Spawn of Thraxes – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Spawn of Thraxes is a Dragon creature card in Magic the Gathering that can do a ton of damage in a Mono-Red deck. Of course, for Standard play, a seven mana casting cost was far too much for Red Deck Wins to muster. Still it wasn’t hard to see the Spawn seeing Commander play. Indeed, […]

Each Day is an Experiment
Have you ever felt like your life is getting a bit too repetitive? I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the “rat race” and pondering that oft-repeated quote, “Even if you win the rat race, you’re still a rat.” The definition of the rat race, according to Wikipedia, is thus: “A rat race is an […]

Djinn of Infinite Deceits – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
If there was any card that said “abuse me,” it would be this Commander deck exclusive Djinn of Infinite Deceits from the Evasive Maneuvers deck. It is a 2/7 that costs 4UU to cast, and it’s a flyer that can tap to exchange control of two target non-Legendary creatures. What’s especially cool about this is […]
