The Edge of Eternity spoilers are progressing well, with a full reveal expected on July 17th and the official release set for August 1st. Unlike all the other sets so far, which have been set on a dimensional plane, Edge of Eternity takes us outside the entire Multiverse and introduces us to the “Edge,” the enormous region of open space that surrounds it, described as bordering the Blind Eternities. Specifically, the set focuses on the Sothera system, a planetary system of five worlds, each tied to a color of mana, orbiting a collapsed sun that now forms a huge black hole called Sothera.

We're already in the midst of the Tarkir spoiler (dragon) storm, with the new set headed to MTG Arena on April 8th and the release date set for the 11th. While we are receiving new cards daily , a little at a time, all the new mechanics that will be part of this set have already been revealed, and we can therefore already start taking a look at them! Tarkir: Dragonstorm is structured into five tricolor clans, and each of them is attributed a new identifying mechanic, in addition to two new generic ones that you can find everywhere.

Aetherdrift has finally been fully spoiled, and with the upcoming prerelease starting February 7th, let's take a look at what's up in the new set! As usual, I will show you each of its color pairs for Limited, but not in this article, because here I will focus on the mechanics and keywords you will encounter. Aetherdrift is a racing competition between 10 teams and takes place across three planes. This is beautifully reflected not only in the design of the cards but also in their abilities and keywords, which we can divide into three groups, perfectly in line with the key elements of the set:

The Historical Blind Spot I, Graham Bennett, aka HamHocks42, have not ever attended an in-person prerelease in a local game store prior to Outlaws of Thunder Junction. Over the past few years, I've been livestreaming MTG almost exclusively while also putting out YouTube content and even commentating on MTG Arena tournaments while lacking a fundamental experience that, if social media is to be believed, is shared by every player of the game besides me. I've been playing Magic since 2003 when Scourge was the new hotness on store shelves. I was brought into the game by some high school friends and my experience back in those days was exclusively on kitchen tables, sidewalks, and living room floors. I took a long break after graduating high school in 2004 and got back into the game just as MTG Arena dropped and hype for War of the Spark was reaching a fever pitch in 2019.

Welcome Magic lovers! Ah yes, it's nearly that wonderful time of year when life begins to blossom again, love is in the air…and there are grisly murders that must be solved! That's right, in just over a week, on February 6th and 9th, Murders at Karlov Manor will drop on Magic Arena and at a local game store near you! Following in the footsteps of The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, a format with no less thansix different mechanics, Murders at Karlov Manor is also absolutely packed with different mechanics, complex cards and convoluted interactions to explore. Add to this the new pack layout being introduced with Play Boosters, and it's going to make for a very difficult format to navigate, but have no fear! Today we'll be going over some Sealed format basics and heuristics, while applying them to the upcoming set. Let's dive into the basics of building a Sealed deck! Step 1: How many bombs did we open and how can we get as many of them in the deck as possible?
