The holidays are in full swing and the new year is right around the corner. And as some of you may know, the stock market has been a bit shaky in the last month or so. But it seems Magic is still doing pretty well during this slightly volatile time. I think a good portion […]

Ultimate Masters is still in full bounce back mode, and the last World Magic Cup has come to a finish. Plus, some sweet Ravnica Allegiance spoilers have hit the market so there’s gonna be a nice mix of things to talk about again in this piece. Owing to the spoilers, this might be a little […]

Magic Online has a problem. A card value problem. In a recent Channel Fireball article, Florian Koch showed just how much card prices have fallen over the past few years: That's right. To own a playset of the cheapest version of every Magic card ever printed on MTGO would have cost you roughly $28,000 in […]

This is the first article from my new series, MTG Questions. You might be familiar with the Hold ‘Em & Fold ‘Em series (rebranded as MTG Metagame Finance), which takes a tournament-oriented perspective. I decided to start this series to focus on more general aspects of MTG finance. The two series will work together, as when […]

Many people have been saying there’s been a little less movement regarding Magic finance during the past few weeks or months. Some people are saying there’s a slowdown. Others are saying it’s normal because the holidays are around the corner and players have less money to spend on Magic cards. Regardless, Magic continues to move […]

The Chain Veil Superfrienddddddddds AAAASSSSEMMMMMBLLLLLE! Do the Superfriends say that? I don't know - DC sucks. Sorry, it's true. Marvel for life. This is a good card in the right deck. This is confusing flavor-wise but If you have enough Planeswalkers to take advantage of this. If you do, it's likely you have 100 cards […]

Carlos ports the classic budget contender, mono-red burn, to the world of ninety-nine cards and proves firebreathing can be cheap and effective in Commander too.

We are hot into the second half of Champions of Kamigawa this week. Though the set had less power than Mirrodin, it was still full of interesting cards. The set even has a few power uncommons that I bet you didn't know about... no, I'm not talking about that damn Top! Find out what Rat is worth more than Meloku in this week's article!

Sometimes, decks have a pretty solid theme and plan. When you're building the Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician deck you know it's going to be both a burning blade of doom and gooey pile of in-your-own-face explosions. See what Carlos has been cooking with for for weeks!

Being full of gas can be a bad thing but not in Commander! In this format the best of us run out of gas, miss land drops, and topdeck nothing but duds all game. This week David hits card advantage in Commander and how different types of card draw fulfill very different roles.
