But then I think to myself, "Nah, let's go and make more content for them!" Those moments are good to write about – it's a decent way to reflect. As such, today's deck techs will reflect on the two cards centered around Amonkhet's former God of Wisdom, Kefnet the Mindful (and his eternalized counterpoint, God-Eternal Kefnet). Source:[...]

As we covered on the site on Saturday, Autumn Burchett, a Magic: The Gathering pro player who openly identifies as nonbinary, had been instructed by a Wizards of the Coast official to remove the basic land cards from their deck before playing in the main event in MagicFest Richmond. I was instructed by tournament officials to remove[...]

It's arguably, if not definitely, my best deck, and I was certain that during the three rounds of the tournament I'd get as far as maybe Round Two, if not a bit farther depending on the pairings.

Wizards of the Coast has been pretty good about pumping out a ton of original content for Dungeons & Dragons, but sometimes, you need to go back Back in 2014, we got back-to-back adventures that tied into each other with Hoard Of The Dragon Queen and The Rise Of Tiamat Meant to be played in[...]

Terese Nielsen, a Magic artist, was found to be one of these people through her own Twitter posts, and although she has retracted these statements and has said that she has changed her stance, she still has liked Tweets by controversial groups.

The commander: Chainer, Dementia Master. Source: Wizards of the Coast Chainer, Dementia Master is a 3/3 for 3BB, with – at first glance – a small, niche anthem (one that doesn't even affect himself), a recursive ability with a large cost, and a horrendous downside if not worked around However, he is capable of working alongside such[...]

As such, we will be leading this Commander deck off with her. Source: Wizards of the Coast The deck as discussed in this article can be found here. This deck will encompass what a lot of Commander players would deem the harshest archetype of the format: "Stax" Named after Smokestack, a card which used attrition to weaken and[...]

With the promising idea that there may well be updated depictions of the Theroan pantheon of gods (as much a simple idea as the gods of Theros themselves), I have decided to devote a fair few of my next Commander deck techs to the gods, both of Theros… and of Amonkhet.

Nearly a month ago, Wizards of the Coast unveiled plans to release a "Mystery Booster" product for Magic: The Gathering The details – any and all of them, save for the packaging and its existence at MagicFest Richmond onwards – were completely hidden from anyone Today, MagicFest Richmond's high point occurred when the mysterious booster pack[...]

However, as we are looking to condense this "Gideon-tribal" article into the space of one deck, the Oathbreaker we are using to pilot this deck will be Gideon of the Trials.

So, we are using her Kaladeshi incarnation, Chandra, Torch of Defiance. Source: Wizards of the Coast Now, as for the Signature Spell for Chandra, I didn't want to go all technical this time with cards like Price of Progress or Lightning Bolt I wanted something that could encapsulate the goal of the (failed, in real life) Gunpowder[...]

Yesterday, November 4th, was the first day that the updates started rolling out. This update took a bit of time for Wizards of the Coast to write up We the players were told by Aaron Forsythe, Vice President of Design for Magic, that the updates would be announced after their lunch break, but we didn't see[...]

There were other deck archetypes representing the Top Eight, including Azorius (blue-white) Control, Rakdos (red-black) Sacrifice, and Four-Color Sacrifice.

Specifically, we are going to look at her card from the Eldritch Moon expansion set: Liliana, the Last Hope.

Linden, Emry, Ayara, Torbran, and Yorvo make a quick cycle of five alone, but they're certainly not the only ones I've done as the Brawl decks were covered, as was the Buy-A-Box promo.
