60 to 100 — Valduk and the Ultra Budget Brew Takeover!!!

That's right folks, you read the headline right. This may be the place where you normally find a sweet brew inspired by some 60-card stack, but that's not the case this time. Standard is in flux, Modern has been stable (which is a very good thing!), and Reserve List buyouts have me fussy about Legacy […]

Commander Focus — Grand Warlord Radha

Picture in your mind an elf that taps for mana. These are colloquially known as "mana dorks". Given that descriptor, you can probably extrapolate some ideas about this type of character. Do those ideas include decent power and toughness, haste, and an urge to charge into combat? Grand Warlord Radha is in fact an elf, […]

EDHREC Dominaria Set Review — Red

Red. It's the color of love and blood, and it's the color I've always thought was best personified by this dude; a confused meathead spinning his wheels, yelling the dumbest thing possible. Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt! As time has passed though, I've softened a bit on red and her place in Magic, and come to […]
