“Okay, so my creature survived… why does it still look like it got hit by a bus?” If you’ve ever stared at a 3/3 with two damage on it and wondered when it’s going to be “good as new,” you’re not alone. This is one of those early MTG questions that keeps coming up because […]
How many poison counters do you need to win in MTG? In Magic: The Gathering, the alternate win condition involving poison counters requires that you put ten poison counters on an opponent. Once an opponent accumulates ten poison counters, they automatically lose the game. In Magic: The Gathering, you can be at 40 life, feeling […]
Mono-White Commander used to feel like showing up to a potluck with a stack of napkins. Helpful, sure. But nobody is texting the group chat like, “can’t wait to see what Ryan’s bringing.” That reputation came from two real problems: white had a harder time drawing cards, and it rarely ramped in a clean, reliable […]

If you’ve ever sat down for Commander with strangers (or friends you love, but not that much), you’ve felt it: the awkward little pause before the game where someone says, “So… what power level are we playing?” And suddenly everyone forgets how language works. That’s the whole point of the Rule 0 conversation. It’s not […]

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 […]
Magic: The Gathering can be a bit daunting if you’re just starting out. Most new players focus on creatures and flashy spells, but lands are where everything begins. You need them to pay for your spells, and they affect how quickly (or slowly) you can get cards out of your hand and onto the battlefield. […]
