Okay, so our favorite planeswalker *may* have turned evil, and we *may* have lost as many matches as Ajani has lost marbles, but the night is still young. We still have a chance to pull out some victories. Maybe we'll have some better matchups. https://youtu.be/FUFvjI89pFo Streamed at...

It's been a while since we've found ourselves back in the Arena, because I've had such mixed feelings about it. When talking about how issues with the client with friends of mine, one of them mentioned Historic Brawl as a possible solution. For those familiar with Commander, Historic Brawl is...

We've played with both mono-Red and mono-Black, and they're both excellent piles of cards, but they aren't true to the kind of Magic I enjoy playing. As someone who pretends to be an anthropomorphic wolf mind mage on the internet, I've always been a blue wizard at heart. Fortunately for me,...

Some decks are brought together through powerful synergies that make it tough for opponents to stop them. They'll play powerful cards, but their true strength is the way each effect plays off of the others. And then, there are decks that slam a bunch of powerful cards together into a strong mana...

After we finished with our Limited pool, I still had a solid half-hour to game a few games in Arena, so I brought out the deck I've been using to grind my dailies, courtesy of Saffron Olive from MTG Goldfish. He was able to craft a reasonably strong mono-red burn deck that used only common and...

I must confess that I never thought I would return to MTG: Arena ever again. Wizards of the Coast and the Arena team never fixed the problems that I had with the economy and impossibly slow rate at which cards are acquired for anything other than a Limited player. Problems that have been...

It's that time of year again. The Ravnica sets, including War of the Spark, and Core Set 2020 are out, and Zendikar Rising is now in. That's right: Standard Rotation has occurred. And though many powerful spells have left, still many more remain.Having said that, it's also time to beginning...

The best side-effect of the recent bans that we talked about the last time we entered the Arena was that it forced experimentation and cracked open a standard that had remained pitifully stagnant despite the influx of new cards from Core Set 2021.As a result, we're seeing decks that just didn't get...

It's been a while since we've engaged with the Standard meta-game here in MTG Arena. To be honest, I'd been growing bored and disinterested since it seemed like nothing even the release of Core Set 2021 did anything to shake up or otherwise change the kind of decks being played. It was still mostly...

Jumpstart is one of the innovative and interesting formats I've seen the designers at Wizards of the Coast come up with. This weird hybrid format, combining the focus of pre-constructed decks with the variety that comes from a Limited format like Draft or Sealed.Though boxes of it are hard to come...
