MTG Rocks

While Reality Fracture is chock full of strong cards, some powerhouses have separated themselves from the rest of the pack. Ajani, Unrelenting, for instance, has emerged as one of the most broken Limited bombs in recent memory. Despite its hefty casting cost, the Planeswalker is even finding success in Standard, giving rise to a new Boros Superfriends brew. During the early turns of the game, this Boros shell’s main goal is to keep the board clear.

While Spellslinger is one of the most powerful, and popular, archetypes in Commander, it does often suffer from being quite samey. Between cantrips, cost reducers, and payoffs, most lists are built, and played, the same way. There are some MTG Commanders that totally change up how the archetype is played, however, such as Hinata, Dawn-Crowned. For four mana, Hinata gives you one of the most unique lines of text Magic has ever seen.

Thanks to Reality Fracture’s focus on Planeswalkers, Superfriends strategies are seeing a major upgrade across Commander. Whether its new support for the archetype, or new Commanders to rally behind, Superfriends are now more popular than ever. While this has caused a fair few Superfriends cards to spike in recent days, most of these prices adjustments have come and gone, making this late price spike rather strange.

Earlier this week, Wizards of the Coast announced some radical changes to Magic’s established booster pack system. In addition to introducing God Packs, ultra-rare packs consisting entirely of rares and mythics, the distribution of cards within regular packs has been tweaked as well. While it seems like a big win on the surface, this God Pack update has actually proven rather unpopular so far, sparking a significant controversy in the MTG community.

Because the game’s balance wasn’t properly figured out, all of Magic: The Gathering’s most broken cards were printed in the early days. From free mana to two-mana extra turns, the cards printed today would never be able to compete with problematic cards from MTG’s past. Because of this, many cards from Magic’s earliest set end up being banned everywhere, their terrors forgotten.

Articles / Features / News Magic isn’t a cheap hobby, so finding a good deal can make a huge difference. With Amazon Prime Big Deal Days bringing discounts across countless MTG products, now’s a great time to pick up cards, decks, boosters, and more without breaking the bank. The sales won’t last forever, though, with the event running from October 6-7. So, to save you hours of scrolling through discounts, here’s a quick roundup of the best MTG deals worth checking out.

While not quite as legend-focused as some recent Universes Beyond sets, Reality Fracture still features plenty of powerful Commander options. The most popular of the bunch, Jace, Multiverse Architect, has even begun making a splash in the competitive Duel Commander environment. This Planeswalker’s loyalty abilities both offer tons of utility, making it the ultimate build-around.

While Magic is easily one of the best and most popular games in the world, it’s hardly perfect. Despite the incredible gameplay and artwork on offer, Magic is absurdly expensive. With the average deck costing hundreds of dollars, and constant price hikes caused by the Universes Beyond initiative, Magic is now more expensive than ever. With this in mind, stretching your dollars as far as possible is important, making any kind of sale a big deal for MTG players.

In recent years, the promo selection for competitive Magic events has been a bit of a sore spot among players. While we do get some excellent picks from time to time, many are underwhelming duds, or impossible to get for many players due to region exclusivity. Today, Wizards has revealed the MTG Play Promo lineup for the 2026-2027 season, and it feels like a mixed bag. While there are some bangers in here, for the most part it’s as unexciting as ever.
