Congratulations to Javier Dominguez for winning Magic: The Gathering: Arena's fifth Mythic Championship!

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. We went over the September article as well[...]

I also really like red magic as well (so hence why I was so enthused with the new iteration of Chainer that was printed in the Commander 2019 set (and that I did a deck tech on not too long ago). Today, hot on the heels of Linden, Questing Beast, and Ayara, my deck tech will[...]

How ghoulish!

Generally, expansion sets release each quarter, and other products release during the months not associated with those releases (though there are some glaring exceptions, such as the Brawl decks releasing with the Throne of Eldraine set as a whole). Source: Wizards of the Coast It has been revealed that "Theros: Beyond Death" and "Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths"[...]

The card is powerful enough to ban because of how repeatable and abusable it can be, since, unless the spell or ability are countered, the effect is so easy to achieve. Source: Wizards of the Coast I can see many similarities and parallels to cards like Sensei's Divining Top, in that the Top dodges removal like an[...]

Probably with no credit to Bleeding Cool for our deck tech on The Grand Calcutron or the upcoming Halloween deck tech for Grusilda, Monster Masher, Wizards of the Coast has unveiled their newest silver-bordered set for Magic: The Gathering Called "Unsanctioned", this set contains five 30-card mini-decks with silver-bordered, completely unsanctioned (heh) cards, save for basic lands[...]

Occasionally that type will be eschewed or added on to as new creature types are inevitably introduced to the game. Source: Wizards of the Coast Some Beasts are just a bit too legendary for that, though Today, we will be going over a Commander deck tech for Questing Beast, a creature that for many should need no[...]

But how well does this adventure actually hold up? We took a moment or two to explore the vast reaches of the familiar and tormenting places you can go for a proper review.

Today, we will be discussing my personal favorite Oathbreaker combination, Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage, plus Word of Command. Source: Wizards of the Coast Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage is a fantastic card to build an Oathbreaker deck around He discards cards from hands, and then he looks to see that your opponents are suffering for cards, and adds injury to[...]

Hang onto your hats for the next few weeks, folks – Magic: The Gathering: Arena speculation is about to get a bit hectic.

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 my local gaming store was selling these decks for $40 USD apiece I was informed that[...]

The Oathbreaker? Sorin, Lord of Innistrad. Source: Wizards of the Coast This deck tech will be revolving around Sorin with New Blood as his signature spell After all, what good is a spooky Planeswalking vampire lord without his spooky vampire minions?

Source: Wizards of the Coast The full decklist to be discussed in this article is here. With this deck, I wanted to write up a tech for mono-white Humans It made sense because while Linden can contort herself into any mono-white life gain deck worth its salt, a tribal theme seemed more apt than simply winning through[...]

I mean, friendship is magic, after all… Ponies and Knights!

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!

Running[...]

However, we will be doing this through the lens of Oathbreaker, a format created by a Magic-based charity known as WeirdCards. What's important about Oathbreaker is that this format makes Tibalt really, really good. Who, me?

Wizards of the Coast, owner of the world-famous card game Magic: The Gathering and a subsidiary of Hasbro, has teamed up with their mother-corporation to create a three-card crossover release for the card game based on the My Little Pony franchise.

Today, we at Bleeding Cool have the honor of reviewing the Planeswalker Decks, which feature Oko, the Trickster, and Rowan, Fearless Sparkmage.

I'm sure it'll be a "graveyard smash". Get ON with it! Source: Wizards of the Coast Okay, okay, Alela. So first off, I want you to remember that the decks I have built are specifically for Commander, and have little-to-no budgetary restrictions (that means there's a Tundra in here, among other cards of immense luxury…)[...]

Magic: The Gathering is rolling out their 82nd expansion set, Throne of Eldraine, and even though many, many people attended the prerelease events that Wizards of the Coast had held for the set, October 4th (this Friday!) can't come soon enough. That in mind, working at Bleeding Cool has its perks, for just last night I received[...]

Some others, not so much. Source: Wizards of the Coast And then, there are the big complaints.

Brace yourselves, it's a bit of a doozy.
