Top Quality MTG Cards, Tournament Playable
Despite March of the Machine: The Aftermath being a bit of a dud release, there are some underrated cards such as Cosmic Rebirth, which is seeing some Modern and Pioneer play. However, there’s merit to running Cosmic Rebirth in a Selensya or multicolor Commander strategy as you can recur a permanent card back onto the […]
Sometimes, you just want to be rewarded for casting massive creatures, and Sarkhan’s Unsealing offers this in abundance. Granted, it’s situational depending on the build, but this Core Set 2019 card can be devastating with Commanders such as Rakdos, Lord of Riots and Maelstrom Wanderer at the helm. Being able to deal four damage to […]
Perhaps one of my favorite budget cards to run in Commander is Public Enemy, and one that always forces the opponents to read the card because it just doesn’t see that much play often. From Streets of New Capenna, Public Enemy is a fantastic card if you want to force the table to defeat a […]
From Modern Horizons 2 is Out of Time, an Enchantment that offers an interesting way to remove all creatures from play for a period of time. Featuring an old keyword in Vanishing, Out of Time allows you to phase the board of each creature on the battlefield and add a Time counter for each creature […]

Essentially, the Shadow creature is unblockable due to the lack of Shadow […]
Sweepers are a crucial part of Commander where White often has the best answers in Wrath of God and the recently printed Sunfall from March of the Machine. However, Black can accommodate with board wipes such as the iconic Damnation and Toxic Deluge, but these options can be somewhat expensive to a budget-minded player. Languish […]
Wheel effects in Commander are often desirable as they offer a soft reset but can be back-breaking in the correct strategy. Ruin Grinder is an excellent option for those who love playing Artifacts in Commander, especially paired with an effect such as Trash for Treasure, where you can gain even more value by returning another […]
Commander continues to be one of the most popular and accessible Magic: The Gathering formats around, with hundreds of different ways to express yourself within the singleton format. Given the breadth of cards and releases these days, it’s impossible to keep up with all the new cards that see print, and in some cases, you […]
They say cards that give your opponents a choice are bad, because your opponents will always pick the option that’s the worst for you and best for them. Well, when the choice is between Mind Control or Time Walk, good luck making a choice that’s bad for your opponent! Expropriate – especially when copied – […]
