Waking the Trolls – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Since the release of Sagas in Magic the Gathering with the Dominaria set, these “storytelling” enchantments have generally been playable. Players who love land destruction are particularly excited by Waking the Trolls which appears to have a potential win condition stapled to the final Chapter. But, is this Saga as good as some deck brewers […]
Serpentine Spike – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Serpentine Spike from Magic the Gathering’s Battle for Zendikar set is what is known as a “bulk rare” card in the trading card game. These are rare cards that many store buylists will buy from you from anywhere from a nickel to a dime. Of course, not all bulk rares are created equal. Some of […]
Blessed Alliance – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Blessed Alliance is a perfect example of a card with the Escalate mechanic which was new and unique to the Eldritch Moon set, the second of two sets in the Shadows Over Innistrad block. Right away, players saw this card as a strictly better version of Celestial Flare with its ability to force an opponent […]
Toski, Bearer of Secrets – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Magic the Gathering Commander players have been screaming for a true leader for Squirrel tribal for many years. Kaldheim finally brought Squirrel lovers a Christmas gift when Toski, Bearer of Secrets was revealed. Better yet, while Toski is an awesome Squirrel, his abilities are versatile enough to go into many Commander decks. Of course, most […]
Tarnished Citadel – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Tarnished Citadel, a nonbasic land card from Magic the Gathering’s Odyssey set, has been and continues to be a key component of Darien, King of Kjeldor EDH decks even in 2022. Not only does this land offer you the opportunity to tap it for colorless mana, but it also gives you the option to tap […]
Chameleon Colossus – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Chameleon Colossus has always been a fairly valuable Magic the Gathering card. It was originally printed in Morningtide and saw some play in Standard back then. With his versatility and power level, the Colossus has remained popular in tribal decks in casual “Kitchen Table” Magic, EDH, and even Modern. The price of Chameleon Colossus dropped […]
Adeliz, the Cinder Wind – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
“(Insert name of uncommon legend creature here) is good” could easily be a theme in the Dominaria set. But, Adeliz, the Cinder Wind is actually quite good. Even as an uncommon, Adeliz quickly found herself on buylists for bulk rare price or even slightly higher. She also has had a positive demand curve. Adeliz, the […]
Cleaving Reaper – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Before the printing of the Kaldheim set, Magic the Gathering hadn’t printed an Angel creature which was mono-Black. One of these Black Angel creatures is the Cleaving Reaper. Like another Angel being released in the set, Valkyrie Harbinger, the Reaper is only available in Theme, Set, and Collector boosters. The Reaper is an Angel Berserker […]
Nissa, Vital Force – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Nissa, Vital Force is one of two Nissa planeswalkers in Kaladesh. This 5-mana planeswalker is included in the set itself, whereas the other Nissa, Nature’s Artisan, is included in the Planeswalker decks for this set. How good is Nissa, Vital Force when compared to past Nissa planeswalkers? From the looks of it, pretty darn good. […]
Eater of Hope – A Magic the Gathering Card Review
Eater of Hope was one of the pre-release promotional cards for Magic the Gathering’s Born of the Gods sets. At the time, these sorts of cards were often interesting, if pricey to cast, creatures that could be useful in draft or sealed deck. There were five promos, one in each color. Eater of Hope was […]
