“Price spikes aren’t random. They’re receipts.” Two red cards that used to sit in binders are moving fast because new commanders actually use them. If you’ve built Gwen Stacy // Ghost-Spider or you’re eyeing Nathan Drake, Treasure Hunter, you’ve seen it: Charred Foyer // Warped Space and Ensnared by the Mara now matter. Here’s what […]
If you play a lot, creating your own proxy cards is one of the easiest ways to keep games fresh without emptying your wallet. I like it because it blends deckbuilding with light design work. You get to try wild ideas, tune lists fast, and still show up with a clean, readable stack. In this […]
Standard has been rough all summer. The 2025 MTG ban schedule mistake made it worse by locking action behind long windows. We lived through Cori-Steel Cutter and friends until June, then landed in Vivi Cauldron world. Wizards finally spoke up. The next ban announcement moves up. They also admitted the schedule was off, and they […]
You’d think grown adults flailing to pop songs wouldn’t trigger a meltdown, but welcome to Utah, land of long skirts, big hair, and even bigger grudges. If you’ve never heard of High Fitness, imagine an ‘80s aerobics video that escaped VHS, swallowed a Spotify playlist, and then asked for your lunch money. Emily Nelson co‑founded it, slapped […]
“Am I crazy for thinking these are incredibly pushed?” – a Reddit user asked hours after the cards leaked. That line sums up the mood around the new Sonic the Hedgehog Secret Lair. Wizards of the Coast promises three drops, each with its own slice of the blue blur’s universe, and sales start on July […]
It was noisy and electric on the floor of MagicCon when Pro Tour FINAL FANTASY kicked off. Hundreds of players packed into the hall. The prize pool was half a million dollars. And a spot at the World Championship hung in the balance. I felt the buzz before the first card flip. Competitive energy was […]
Magic: The Gathering entered 2025 at full speed. On February 14 the steampunk-tinged Aetherdrift hit stores and flooded Commander tables with “charge counter” toys. Less than two months later, Tarkir: Dragonstorm brought back ferocious dragons and the fan-favorite morph mechanic on April 11, rekindling memories of Khans versus Dragons. By mid-June, the real spectacle arrived: […]
Will and Rowan Kenrith are a pair of siblings from the Magic: The Gathering universe, specifically from a realm called Eldraine. They aren’t ordinary twins. For a while, they shared what’s called a planeswalker spark, a rare trait that lets them travel between worlds. That bond shaped much of their story and gave them a […]
Yes, in Magic: The Gathering, emblems do stack. Each emblem you acquire functions independently, and their effects accumulate. For instance, if you have multiple emblems from Sorin, Lord of Innistrad, each providing your creatures with +1/+0, your creatures would receive a combined bonus equal to the number of emblems you control. This cumulative effect applies […]
Magic: The Gathering (MTG) has a place in many people’s hearts because of the creativity it allows. You can build combos, control the board, or just summon a bunch of creatures that make sense together. One of the most beloved ways to do this is with a “tribal deck.” A tribal deck focuses on a […]
Magic: The Gathering has a variety of card types, and Equipment is one of the most flexible. Equipment artifacts can grant extra power, toughness, or even give creatures new abilities. But there’s a question many newer players ask: can you move Equipment around once it’s attached? Yes, you can, though there are certain rules you […]
Anime MTG cards, at their core, are simply Magic: The Gathering cards that feature an alternate art style inspired by anime.

They stand out from regular Magic cards […]
