheel of Misfortune" card in the Underworld Dreams thread, but really, it's a better fit here. Earlier, I talked about Wheel knockoffs and how none of...

I do find that Invocation art bland, but I also still dislike the Fifth Edition art that keeps showing up on reprints, foil or not. I've found it kind of weird. The use of the Ken Meyer Jr. art in Tempest Remastered and the Tom Fleming art in Duel Decks: Phyrexia vs. The Coalition would seem to...

In discussions of the history of tournament Magic, I've often seen the "Prosperous Bloom" deck from around the time I started playing described as a kind of genesis of true combo decks in tournament play, completing the trinity of Aggro/Control/Combo. It's obvious that aggro decks and control...

That's because the turn structure is like this... 1. Power Phase 2. Exploration Phase 3. Warriors Phase 4. Monsters Phase 5. End Phase By the time it was Ty's chance to move and attack in the initiative order, all of the monsters adjacent to him had been wiped out. In order to attack, he'd...
