Decades-old MTG card spikes 360% thanks to Final Fantasy’s Chocobo fans

8 hours ago | wargamer.com | Matt Bassil

The Magic: The Gathering card Keeper of the Nine Gales has soared in value on the secondary market, going from just $2 on May 20 to $9.69 on June 9 according to MTG Goldfish. That's a pretty swift ascension of 360%. This card hails from a very old MTG set: 2003's Legions. Other than a stint on the List, Keeper of the Nine Gales has never had a reprint since, so it makes perfect sense that it was susceptible to a spike. This creature is designed to be played in a bird tribal deck.
You can cast spells twice in one turn in DnD, but there’s a catch

1 day ago | wargamer.com | Gab Hernandez

It's no secret that spellcasters are some of the most powerful figures in DnD. Shaping reality to one's whim does tend to give people a bit of a god complex. However, even the mightiest level 20 casters are limited by their action economy. After all, it would be broken if casters could cast more than one spell in a single turn, right? RIGHT? As it turns out, there seems to be a way after all – and one that still works after Dungeons and Dragons reworked all its core rules in 2024.
Get 90% off a suite of 11 DnD DM books packed with NPCs, puzzles, and villains

The role of the humble (or let's face it, all-powerful) Dungeon Master is to craft DnD adventures that will make any party eager for more. However, with so many moving parts in a campaign, busy DMs and GMs may find it difficult to give their adventures more flavor.
MTG Final Fantasy cut Battles and a villainous monologue mechanic

3 days ago | wargamer.com | Matt Bassil

The upcoming Final Fantasy Magic set has been in the works for many years, so it makes sense that its final design looks a lot different to its first. According to a recent article posted by Wizards of the Coast, there were loads of interesting mechanics planned for Final Fantasy that were dropped along the way – including a card type that Magic fans have been waiting to see return for ages. That card type is, of course, battles.
The new Gundam wargame’s miniatures are lightyears ahead of Warhammer 40k

3 days ago | wargamer.com | Timothy Linward

Warhammer 40k has long been at the forefront of model kit design for the miniature game market, with kits that combine a fun building experience, loads of options, and a final product that both looks great and plays well on the tabletop. But the game's dominance is about to be shaken by Bandai's upcoming Gundam Assemble wargame – team Wargamer has built some test models, and they're simply superb.

If you want to secure some packs of the next Pokémon TCG release ahead of schedule then you'd better act fast. There's a preorder deal going at Target right now, but we've no way of knowing how long it'll be in stock for. While most products for the newest Pokémon set after Destined Rivals are selling out the moment they go live, this Poster Collection box for White Flare and Black Bolt has stuck around for a couple of hours already.
I played Matt Leacock's new Lord of the Rings version of Pandemic, and it's somehow better than the original board game

4 days ago | wargamer.com | Alex Evans

Of the few new board games I had time to sit and play at UK Games Expo 2025, Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship stands out as my most memorable experience. That's partly because it's a surprisingly story powered, well executed transition of the Pandemic system into Middle-earth that'll give Tolkien fans extremely good eatin' – and partly because I got to play it with Pandemic creator himself, Matt Leacock.
MTG card that can shoot down the fastest deck in Standard spikes 560%

4 days ago | wargamer.com | Matt Bassil

The MTG card High Noon has soared in price lately. It really started to pick up at the end of April, a few weeks after Tarkir Dragonstorm. Back then it cost just $0.60, according to MTG Goldfish, but now it's up to $4 and still apparently rising. Released in the Magic: The Gathering set Outlaws of Thunder Junction last year, High Noon is a 'Rule of Law' type enchantment that stops players casting more than one spell each turn.
First look at sick new minis for Konflikt ’47, a bizarro-WW2 Warhammer 40k rival

4 days ago | wargamer.com | Timothy Linward

Historical model maker Warlord Games has revealed a spread of new plastic miniatures for its Weird War Two wargame Konflikt '47, which will go on sale alongside the game's second edition this September. With former Warhammer 40k maestro Andy Chambers leading the rules design team, and now plastic kits for its cool sci-fi designs, 2025 is shaping up to be a very good year indeed for K47.
This aggro Pokémon Pocket deck with no ex cards is destroying the meta

4 days ago | wargamer.com | Matt Bassil

For the entirety of Pokémon Pocket's history, the game has been defined by its Pokémon ex cards. Sure, there have been some non-ex decks that perform pretty well, like the Lucario fighting type list from a few seasons back, but usually they're a tier below the decks led by the top ex cards, and people like me only play them to be different (or because we haven't found the right exs yet). There's a good reason for that.
