Welcome back to Weird Harvest, where we strive to weaponize jank to our strategic advantage. This week I figured we would take a break from our regularly scheduled programming to spotlight a deck building concept that is the embodiment of jank. It’s no secret that artifacts are a critical component of our format, with just […]

Welcome back to Weird Harvest, the column devoted to all things jank. This week we have our sights set on an Esper commander that tries to do something on its color identity. I know, the notion shocked me as well when it initially occurred to me. As I contemplated this thought for a bit it […]

There’s something to be said about the unexpected. Since our format is predominantly multiplayer, it has the potential to yield some hilarious results.

New product release is always an exciting time in Magic. We get to rummage through all the new toys and tinker with them until we find what we like most. I was lucky enough to have a reader comment on my last article with a request that gave me the opportunity to tinker with purpose. […]
