    MTG Final Fantasy cards aren’t just delivering a heaped helping of JRPG nostalgia, they also happen to include some really solid additions to your deck. If you’re one of the lucky ones that have managed to get their hands on MTG Final Fantasy stock, you might be wondering which cards to keep an eye out for while cracking the packs, or which singles you should add to your collection directly.

    Star Wars Day may be in the rear-view mirror, but a few Lego Star Wars bargains are still clinging on for dear life. Actually, a few kits have hit their cheapest ever prices this week. The Force is with us, I suppose. So, what's cracking? Well, the 2024 Lego R2-D2 is currently $79.95 at Amazon instead of $100, while the display Millennium Falcon (which has earned a spot on our list of the best Lego sets) is $67.98 at Amazon instead of the usual $85.

    There's something moreish about Jaipur. More specifically, one match is neverenough. Even if I just had my arse handed to me, I'm always keen to reset and go again when the final totals are tallied; Jaipur is that kind of game. I'd go so far as to say it's lightning in a bottle, actually. It has enough depth to keep you invested over the course of countless sessions, but is easy-going enough not to take up much brain-space. I hadn't expected to fall so hard for it.

    It seems as if the legends were true, and Lego One Piece sets will soon be a reality - but I think we all underestimated how many there would be from the jump. One Piece fans, you better start saving. Following months of leaks after the collaboration was announced in January, we've finally gotten our first official look at the range... and I don't know about you, but it goes way beyond what I'd expected.

    All eyes may be on the launch of a certain Nintendo console, but that doesn't mean the world has come to a stop. You can currently save a mess of cash on Pokemon cards, merch, plushies, and more in Amazon's Pokemon Week sale. To my surprise, these discounts are pretty good. I'd been anticipating the usual offenders (a few pounds off boosters here, a discount on third-party bootleg Pokemon card binders there), but the offers genuinely deserve a look.

After going hands on with Kill Team: Typhon that Games Workshop sent us early, I'm all about the player vs player vs non-player operative 'Adversary' mode. More of this, please https://t.co/cgpzLYcTnJ
