Calamity Bearer – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
In Magic the Gathering’s Kaldheim set, Giant Tribal decks received a powerful new ally in Calamity Bearer. This four-mana Giant Berserker creature doubles the damage which any Giant source you control deals to a permanent or player. While it doesn’t double the damage on the Adventure half of the most popular Giant out there in […]
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 […]
Sarulf, Realm Eater – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
When some Magic the Gathering veteran players first read Sarulf, Realm Eater, they saw an effect very similar to Ratchet Bomb, except with +1/+1 counters. Ratchet Bomb was a powerful card in Magic the Gathering in multiple competitive formats, and still sees some play in Modern today. It allows you to tap it to charge […]
Lathril, Blade of the Elves – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Magic the Gathering players gained plenty of new Elves cards to play with in the Kaldheim set. But, none may be as truly impactful as Lathril, Blade of the Elves, at least in EDH. As the lead card in one of the two Commander decks released with Kaldheim, the four mana Legendary creature instantly appeared […]
Invasion of the Giants – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
For all the fun that playing Giant Tribal decks in Magic the Gathering can be, they often do very little for the first few turns of a game. That’s because the best stuff they have to do often doesn’t start until turn four or so. The Saga Enchantment from Kaldheim called Invasion of the Giants […]
Graven Lore – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Graven Lore is a Snow instant spell card from Magic the Gathering’s Kaldheim set. It’s similar to a few draw cards that we’ve seen in the past that have popped up in competitive play. This card is reminiscent of Precognitive Perception from Ravnica Allegiance. That card drew you three cards for five mana, but allowed […]
Kardur, Doomscourge – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Magic the Gathering has had many Legendary Creatures over the years printed at uncommon, dating all the way back to Legends, but not having any appear between then and Champions of Kamigawa. Betrayers of Kamigawa and Saviors of Kamigawa continued the trend of uncommon legendary cards. Then, we saw no more until Dominaria and yet […]
Dragonkin Berserker – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Dragonkin Berserker is a two-mana Human Berserker creature card from Magic the Gathering’s Kaldheim set. At first glance, Dragonkin Berserker reminds long-time Magic players of a couple other creatures who create Dragon creature tokens, namely Dragon Whisperer and Dragonmaster Outcast. Neither of those creatures panned out the way many players expected them to, although the […]
Showdown of the Skalds – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
One of the first cards spoiled for the Kaldheim set in Magic the Gathering was the powerful Saga Enchantment, Showdown of the Skalds. Sagas have proven their power in Standard competitive play time and again, beginning with the advent of Saga Enchantments in the Dominaria set. Several Sagas from the Theros: Beyond Death set have […]
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 […]
