Dust Stalker – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Battle for Zendikar is a set chock full of aggressive creatures, most of them Eldrazi. While quite a few have gone on to competitive success, one that hasn’t quite found his place is a 5/3 for 4 mana, Dust Stalker. On the surface, he looks like a powerful creature. He does have the drawback of […]
Is Venusaur Good Competitively in Pokemon?
As the final evolution of Pokemon’s Bulbasaur, one of the three first ever starter monsters from Red and Blue, Venusaur has enjoyed a long competitive history. Despite having many different weaknesses in earlier generations of the video game franchise, Venusaur has gained additional resistances as types have been introduced into Pokemon. Also, while its move […]
Necroduality – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Zombies have long been a popular tribe in Magic the Gathering, and for quite some time, Blue & Black Zombies have made noise in Commander. In the original Innistrad days, mono-Black Zombies were a dominant force in competitive play. Now, Blue and Black Zombies may once again gain a competitive edge in not just Standard, […]
Liliana, Dreadhorde General – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
When some Magic the Gathering players first saw Liliana, Dreadhorde General, they saw a 6-mana planeswalker that may not have much of an impact in Standard. However, this Liliana planeswalker card should not be overlooked. Not only does she have three loyalty abilities, but a static ability, as well. Six-mana planeswalkers have made an impact […]
Kyodai, Soul of Kamigawa – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Kyodai, Soul of Kamigawa is a White Dragon Spirit creature from Magic the Gathering’s Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty set. While its Red counterpart, Atsushi the Blazing Sky, is certainly flashier, Kyodai has its own interesting attributes. It has both Flash and Flying and costs four mana to cast, with three of its value requiring just generic […]
Runeforge Champion – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Runeforge Champion is a Dwarf Warrior creature card from Magic the Gathering’s Kaldheim set. As a creature whose utility depends greatly on a specific type of card, in this case Runes, I decided to pass judgment on Runeforge Champion until we knew what Runes actually were. With the reveal of Rune of Ascension, we discovered […]
Prime Material Dragon – An Old School YuGiOh Card Review
Prime Material Dragon is one of many powerful YuGiOh cards from the Phantom Darkness set. Of course, that set is best known for literally destroying competitive play for several months thanks to the printing of Dark Armed Dragon. One card that has become a bit forgotten though, is Prime Material Dragon, which thanks to its […]
Kaiser Glider: Old School YuGiOh Cards
Kaiser Glider is one of, if not the first ever YuGiOh cards that I bought online at eBay. It was actually a copy of the ultra rare reprint in Dark Revelations 1 that I bought, not the original Dark Crisis ultra rare printing. It’s been reprinted multiple times since, once at rare, and several times […]
Is the Midnight Gond Combo in Magic the Gathering Still Good in 2022?
I’ll never forget when I first learned about the Midnight Guard and Presence of Gond combo in Magic the Gathering. It was actually while I was picking through the bulk boxes at my local game store. While I was hoarding Utopia Sprawl and other useful common and uncommon cards, one guy was hoarding specifically Midnight […]
Magical Dimension: Underrated YuGiOh Cards
For Christmas 2006, I received the Yu-GI-Oh Structure Deck: Spellcaster’s Judgment. It’s one of my favorite structure decks of all time, but it’s not because I received it for a gift. Besides a few really good cards like Breaker the Magical Warrior and Skilled Dark Magician, the deck included one of the best spell cards […]
