Today’s article subject spawned from a discussion that began in the QS Discord chat. One of our members was contemplating stepping away from the game for a while and wanted to know the best place to park his money and/or what to trade into. As expected, a lot of people immediately jumped to Power. The general […]

The sequel to Guilds of Ravnica and the 80th expansion set in Magic: The Gathering‘s history is due to release on January 25, 2019.  Here’s what we know about Ravnica Allegiance (RNA) so far, including any cards in the spoiler, the guilds represented, and cards to speculate on before the full spoiler is released.   The Guilds […]

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 […]

This is the first article from my new series, MTG Questions. You might be familiar with the Hold ‘Em & Fold ‘Em series (rebranded as MTG Metagame Finance), which takes a tournament-oriented perspective. I decided to start this series to focus on more general aspects of MTG finance. The two series will work together, as when […]

Welcome back, folks. As a result, drafting participation across MTGO has declined even as Constructed participation has grown. Guilds of Ravnica competitive draft participation was roughly equivalent to that of Hour of Devastation (consistently sustaining about 600-650 participants). Ixalan consistently sustained about 700-750 participants, Rivals of Ixalan 750-800, and Dominaria 850-900. That’s a 29-percent decrease from […]

Here are some of my assorted thoughts about the set. This guy is a trap. If you get him later than pack 1, I wouldn’t bother. You need to draft every pack with this in mind and even then, your 15th pick Lizard Warrior is going in the deck. Still, if you draft 5 color […]

There are a ton of reprints in Conspiracy. I’m interested in the new cards. I don’t need to tell you that Squirrel Nest is good in Limited. Let’s take a look at new stuff. Today, I’ll go through the Conspiracies. Like we said yesterday, Conspiracies appear to be similar to Vanguard cards. If you draft […]

How awesome is that? I know you probably don’t need an introduction to this card, but if you do I can sum it up simply: SQUIRRELS! Seriously, everyone seems to love Squirrels. And Squirrel tokens. And Squirrel Nests. It’s a combo with Earthcraft to make all the Squirrels, and it’s a combo that sees some […]

Neale likes to crush. Green is good at that. Now he seeks the very best…
