TLDR You’re about to do the most powerful social play in Magic: The Gathering: how to ask an LGS about MTG proxies without making it weird. Because here’s the truth. Local game stores do not wake up excited to adjudicate The Great Proxy Debate. They just want a smooth night, happy regulars, and nobody yelling […]
TLDR Buying expensive lands in Magic the Gathering sucks. MTG fetch lands are a special kind of annoying. Especially lands that you almost always immediately put in the graveyard to find other, less expensive lands. A Scalding Tarn these days can fetch (pun intended) anywhere from “not cheap” to “why is cardboard like this,” depending […]
TLDR If you’re here because you typed “is legendary a card type mtg” and then stared at a type line like it personally offended you, welcome. Magic has multiple label systems stacked on top of each other because one label system would be too calm and reasonable. Is legendary a card type in MTG? Nope. […]
TLDR If you searched how to remove poison counters mtg, you’re probably sitting at 6 poison, staring at an Infect creature, and realizing your 40 life total is mostly a decorative number. Poison is the glitter of Magic. Once it’s on you, it’s hard to get off, and it will absolutely show up in the […]
TLDR You’re asking MTG ramp vs lands, which is basically the eternal deckbuilding argument between “I want to cast spells” and “I want to cast more spells than everyone else.” Both sides are correct. Both sides are also frequently lying to themselves. The real question is: what problem are you trying to solve? Because lands […]
TLDR Baseball has “rookie cards.” Magic has “first printings.” And then Secret Lair looked at both hobbies and said, “What if we combined them and made everyone mildly uncomfortable in new ways?” That’s basically the whole vibe of Magic: The Baseballing Secret Lair. It’s five iconic planeswalkers presented like baseball trading cards, complete with the […]
This post helps MTG players figure out when proxies are okay in WPN stores by explaining what “sanctioned” actually means, so they can show up prepared and avoid awkward conversations that start with “sooooo, about your deck…” TLDR The awkward truth about “MTG Proxies in WPN Stores” If you’ve ever heard “proxies are fine at […]
At some point, every Magic player has grabbed a deck box and thought: “Wait. Is this my Azorius control deck or my Dimir control deck?” National Sticker Day is a great excuse to fix that problem with one small, satisfying upgrade: stickers. National Sticker Day hits January 13. It’s meant to celebrate the humble sticker, […]
TLDR You’re here for MTG burst draw vs engines, and yes, it matters. Not because “value is good” (we already know that). It matters because the wrong kind of draw makes your deck feel like it’s always one turn behind, which is a very poetic way to lose. The real difference: burst draw vs engines […]
LDR You can build the most polite, table-friendly proxy deck on Earth, and still ruin someone’s night with one tiny detail: the back of the card. MTG proxy backs are where a lot of real-world proxy problems either get solved quietly, or start a chain reaction of confusion, suspicion, and that one guy at the […]
