Sweetest Devotion Hello and welcome to the very first edition of Mechanically Minded, the column where we build decks around some of the coolest keyword mechanics in Magic's history. For the inaugural edition of this column, let's explore Banding! Kidding, kidding. For the actual first mechanic, we'll cover Devotion. You'll remember this mechanic most recently from Theros, though […]

Integrity and Intervention “Hey, you there, with the hooded cloak. What do you think you’re doing? No, I did see it. The flash of light reflected by the lemmet of your blade: don’t you hide it from me! Put your hands where I can see them. What’s this? A Dimir sigil? You’ve wandered far from […]

Greetings Readers! It's your friendly neighborhood jank crafter again! Sorry for not having an article for you last time, but I didn't have internet while I was out of the country.

Hello and welcome back to a special edition of Ultra Budget Brews, the column that celebrates Christmas super early because they want to get a head start on everyone else's Christmas-themed articles.

She's a kor who is good at offensive fighting, enjoys high altitude travel with grappling cables, and gets more powerful with the more gadgets she has. Basically, she's the Zendikar version of Batman, except she's not a man and presumably doesn't have deep psychological parental issues that result in an animal-themed alter-ego. [card]Akiri, Line-Slinger[/card] has first strike and vigilance and gets […]

This article is Round 12 of the Underdog’s Corner, a series spotlighting various lesser-used commanders and their place in the format.

And welcome to the dozenth edition […]

Welcome to the 5th edition of Ultra Budget Brews, the series that builds entire EDH decks where nothing costs more than $1! (I totally should have named this series Dollar General.
