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 […]

Hello, readers and welcome to the Thursday edition of the Daily Stock Watch! It has been a week of reviews that involved cards that have minimal to no impact in Modern and Standard, and I plan on ending the week by following that trend with today’s feature. It’s another one of those cards that you […]

Julian looks at a Commander deck that may not make any friends, but can certainly win games. If you want to empty your opponents' hands and leave them devoid of resources, this may be the deck for you.

Sigmund explores this relationship and outlines some thoughts on how to overcome financial barriers of Standard.

Why is it then, with 14 to choose from, I only see one or two of them in decklists? Let's go through them, and see if we can find the problem: Ajani Goldmane - A […]
