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.

Mtg Arena Has Been Framed! Who Is the Real MTGO Killer?

Kyle Rusciano — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 10:00:44 +0000

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. What is announced there could have major ramifications for investing on MTGO, and so I've been very […]

Standard, where are you taking us?

Mike Lanigan — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 20:31:24 +0000

It's quite interesting how a new set affects the landscape of Standard. Not only are their hundreds of new cards added to the pool of playable options, but suddenly cards already legal become better or worse based on the existence of these new cards. Some of the new cards are so powerful they demand to […]
