Commander can be a lot to take in, especially when you’re deciding on your next leader. Two commanders that see a lot of table time are Atraxa, Praetors’ Voice and Edgar Markov. They both have strong identities, but they lead to very different decks. Here’s a breakdown of how each one shapes deck construction, what […]
When you’re playing mono-black in Magic: The Gathering, facing off against a deck stuffed with counterspells can feel like you’re climbing a steep hill. You cast your big threat, and it’s immediately countered. You set up a combo, but a single well-timed “No” ruins your plans. It’s frustrating, and sometimes it makes you question if […]
Magic: The Gathering has all kinds of rules, but one question that comes up is whether you can attack yourself. The short answer is no, not under normal circumstances.

It’s common to see players drop a lot of money on flashy, expensive staples thinking these cards will automatically make their decks better. But budget decks continue to thrive and often beat expectations. If top tier cards mean victory, why do […]
Wizards of the Coast is currently polishing their new Commander power level ranking system—a four-tiered structure where certain powerhouse cards determine which bracket your deck falls into. Naturally, we still don’t have all the details, and Gavin has made it clear that community feedback will be important as they finalize the approach. That’s what set […]
