The 20 Best Grixis Combos in Magic Ranked

3 days ago | draftsim.com | A.L. Walser

Nekusar, the Mindrazer | Illustration by Mark WintersCombos are the most efficient way to end a game of Commander. You might not like that fact, but it’s true; killing three players at 40 life is a hefty ask for a board full of creatures. Simply tossing a few cards together to get infinite whatever and eliminate three players is the cleanest way to go about it. And Grixis () has plenty of combos.
Edge of Eternities Leaks Showcase New Artifact Token and "Warped" Mechanic

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.
Unlikely Pair Inspires New 4-Color Standard-Legal Combos

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.
All 15 Instant and Sorcery Tutors in Magic Ranked

Solve the Equation | Illustration by Lie SetiawanMagic would be an awfully easy game if you always had the card you need the turn you need it, don’t you think? I’m firmly within the school of thought that Magic’s variance is a boon, not a curse, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate some consistency now and again. That’s where tutors come in. If you can run it in your deck, you can probably tutor for it.
The 23 Best Zombie Lords in Magic Ranked

4 days ago | draftsim.com | A.L. Walser

Eternal Skylord | Illustration by Johan GrenierMagic has a great many iconic fantasy creatures appearing throughout its 30+ year history, but few are as recognizable as the zombies. A creature type largely localized to black, these are some of the most classic monsters in any media. Like any well-established creature type, zombies have plenty of support pieces and lords.
Red Crushes Most Constructed Formats, Is It the Best Color in Magic?

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.
5 Must-Know Facts About the Edge of Eternities Prerelease

5 days ago | draftsim.com | A.L. Walser

Edge of Eternities card art | Illustration by Andreas ZafiratosEdge of Eternities (EOE) looks like a thrilling set, if only because it’s so far from what Magic has explored in the past. There’s always been some science-fiction elements in Magic; look at The Brothers’ War, effectively fought by mechs Urza and Mishra built, or the much more recent Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty that fully embraced technology within the fantasy. As such, the EOE prerelease looks like an excellent event to hit up.
Secrets of Strixhaven Spoilers and Set Information

Archway Commons | Illustration by Piotr DuraAny set that returns to a plane we’ve visited previously gives us a chance to revisit old friends and explore them in new contexts. I personally enjoy revisiting planes; they have so much history and let us explore characters and the setting in a way we simply can’t when coming to a plane for the first time.
The Saga Continues: Edge of Eternities Teases the Return of Sagas (Again)

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.
