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 […]

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 […]

Welcome back, folks. It's been a while since I last wrote an article, in large part because I've been unwilling to make any financial moves on MTGO before reading the December 6th announcement about competitive play on Arena. What is announced there could have major ramifications for investing on MTGO, and so I've been very […]

Put away your godbooks everyone, we've got the full spoiler! Going into the weekend, I was thinking the entire spoiler didn't come out until next week. Clearly, though, either I'm an idiot (likely) or someone leaked out the set. I'm going to guess the former. With the remaining cards, there are no more big surprises, […]

The title says it all. A bet in which a random Redditor said he would eat a Misty Rainforest if Lucent Liminid wasn't in Journey into Nyx. Guess what? It wasn't. And it's time to pay up. Apparently he doesn't own a Misty, so there's a Marsh Flats sitting in to do the job. Here is […]

Everyone loves a good Mesmeric Fiend, right? Definitely a powerful card back when it was printed, it's an effect we haven't seen in quite some time. Until now, that is. So that art is sweet, right? Besides that, I expect that this will see some play. Not a ton, since Sin Collector kind of fills […]

I'm not exactly a Red player myself, but I know those who are love themselves a good Threaten. Or Traitorous Instinct. Or any of these type of effects. Well, here's a good one.   It's kind of snuck into the background, but this is a really powerful card. Red decks have used Threaten effects in […]
