Last updated on June 26, 2025Edge of Eternities Card Art | Illustration by Borja PindadoSo if there's a leak in a spacecraft, does it just kind of… sit there? You can't sink in space, right? Right? WotC did a phenomenal job curbing leaks for Final Fantasy, but it seems someone put Edge of Eternities into hyperdrive and got their hands on a box of the set, which isn't supposed to release until August 1.

Last updated on June 26, 2025Vivi Ornitier | Illustration by Toshiyuki ItahanaThe Vivi discourse will continue until morale improves. Another day, another combination of cards that makes you wonder how Vivi Ornitier got through testing. The good news is that the second part of today's combo isn't quite streamlined enough to make this some overnight tournament-buster, though it might make for a fun and quirky trial run on the Arena ladder.

Last updated on June 25, 2025Cori-Steel Cutter | Illustration by Xabi GazteluaRed's kind of on a tear in Magic right now, isn't it? Commander's its own thing as far as color rankings go, but it's pretty evident that red decks stay winning across many of Magic's major 60-card Constructed formats, from hyper-powerful Modern to common-driven Pauper. Maybe it's time to just legalize Blue Elemental Blast in every format.

Last updated on June 24, 2025Unnamed Edge of Eternities card art | Illustration by Daniel LjunggrenThree words for ya: Vertical. Card. Frames. Any time you see portrait-style art in MTG, it usually means you're getting some sort of vertically-oriented card. That could be a planeswalker, a class enchantment, or as seems to be the case with Edge of Eternities, another helping of sagas. The Edge of Eternities story kicked off last week after players' first major look at the upcoming Standard set.

Last updated on June 23, 2025Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre | Illustration by Aleksi BriclotEldrazi? In my space odyssey set? Well, maybe. There's actually quite a bit known about Edge of Eternities already, thanks to some early previews and WotC's official Planeswalker's Guide to EOE, which covers all the major factions, settings, and ideologies of Magic's next big Standard set.

Last updated on June 20, 2025source: WotC on XAs the sun sets on Final Fantasy a week after it's release, players start to divert their gaze to the last real Magic: The Gathering set of 2025: Edge of Eternities. A preview panel was held early afternoon at MagicCon Las Vegas, which revealed some new facts about the upcoming “space odyssey” set. One of those new tidbits was the inclusion of the “Stellar Sights” bonus sheet, which focuses entirely on lands.

Last updated on June 20, 2025Deflecting Swat | Illustration by Greg StaplesGame Changers were announced in February of 2025 as part of the broader Commander Brackets system that was being implemented into EDH directly by Wizards of the Coast. The system aims to give players common ground on which they can evaluate the power level of their decks, instead of arbitrarily calling everything a 7 and proceeding to have the most unenjoyable games of Magic they've ever played.

Last updated on June 19, 2025Curse of Opulence | Illustration by Kieran YannerFinal Fantasy Collector booster boxes are out of control. Sitting at a market price of $999.71 on TCGplayer as of Wednesday night, these boxes have breached any semblance of a reasonably-priced Magic product. What's even crazier is that they're still trending up, and likely to break the 1k mark overnight.

Last updated on June 18, 2025Jumbo Cactuar | Illustration by Jason KiantoroStep #1 to winning with Jumbo Cactuar on Magic Arena: Attack with Jumbo Cactuar. Step #2: Give Jumbo Cactuar trample (Blitzball Shot for simplicity, Gladiolus Amicitia‘s landfall trigger if you're feeling spicy). Step #3: Wait for opponent to double-block, fail to manually assign 10,000+ damage one point at a time, rope until you lose, and explode. Wait… what?

Last updated on June 17, 2025Smothering Tithe | Illustration by Daisuke TatsumaArena Directs have their issues. Like, glaring issues. People not receiving the rewards they've won… that sort of thing. And yet, the MTG Arena team keeps pushing more Arena Direct events on the client, around two events per new set cycle. The first Final Fantasy Arena Direct is coming this weekend (June 20-22), and it's not structured all that differently from any other Arena Direct event.
