I know, it's been longer than expected since I last talked to you about our beloved Goblins, but, despite having a couple of updated brews, I preferred to wait for the arrival of Foundations for the possibility that they would add new ones... And so it was! On top of that, Masters has been confirmed for next month, so there’s a lot going on for Goblins as it becomes buildable in more and more versions! An example of this is the one we are about to see today, which wasn't among those planned and which I put together just a few days ago, being impressed by one card in particular during the Foundations spoilers.

Now that Magic: The Gathering Foundations is fully revealed, we can begin to look at limited, getting familiar with the cards and focusing on the color pairs and what they have in store for us. The paper prerelease will be playable starting this Friday, November 8th, while the digital prerelease on MTG Arena will be available as soon as the new set is imported, scheduled for November 12th. The first thing you need to know to understand the Foundations limited is that this set will exceptionally be legal in Standard for at least the next 5 years, and this obviously affects the quality of the cards. It can't be too high to avoid them monopolizing the format and making it stagnant for years.

While the Foundations spoiler is still ongoing (even though it's almost over), there is another one that has already ended, or rather never started, because Foundations Jumpstart (J25) was revealed in its entirety from the very first moment, without any spoiler session. This is because it's not actually a Magic set but rather an appendix to Foundations, which is the main set and to which all the hype is dedicated, being legal in Standard and with a higher concentration of relevant cards. Jumpstart, in fact, will not be legal in Standard, Pioneer, or Modern but will be playable only in Legacy and Vintage on paper and in Historic and Timeless on MTG Arena.

Last week Alchemy: Duskmourn arrived on MTG Arena and we tried to predict which cards would be the best and have the highest chance of seeing competitive play. Although it's still been a short time, today we already have some initial feedback on those that have actually been included in the decks, since obviously many are trying them and several lists have already been published with a fair amount of success in the ranked ladder of the format. Will the cards that we rated as the best prove to be up to expectations? Let's find out right away, analyzing the strongest and most interesting decks that contain the new cards from Alchemy: Duskmourn!

Alchemy: Duskmourn just released on MTG Arena and it's time to take a look at what's exciting for the Alchemy format! Like its predecessors, this mini set also consists of only 30 cards, divided into: 10 uncommons, 15 rares, and 5 mythics, but of course many of them have been designed for the limited format and only the best will see play in constructed. Today, we’ll try to predict which are these cards, selecting 10 of them and establishing a ranking from worst to best, so as to hype things up and make everything more interesting.

Modern Horizons 3 brought many new , interesting and powerful cards to MTG Arena, although not all of them saw play because they were overshadowed by other , even stronger cards or because they lacked the right synergies. The best example is probably Nadu, Winged Wisdom, which in Modern was one of the absolute protagonists for a few months until it deserved the ban, while it was basically unplayed in any of the digital platform's formats due to the absence of Shuko. Another card that generated a lot of hype during the spoilers, but then didn't live up to expectations, was the reprint of Kappa Cannoneer, which was already in Neon Dynasty Commander and therefore already played in Legacy. Its power level, however, seems to be absolutely respectable, with a whole series of stats that would potentially make it in line with the Historic format, but where probably there aren't yet the right tools to support it. To find out if this is the case, today we'll try to find the most suitable home for it, brewing a full artifact version that will make it the protagonist!

A new Historic Metagame Challenge will take place this weekend on MTG Arena (October 4-6) and it's therefore a great opportunity to get updated on the format, but above all to farm some booster packs. It’s been two months since the nerfs and the format has changed and never stopped evolving, despite the fact that there haven't been any competitive events since then, which would have helped establish a more accurate tier list. However, the ladder is always active and the most successful lists continue to be shared, so, based on the most popular decks, here are my top 5 choices to play currently in Historic, as well as in this Historic Metagame Challenge.

This September, the attention towards the Timeless format was higher than usual since, in addition to a Metagame Challenge, there was its first Qualifier Weekend on MTG Arena. Currently, the top tiers of the format seem to be three: Show and Tell, Mardu Energy, and Dimir Tempo, which coexist with each other, maintaining a rock-paper-scissors balance, despite the lines being thin and each of them having the right tools to beat its direct rival: Show and Tell is favored against Energy but disfavored against Dimir;
