Singing Tree – Magic the Gathering Card Review
Singing Tree from Magic the Gathering’s Arabian Night set may not be the most powerful card in the world. While a 0/3 Plant creature for 4 mana (three generic & one Green) seems underpowered, being able to reduce an attacking creature’s power to zero just by tapping certainly isn’t bad. While it’s hardly as good […]
Merchant Ship – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
In early Magic the Gathering, you can find many examples of cards that were simply just not very good. Merchant Ship from Arabian Nights was a card that was never reprinted because it’s on the Reserved List. But, it doesn’t really matter, because it’s not very good. Merchant Ship is a 0/2 creature that can’t […]
Blessing of Frost – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
With the Kaldheim set being based on Nordic mythology, it seemed like a foregone conclusion to many Magic the Gathering players that there would be Snow cards in the set. Blessing of Frost wasn’t only the first Snow card to be revealed in the set, it was also the first non-permanent Snow card Magic players […]
Elephant Graveyard – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Elephant Graveyard is one of the more interesting land cards ever printed in Magic the Gathering, appearing only in the Arabian Nights set. Not only can you tap it for a colorless mana, but you can also tap it to regenerate an Elephant or Mammoth. Regeneration allows you to tap a creature whenever it would […]
Auramancer – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Auramancer is a card that’s been part of the Magic the Gathering multiverse since way back in 2001 with the release of Odyssey. The card has enjoyed two different artworks over its nine paper printings. The most valuable version of the card is the Wizards Play Network (WPN) promo foil from 2011, which features the […]
Asylum Visitor – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
There’s a lot of things to like about Asylum Visitor from the Magic the Gathering set Shadows Over Innistrad. Not only is she a vampire, but she has the Madness ability. This means if you happen to discard her, you can pay 1B to cast her! Having a 3/1 creature for 2 mana is good […]
Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
The evil Phyrexians made a return to the Magic the Gathering scene in Kaldheim! Last time we saw the Phyrexians in a Standard-legal set, it was all the way back in New Phyrexia. Now, we get a juicy new Phyrexian creature, complete with a denoted creature type, something players have been asking for years. The […]
Halvar, God of Battle / Sword of the Realms – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
We’ve seen how powerful the modal Double-Faced land cards were in Magic the Gathering’s Zendikar Rising. Having a spell that you could also play as a land has changed the competitive landscape forever. Kaldheim offers a brand new take on the modal cards with a creature that can also be an enchantment. But, this first […]
Surtland Flinger – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Kaldheim may be one of the most tribal focused sets ever released for the Magic the Gathering card game. In particular, the Giants tribe gained a number of interesting cards, one of which is Surtland Flinger. Like its counterpart in Blue, Surtland Elementalist, the Flinger is available only in the Theme and Set boosters, not […]
Nissa, Nature’s Artisan – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Nissa, Nature’s Architect is an exclusive planeswalker from one of two Planeswalker Decks released with the Kaladesh set. These decks were the first two Planeswalker decks, which replaced the under-powered Intro Packs that used to come with the release of each new Standard-legal set. While this Nissa nor her Red counterpart Chandra, Pyrogenius are in […]
