Battle Fader – A YuGiOh Card Review
Battle Fader is a YuGiOh monster that’s been around since the days of the Absolute Powerforce set. It was a monster that was still being played a great deal when I was still playing the game competitively. Since then, Battle Fader has been reprinted a great many times, including in ultra rare and secret rare! […]
Myth Realized – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Myth Realized from Magic the Gathering’s Dragons of Tarkir set is far more than just an Enchantment version of the creature Chimeric Mass. Whereas the Mass was an artifact that needed to have lots of mana invested in it for charge counters, Myth Realized gains lore counters whenever you cast a non-creature spell. Not only […]
Scourge of Skola Vale – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
The Hydra tribe in Magic the Gathering definitely has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. Scourge of Skola Vale from Born of the Gods is definitely an interesting one. It costs 2G (2 colorless, one Green) to cast and it’s a Trampler that enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it. It […]
Silence the Believers – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
The Strive mechanic from Magic the Gathering’s Journey Into Nyx set created some very interesting cards. Silence the Believers is an interesting piece of removal for Black. It’s essentially an instant-speed version of Gild, a formerly playable card which exiles a target creature for four mana. However, while it doesn’t give you the Gold “trophy” […]
Surveyor’s Scope – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Magic the Gathering’s preconstructed Commander 2013 decks introduced several cards designed to only be playable in a multi-player Commander setting. One of these cards is Surveyor’s Scope, a two-mana artifact. The scope can tap as soon as it’s played to use its ability, which is to exile it and search your library for up to […]
Rampage of the Valkyries – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Angels have long been a popular tribe in Magic the Gathering, and with the release of early spoilers for the Kaldheim set, plenty of new Angels and support for Angels was revealed. One of these Angel support cards is an Enchantment called Rampage of the Valkyries. It costs 5 mana (3 colorless, 1 White, and […]
Zada, Hedron Grinder – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Zada, Hedron Grinder is perhaps the most unique Ally being printed in Battle for Zendikar. Not only is this Legendary Goblin one that couldn’t care less about other Ally creatures being in play, but Zada benefits all of your creatures in a really neat way. While we’ve seen an effect a bit like Zada’s before […]
Hell’s Caretaker – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Hell’s Caretaker has been a pretty useful creature in Magic: the Gathering over the years. Way back during the Ice Age set, there was a useful combo with Ice Age’s Enduring Renewal and Antiquities Ornithopter. Enduring Renewal was an easy way to put creatures in the graveyard. Ornithopter is free to cast. So, with the […]
Godhead of Awe – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Godhead of Awe is an awe-some card (pun intended) from Magic the Gathering’s Shadowmoor set. She was one of the first Magic cards I ever played with, and I actually opened her in the same draft as my first-ever rare pull, Augury Adept. The Godhead’s ability to make all other creatures into 1/1’s is extremely valuable, allowing […]
Impact Resonance – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Impact Resonance is a Magic the Gathering card exclusive to the Commander 2014: Built from Scratch deck that was released in November of 2014. That deck is full of some other very powerful cards such as Daretti, Scrap Savant, Dualcaster Mage, and others. So, it’s easy to overlook a card like this that could potentially […]
