David Schumann — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 10:00:20 +0000

Today's article subject spawned from a discussion that began in the QS Discord chat.

MTG Metagame Finance #23 (Free Giveaway #2!)

Edward Eng — Fri, 14 Dec 2018 10:00:16 +0000

Ultimate Masters has hit the market and there’s already been a lot of movement. The prices of the reprints dropped as they usually do when a set first hits the market.

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.

Insider: Racking Up Rise of the Eldrazi

Douglas Linn — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 04:59:10 +0000

Rise of the Eldrazi is the Timmy dream set. It's what you'd get if you built a set with the premise of "no rush till turn 7" and packed mana accelerants in everything. The set is based around the Eldrazi, giant and evil old legends that awaken on Zendikar. There's a little bit of plot to this set, but mostly people remember weird drafts and a couple really big monsters.

Power Ranking the Standard Mythics

Chas Andres — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 06:47:21 +0000

In this week’s article, I am going to take a page from my favorite sportswriter, ESPN’s Bill Simmons. Near the beginning and middle of each major sports season, Bill always writes an article “power ranking” each team from worst to best. This acts as a handy way to get a feel for the relative power […]
