I knew the word ‘planeswalker’ and that cards could fetch exorbitant prices even before the Logan Paul-infused Pokemon TCG boom, and that was about it. A flatmate’s boyfriend once tried to teach me the rules of the game in university and it went over my head. I didn’t even really get the mana system, let alone all the colours. Perhaps it’s not that complicated, but I’m used to Pokemon, one of the simplest TCGs around.

The preview season was rammed into just one day, the story was just two short chapters, so people were feeling pretty fed up before the set even launched.

<![CDATA[Should You Play MTG Arena Or Magic Spellslingers?]]> With two digital card games in the Magic Multiverse, it's natural that players will gravitate toward one or the other. Both games have their merits, and you could certainly play both if you wanted. Chances are, though, that each individual player will gravitate to one over the other.

<![CDATA[Alchemy Horizons: Battle For Baldur's Gate Draft And Sealed Tips – MTG Arena]]> The release of Magic: The Gathering's Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate introduced something Magic has never seen before: an Arena-exclusive limited format. Baldur's Gate is the first Arena-only Alchemy set to be designed with its very own draft environment. Containing reprints from Adventures In The Forgotten Realms, tweaked cards from the tabletop set Commander Legends: Battle For Baldur's Gate, and 81 made-for-Arena cards brand new to the game, this combination of cards led to a very interesting set.

<![CDATA[Magic: The Gathering's Explorer Format Makes Me Hate Cat Ovens More Than Ever]]> Explorer is the best thing to happen to Magic: The Gathering Arena in years. It tossed aside the digital-first design of Alchemy and Historic, and gave us a non-rotating, ‘true-to-tabletop’ format once again. Best of all, it’s a stepping stone, as Wizards will update Explorer until it’s functionally indistinguishable from tabletop’s popular Pioneer format.

<![CDATA[The Best Cards With Flash In Pioneer – MTG]]> Flash is a mechanic in Magic: The Gathering that allows you to play a permanent at instant speed.

<![CDATA[Great Budget Standard Decks For Magic: The Gathering Arena]]> Magic: The Gathering has always been pretty expensive to get into, especially if you want to be competitive. But that cost might be prohibitive for some, since it is just a hobby after all. This is why budget decks are a thing. A lot of people will shrug at the thought of a budget deck, assuming that they're weaker than more expensive decks just because they don't contain ten mythic rares and 20 rares.

<![CDATA[The Best Combos For Alchemy In Magic: The Gathering Arena]]> While it may be among the newest formats to grace Magic: The Gathering's constructed offerings, Alchemy has already become no stranger to the power of combo decks. A combo deck works by assembling a handful of cards that synergize with one another onto the battlefield, then exploiting said synergies. Sometimes, combo decks provide a leg up that makes it a lot easier for your deck to achieve victory.

<![CDATA[Magic: The Gathering Quiz Will Test Your Counterspell Knowledge]]> Casual guessing games have come back into vogue. We can likely attribute that to the massive success of Wordle and its various knockoffs, but now people are starting to look beyond the Wordle template in their guessing games.

<![CDATA[Magic: The Gathering Artist Receives Unannounced Card In Secret Lair Box]]> A few months ago, we got a sneak peek at one of the most anticipated Secret Lair drops ever to hit Magic: The Gathering. To go along with the cyberpunk theme of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, Wizards of the Coast hired artist Ben Schnuck to create a set of synthwave full-art lands. The total lack of shading meant that the only difference between the island and mountain cards was the color of the lines, but that’s unlikely to deter anyone but the most colorblind of Magic players.

<![CDATA[Best Combos For Magic: The Gathering Arena]]> Historic is a non-rotating Magic: The Gathering format made specifically for Arena. While Historic was originally implemented as a casual format for Arena players to make use of cards that had rotated out of Standard, the deck builds that have risen to the top of the format are anything but casual. In fact, they often require more foresight and decision branches than many Modern decks.

<![CDATA[The Best Decks For Historic – MTG Arena]]> One of the most successful format introduced by Magic: The Gathering Arena so far, Historic allows Arena players to make use of cards that are no longer legal in Standard after rotation. In a sense, it's Magic Arena's very own eternal format.

<![CDATA[The Best Alchemy Decks – MTG Arena]]> Alchemy is Magic: The Gathering Arena's very own Standard format that includes cards with mechanics only applicable in a digital-only environment. For example, seek is a mechanic that causes a player to randomly search their library for a card. While this mechanic would be difficult to implement in paper Magic, it works perfectly fine in an online environment where the system does the randomized search for you.
