Well, it's taken us some time, but here is the final installment of my Commander hot takes for Wizards of the Coast's hit game, Magic: The Gathering.

I'm sorry, I think we have all been here before. This all seems strangely familiar to me. I kind of hate deja-vu at times, don't you?

Sometimes, there's an odd trend in Magic: The Gathering where, in all formats, something is troubling. These are linked inexplicably to the issue of value.

I'm not dealing with meta-issues such as the Commander RC, the CAG, the DCI, R&D, or any other acronym-ed Magic organizations (besides EDH and MTG as a whole), nor am I talking about social issues in here (Rule Zero aside… potentially) Bearing this in mind, let us begin!

For those of you looking to invest in single cards from Magic's latest expansion Theros: Beyond Death, I am afraid I may have a spot of bad news for you.

Congratulations to Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa on winning the 26th Magic: The Gathering World Championships!

This weekend is a solid one for competitive Magic: The Gathering. Between Worlds XXVI and various other tournaments occurring concurrently, it's fairly safe to say that competitive Magic has never been stronger on a professional level.

February 16th, 2020 marks the final day for the 26th Magic: The Gathering World Championships!

The minds behind such Netflix documentary series as The Toys That Made Us are developing a new documentary about the genesis, origins, and impact of Wizards of the Coast's ever-popular trading card game Magic: The Gathering.

I faced off against a very strong Uro decklist about a week ago and it was so strong that I wanted to try and emulate it here.

Following up on both of the Theros: Beyond Death booster draft box review I have done as well as that of the Planeswalker Deck gameplay from the very same set, I wanted to see how Sealed gameplay works out for the newest set from Magic: The Gathering.

Joel Larsson of Sweden is the Champion of Players Tour Brussels!

The Planeswalker decks for this set, which is inspired by Ancient Greek mythology and other recognizable tropes, feature both Ashiok and Elspeth.

A mysterious box came into my possession a couple of days ago, and I wanted to inspect it and talk about it with my loyal readers today.
