Top Quality MTG Cards, Tournament Playable
Commander continues to be one of the most popular and accessible Magic 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 may easily […]
Appearing in Universes Beyond: Doctor Who, Cyber Conversion is a fantastic Blue “removal” spell that can deal with some tricky threats (such as opposing Commanders) in a frustrating way. Blue has always historically had exciting ways to manage threats, such as Pongify, Rapid Hybridization, and Reality Shift, but Cyber Conversion makes it difficult for that […]
A release that many Magic players forgot about but does have some hidden gems is Ravnica: Clue Edition, a small supplemental set that is inspired from the Clue board game. With this release, there’s a handful of new cards coupled with notable reprints such as Supreme Verdict and Council’s Judgment that are much more affordable […]
Appearing Commander: Phyrexia: All Will Be One is Glimmer Lens, a card you may have seen crop up in Magic Online’s Vintage Cube on occasion. However, the card serves well in any Commander Equipment-matters strategy or one that wants to attack early and keep the action flowing. Furthermore, Glimmer Lens could be reasonable in an […]
While Path of the Pyromancer does read as a “Jeska’s Will at home”, the Commander: March of the Machine card is a reasonable budget replacement for the Red Commander staple. Sure, you can ignore the Planechase aspect of Path of the Pyromancer, but being able to discard and draw a fresh grip of cards while […]
A card that saw early buzz during The Lost Caverns of Ixalan previews is Dauntless Dismantler, which forces opponents’ artifact cards to enter play tapped. While it’s clear being able to tap down Sol Rings, Mana Crypts, and Arcane Signets as they enter play is decent, you can also tap down those Map, Clue, Blood, […]
Perhaps one of my favorite budget cards to run in Commander is Public Enemy, and another card from Streets of New Capenna that is underrated in Commander. Public Enemy is a fantastic card if you want to force the table to deal with a problematic threat, encouraging awkward attacks that can further your game plan. […]
An all-star in a Tasha, the Witch Queen Commander build of mine is Cunning Rhetoric from Commander 2021 and Commander: Outlaws of Thunder Junction, an enchantment that does make the opponent think twice when it comes to attacking you or a Planeswalker you control. If an opponent does attack you, the opponent reveals the top […]
Sometimes, Standard cards can be good in Commander! While The Celestus is fighting amongst other three mana value mana-generating artifacts in Commander such as Chromatic Lantern and Decanter of Endless Water, The Celestus does have card draw and discard baked in that’s worth considering. Sure, you’re not going to get the most value out of […]
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 […]
