Ryan examines the first waves of spoilers for potential gems.

Check out the Journey Into Nyx Spoilers on our official [JOU] Mini-Site! I’m certainly not highlighting a flashy card today. In fact, it’s as wooly as they come. In fact, it’s a sheep. Actually, I suppose that makes me a sheep-ist or something, because it’s not really a sheep. It’s a ram. A big, strong […]

Check out the Journey Into Nyx Spoilers on our official [JOU] Mini-Site! Say what you want about the playability of the gods, but the truth is most of them are cool because of their abilities, not necessarily their stats. Sure, Thassa turns into a creature pretty regularly (especially in my Modern Merfolk deck), but most […]

Check out the Journey Into Nyx Spoilers on our official [JOU] Mini-Site! It’s not often we come to talk about a Common from a new set. Gods? Sure. Planeswalkers? Absolutely. But Commons? Well, today I want to talk about one that I believe is important enough to warrant mentioning. So what makes this card so […]

Check out the Journey Into Nyx Spoilers on our official [JOU] Mini-Site! Get out of here City of Brass. Move over, Reflecting Pool. We’ve got a new contender in town. I won’t lie, this was a surprise. A new five-color land, a full year after Ravnica block? Maybe a bit random, but we have a […]

Check out the Journey Into Nyx Spoilers on our official [JOU] Mini-Site! There’s nothing more fun than taking extra turns.  Seriously, we all love to do it. And thanks to a sweet new spoiler from Journey into Nyx, now we can do it  in Standard. All the talk has been about the combos. Basically, using […]

Today Corbin looks at the casual cards he has been targeting recently, with an eye to long-term, but near-guaranteed, gains.

Check out the Journey Into Nyx Spoilers on our official [JOU] Mini-Site! What do you think? Is this really a godsend to Standard or just another big, useless equipment? It’s certainly a cool effect. Elspeth’s Sword is flashy, that’s for sure. The fact you can get rid of any creature and then get additional value […]

Check out the Journey Into Nyx Spoilers on our official [JOU] Mini-Site!   We’ve now seen another of the gods from Journey into Nyx, and again we aren’t disappointed. Much like his R/W buddy, Keranos is extremely powerful. There’s no that all the gods have delivered so far (okay, maybe not Ephara), and Keranos is no […]

Check out the Journey Into Nyx Spoilers on our official [JOU] Mini-Site! Spoilers are upon us, and everyone wants to talk about Journey Into Nyx. One of the cards that’s really drawn a lot of attention is Eidolon of Blossoms, because of how powerful it is to draw cards just for playing other cards. That’s […]

People are constantly decrying the state of Standard. “It’s all Mono-Black” or “it’s all Control” is what you hear. People are always on the lookout for new decks to take to Friday Night Magic and try to break the metagame. Well, here’s one take on it you may not have yet seen. Untitled Deck Spells […]

One of the more interesting discussions on the Internet today (at least when it comes to the world of Magic finance), is the question of what the best long-term spec is to stock up on. The original post over on Reddit created a flurry of responses, and I thought I would weigh in as well. […]

It’s crazy to me that no one has really considered this before, but think about it. In 2009, this report estimated that 12 million players played Magic, and a quote from a Hasbro official in 2011 seconded this. Since then, numbers released from Hasbro show that Magic has grown steadily (the player base grew 29% […]
