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 […]

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. But it seems like the prices have started to rebound a lot quicker this time around. There’s a slight possibility they could drop again […]

Magic Origins in Modern: Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy

Trevor Holmes — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 16:00:59 +0000

With Magic Origins finally in our hands, and the results of two Standard SCG events in the books, weeks of predictions and conjecture concerning our new gifts can finally be put to the test. While no large, high-level Modern events will occur for a few weeks, we still have MTGO Daily results, SCG IQ’s, and […]

Magic Origins – Early Hits and Misses

Sheridan Lardner — Tue, 21 Jul 2015 16:00:53 +0000

Magic Origins hit tournament floors this past weekend with mixed results across multiple formats. Although cards like Hangarback Walker, Jace, Vryn's Prodigy, and Thopter Spy Network made a big impression in Standard events like SCG's Premier Qualifier in Chicago, Origins' Modern impact was much more modest. We'll need more time to see how Origins performs […]

Modern Playables – Magic Origins Edition

Sheridan Lardner — Mon, 06 Jul 2015 16:30:16 +0000

Magic Origins has arrived! Origins is the last of the Core sets (6th Edition, 10th Edition, M15, etc.), which marks the end of an era for how sets are released. It's fitting that a set like this will have some high-impact Modern playables, but the bar was already set high in Khans block. Maybe a […]

Tempo After Day’s Undoing and Magic Origins

Jordan Boisvert — Fri, 03 Jul 2015 16:00:08 +0000

Thank God it’s Friday. In other words, time for another article about everyone’s favorite transforming bug. I’ve dabbled in midrange, combo, aggro, and control, but only tempo consistently stimulates me to learn everything I can about Magic. As such, most of my Magic knowledge is tempo-based, and you can always expect me to write articles focused […]

Four Hidden Gems From Magic Origins

Sheridan Lardner — Mon, 29 Jun 2015 16:01:44 +0000

Spoiler and preview seasons always have ups and downs. There are the ups of amazing cards and the downs of Limited fodder. There are also the ups of instant recognition of a format staple (hello, Atarka's Command), and the downs of embarrassing card evaluation failures ("Treasure Cruise = overcosted jank gg wizards"). Magic Origins, the […]

Twister, Go: Day’s Undoing in Modern

Jordan Boisvert — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 16:00:48 +0000

Sometimes, Wizards spoils a card that seems potentially powerful if a game operates in an unconventional way. When they do, Magic players often hit the forums to discuss its implications. Day’s Undoing is reaching Treasure Cruise-esque levels of hype, which makes perfect sense – like Cruise, the card provides a game-breaking effect (literally power) for […]
