A Clockwork Orrery is a very popular card, as evidenced by its appearance in 14,588 decks on EDHREC. Is that number too high or too low? Welcome to Superior Numbers, where I try to do some numerical analysis on the popularity of a card using more math and less snark than in my usual column. […]

An Orchard Most Exotic is a really good card, as evidenced by having a home in 31,793 decks on EDHREC, and that number isn't nearly high enough. Welcome to Superior Numbers, a column that you may never see again but that exists at least this one time because I decided to try and figure out […]

A lot has happened in the interim, including a pretty stellar run of sets filled with […]

Welcome to the EDHREC set review for the cards in the color blue out of Battlebond, a set that asks the question "What if you made a set with all the good parts of Conspiracy and without all the bad parts of Conspiracy?" This is apparently the answer. We've got interesting cards with mechanics that […]

Currently, there are 24,011 decks in the EDHREC database running and not a single one of them should have it as part of the 99. Welcome back to In the Margins, a periodic column where I say that 24,000+ decks are doing it wrong, because if there's one thing I've learned about people on the Internet […]
