Rivals of Ixalan preview — Green
January 10, 2018 by
Dana Roach
Welcome to the green preview for Rivals of Ixalan, brought to you by EDHREC and me, the guy who writes articles making fun of Cancel. I hope you're as excited about Rivals as I am, because I really am excited! Confession: Ixalan is my favorite set since Return to Ravnica, and it's not close. I […]

Currently, there are 2,536 decks in the EDHREC database running Fog, and not a single one of them should have it as part of the 99. Welcome back to In the Margins, a periodic column where I make grandiose, dismissive statements about decent, playable cards like Fog. And Fog is absolutely playable. It's got a […]

Currently there are 5,363 decks in the EDHREC database running Clone, and not a single one of them should have it as part of the 99. Once again I'm lying. Clone is fine and there are probably decks that want every clone effect possible. There might be one at the end of this article. I […]

Ixalan EDH Review — Blue
September 19, 2017 by
Dana Roach
Ixalan is upon us, in all its colorful, dino-riding, neck-biting, treasure-hunting glory. It's a bright colorful set dominated by four distinctive tribes all chasing after an elusive lost city of gold. And given their toned-down presence it's possible that maybe, just maybe this world will be left in one piece when we move on in the spring […]

News — Change to the legendary rule
August 30, 2017 by
Dana Roach
The Bearer of News This week we were hammered with a barrage of Magic-related news ranging from changes to the banned/restricted list for Vintage to coverage of the Ixalan leaks from earlier in the summer. Snuggled cozily in between all of that, however, is probably the most EDH relevant bit of information: "Starting with this […]

Commander 2017 — A Brief History of Vampires
August 28, 2017 by
Dana Roach
“He thought, in fine, that the dreams of poets were the realities of life.” The first pack of Revised I ever opened contained a Sengir Vampire. At the time it was a bomb card. A 4/4 flyer for five was insane. Better hope you draw that Shivan Dragon, son. Still, the power level of the card […]

"To make you a vampire they have to suck your blood. And then you have to suck their blood. It's like a whole big sucking thing." Buffy Summers Day three of Commander 2017 spoiler week leaned heavily into vampires starting off in the wee hours of the morning with our first Mardu bloodsucker legend. As someone […]
