Preparing for the December 6th Announcement

Kyle Rusciano — Thu, 06 Dec 2018 22:37:50 +0000

Welcome back, folks. It's been a while since I last wrote an article, in large part because I've been unwilling to make any financial moves on MTGO before reading the December 6th announcement about competitive play on Arena.

Dragons of Tarkir Spoilers – 3/4/15

Jason Alt — Thu, 05 Mar 2015 18:51:05 +0000

Narset Transcendent I launched right into this. No preamble. No need. This card is bonkers. I saw a friend (hyperbolically) say this was better than Jace the Mind Sculptor.
