In our second-to-last Premodern primer (colorless Artifacts and Lands will be the last one!), we take a look at the multicolored “gold” cards that are legal in Premodern!

Players such as myself are… Continue Reading “[Premodern] Staples: Black (and a brief history of Premodern)”
Evaluating the Competitive Viability of Creatures
Unless you have been living under a rock, you have either heard about or directly experienced the cost-efficiency of The Scarab God. I mean, this guy does everything. At just five mana, this beatstick provides indirect damage, deck manipulation, a durable 5/5 body, and an… Continue Reading “Evaluating the Competitive Viability of Creatures”
