Time to compleat your collection before All Will Be One! With the new Phyrexian-themed set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, just around the corner, there is a strongly renewed interest in all things Phyrexian. Particularly with the preview of the brand-new Elesh Norn, who seems to be even more ridiculous than her first iteration, Phyrexians haven’t been … Read more

The Phyrexians are back with a vengeance. Magic: The Gathering’s latest Standard set, Dominaria United, was released on September 9th, and takes players back to the plane of Dominaria, a place filled with familiar tribes, locations, and planeswalkers.

A Black Tarmogoyf? In my Standard format!? We’ve had access to the Lost Caverns of Ixalan cards for about a week. That’s not enough time to “solve” formats or to explore everything that might be out there.

Being filled with powerful cards lacking meaningful color restrictions means the contents of artifact-based sets are just that more likely to see widespread play, and Fifth Dawn is no exception. It won’t surprise you to … Read more

No humans found here! Eventide dropped back in 2008, concluding the two-set Shadowmoor block.
