Today, the YouTube page for Tolarian Community College's Brian Lewis (or, as he is better known, The Professor) shared The Professor's top five worst points for Magic: The Gathering in the past year of 2019. This comes after Saturday's video by The Professor detailing his picks for the top five best things to happen to Magic this […]
Recently, the Game Grumps YouTube channel uploaded a video wherein one of their hosts, Arin Hanson, played Magic: The Gathering: Arena (the online interface for Wizards of the Coast's wonderfully-popular game Magic: The Gathering), while co-host Danny Avidan watched intently, bringing his own nostalgia into the mix. A few months back, the Grumps tried their hand at playing […]
Happy Turkey Day to all those in the United States who celebrate! To commemorate this day of questionable decisions, both in history and on the third helping of stuffing, we at Bleeding Cool have written up another Oathbreaker deck tech for Magic: The Gathering. Oathbreaker, for those just beginning to read Bleeding Cool's deck techs on […]
Throughout the ages, there have been reports of magically-inclined human beings practicing their craft to the shock, awe, and also the rage of other less-magical people. These wizards, witches, warlocks, and so forth all purportedly existed in the medieval environment and had woven themselves into the very fabric of legend. The greatest legendary medieval wizard, […]
Happy Halloween everyone! It's October 31st, so hopefully, you know what's in store for you with regards to this particular Magic: The Gathering Commander deck tech. Over the past two months, we at Bleeding Cool have been going over a multitude of different legendary creatures from Throne of Eldraine, and how they could fit into […]
Throne of Eldraine, Magic: The Gathering's newest expansion set, is full of amazing legendary creatures. The set as a whole is based on a unified blend of Arthurian and Grimm folklore alike, making for an exquisite setting for the newest world in the Magic Multiverse. Of course, not all is daisies and roses in Eldraine, the […]
Throughout the years, Magic: The Gathering has ebbed and flowed as far as being a game themed in high fantasy. Some of the sets are styled in themes similar to Ancient Greece or Egypt, one takes place in an Arthurian-inspired setting, and some are even as close to science fiction as fantasy can get. We have […]
Magic: The Gathering has been around for 26 years. It is older than many real-life issues, and even some celebrities. But do you know what is older than Magic? The Green Giant. Yes, the Green Giant brand of canned vegetables. Those icky, slimy green beans and corn that my parents force-fed me at a very young age- […]
Wizards of the Coast, hot on the heels of the glaring success of Magic: The Gathering: Arena, has issued another "State of the Game" article for the software. They did the same in September, and it seems that it was a much more triumphant article than this month's piece. The first thing that was addressed by […]
When I say Magic: The Gathering is without question my favorite game, I mean that beyond the shadow of a doubt. I love the fantasy themes blended with the underscoring tropes of modern science-fiction, I love the characters and setting, and I love the gameplay. When I say that my favorite color of Magic is black by […]
Oh, how I love the color black. To me, it's the very best color in all of Magic: The Gathering. It's got all of the best and most powerful effects available to it – removal, card draw, direct life drain, reanimation, you name it! – at a rather minimal cost to you of a few […]
The biggest tournament in Magic: The Gathering: Arena, the Mythic Championship, is reaching its fifth go-around, and will be conducted this coming weekend. 68 players from across the globe are set to compete for thousands of dollars in prizes at that time, in Los Angeles, California at Thunder Studios. With that, Wizards of the Coast […]
This coming weekend of October 18th-20th, Magic: The Gathering will host their fifth Mythic Championship tournament. During those three days, 68 players will compete for $750,000 in prizes. Players will be facing off in Long Beach, California at Thunder Studios, via the Magic: The Gathering: Arena interface. And among those 68 players stands 31-year-old Czech former Hearthstone […]
Magic: The Gathering is chock-full of monsters – from Dragons, to Centaurs, to Merfolk and Leviathans, Magic has more than its share of interesting and complex creatures. Sometimes, however, some of these creatures are a little too hard to index. These creatures are often shoehorned into the categorical creature type of "Beast", which oftentimes doesn't do […]
Hang onto your hats for the next few weeks, folks – Magic: The Gathering: Arena speculation is about to get a bit hectic. Twitter page @MagicEsports, the account that manages the Twitter page for Magic: The Gathering: Arena, has posted a tweet as of yesterday (October 9th) stating that the next Banned and Restricted List […]
I picked up a copy of the "Knight's Charge" preconstructed Brawl deck for Magic: The Gathering yesterday. I quickly learned thereafter that it was an investment that was made amid a temporary and artificial scarcity on the part of Wizards of the Coast's methodologies. The biggest issue I had with picking this deck up was that […]
It's been a long couple of weeks. Between Kenrith, the Returned King, the Throne of Eldraine prerelease, the Brawl decks being converted to Commander decks, My Little Pony's crossover with Magic, and so much of my procrastination getting to finally provide you with a deck tech for Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale, I've been remarkably […]
Hello there, dear readers! It's been a hot minute since I wrote a Commander deck tech, what with all manner of news coming up for me to write this month, all rather coinciding with the times I've been planning to write this particular article. Surprisingly, a lot of you seem to have enjoyed the My […]
With the release of Throne of Eldraine out of the way, it is time once more for Magic: The Gathering's competitive events to commence! Last week saw a slight lull in this field of coverage because of the prerelease, but this past weekend things heated back up at MagicFest Montreal with Throne of Eldraine limited! On […]
Magic: The Gathering can be a real lesson-granting sort of game. You win some games, and you lose some games. But the games one plays in a casual setting are far different than what one would find in a competitive setting, especially if it's within a newly-developing metagame. This is no less true on Magic: The […]
