We've already had a few days to try out the new mini set Alchemy: Edge of Eternities on MTG Arena, and today we're taking a look at the cards that are seeing the most play in the Alchemy format and are performing the best! This time, ranking the top 8 cards in the set was more difficult than usual, because the power level seems so well distributed, with plenty of playable cards, but no real powerh...

Remember the last time there was a ban in Standard? We needed it so badly that the format was almost unplayable and two different decks were way too powerful compared to everything else. We aren't in as dire a situation currently, but this time it is arguably more annoying and unfun. Magic Spotlight just wrapped up in Orlando and we saw a top 8 field that had 75% Vivi Cauldron representation. The ...

The Standard RCQ season is in full swing, and although it's still early, it is always nice to get that first qualification out of the way. I was fortunate enough to do that a week ago at a local RCQ and it was with this demon list that I finalized a little bit before heading over to the event. Things worked out really well for me, as I only dropped one match all day, and the person who handed me m...

Sometimes, we all just need to play goofy Commander cards in Standard. And sometimes, a set like Foundations brings a ton of goofy Commander cards to Standard for us to play with, such as Rise of the Dark Realms. Rise of the Dark Realms is the single highest-power reanimation spell in the game, but it has an absolutely crippling mana cost that's very difficult to get to in a format like Standard… ...

Arena Anthologies have quietly become some of the most exciting releases on Magic: The Gathering Arena. Unlike regular sets, these curated bundles drop iconic cards straight into Arena, and their impact is immediate. For formats like Timeless and especially Brawl, they can completely reshape the landscape overnight. With the latest drops, we've seen cards that not only power up competitive strateg...

With the arrival of Edge of Eternities on MTG Arena, the current goal of many players is to collect the new cards, so they are therefore focusing on limited, so as to also practice for the Qualifier Weekend on August 23, which will be sealed. However, the Premier Draft is not the only way to farm cards; the platform also offers a valid alternative for constructed players: the Best-of-One Events! I...

Insidious Roots is one of my favorite cards in the current standard that encourages all kinds of silly builds involving the graveyard and pulling creatures out of it in one way or another. One popular build prior to our recent rotation featured Osteomancer Adept and Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler to create a self-feeding engine that could play out an entire deck and fling an enormous plant for a win. If ...

If you're looking for an off-meta brew to take down your opponents at your next Standard event, this mono-red Dragons list might be exactly what you need. It's a budget-friendly build that still delivers explosive plays, letting you punish slower decks with early pressure and finish with hard-hitting flyers. Between efficient removal, treasure-powered ramp, and game-ending threats, this deck can g...
