Intellectual Offering — Tymna and Sidar
It’s that time again. This week on Intellectual Offering we are going back to IO's roots and examining a deck on a card-for-card basis. Ok, that’s a small lie. This week we examine a couple of decks that are all actually one. This week I’m looking at and , two legendary creatures that are fantastic […]
Ultra Budget Brews — Ixalan
Hello and welcome back to Ultra Budget Brews, the column that plays EDH decks unsleeved like a godless savage, because sleeves are more expensive than the actual cards being played. I could use the previous sentence to segue into a joke about 'protection', but I'd want to find a gif for that and as I […]
Commander Showdown — Kess vs Dralnu
Flashback Attack Almost exactly eleven years ago, the Time Spiral set was released, shaking the world in ways players never expected.

Weird Harvest — Hail to the King, Baby!
Last time on Weird Harvest we explored the new lands of Ixalan with . This week I thought we would do something a bit different and step away from red and cover a mono-colored deck that is similar, but different enough in focus that it isn't a rehash. Who needs to turn trash into treasure when […]

Low Market — Lightning Strikes Twice
Saskia the Unyielding art by Greg Opalinski Lightning Strikes Twice Whether you're a grizzled Magic veteran or a bushy-tailed new player, chances are good that at some point before learning to play you listened to someone discussing the game and said to yourself, "I recognize the words they're using, but they may as well be speaking a different language."
