Simic Ascendancy by Izzy (@izzymedrano) Welcome to the Combine Hey readers! I am super stoked to be writing the Simic review for Ravnica Allegiance! If I had to pick a single guild that best represents me as a person, it's most deifnitely the Simic Combine, full of aquatic organisms, a desire to explore and experiment, […]

Optimizing a Pile Last time on Making the Cut, we looked at an initial dump of cards for a [card]Lazav, the Multifarious[/card] +1/+1 counter deck featuring as many cheap creatures as possible, and then did an initial cut based on the archetypes we knew the deck was going to need in the final version.

One of the biggest is [card]Doubling Season[/card], a card whose price is exorbitantly high and whose demand comes almost exclusively from Commander players. While it's true that […]

Some Assembly Required Magic: the Gathering is filled to the brim with abilities. We have triggered abilities, as seen on cards like [card]Eternal Witness[/card] and [card]Phyrexian Arena[/card]. There are mana abilities, famously found on lands, artifacts, and mana dorks such as [card]Gilded Lotus[/card] and [card]Llanowar Elves[/card].
