Archfiend of Depravity is an interesting card from Fate Reforged. Besides being a decent sideboard card in Standard, the Demon has become a favorite of casual and Commander players.

Saheeli Rai and Felidar Guardian from Aether Revolt were the Splinter Twin & Deceiver Exarch combo all over again in Standard. Wizards nipped it in the bud with a banned and restricted list announcement. But how did it happen in the first place?

Where would I look if i wanted to find out more about post-apocalypse, pre-time spiral Dominaria?

Odyssey and Onslaught (six novels total) are pretty much it. We know almost nothing about the plane outside of Otaria during that period, outside of what we learn in Time Spiral. That and Liliana’s Origin: The Fourth Pact are the only things we know that happen in that period, as it’s when the story moved offworld (for instance, Mirrodin and Ravnica happen in that timeframe). Neither tells you very much about the plane as a whole. There are some short stories that take place in that era, but mostly they’re side stories to Odyssey.

Hapatra EDH created by the followers

Hey there, folks. Happy New Year’s Eve! It’s been a few months, but we finally finished our first deck together. Our commander is Hapatra and this has manifested into a -1/-1 counter control deck with an infect/token subtheme.

Thank you to all who participated. This has been a great deal of fun.

We’re not going to restrict ourselves to only putting counters on our opponents’ creatures. We can benefit just as much from getting counters on our own creatures too. Hapatra doesn’t care where the counters go, as long as something gets them.

Now we don’t want to risk killing our own creatures with our counters. So we have a few ways to remove them whether it be from the creatures own ability or from another ability.

A good source of creatures that deal in -1/-1 counters are ones with Infect and Wither. Sadly, there are only 2 Wither creatures that advance our game plan at all. Luckily, they’re really good ones.

We have a lot of ETBs to get counters onto creatures, so Panharmonicon will help us with that and Hapatra. For instance, Skinrender will trigger twice, which will trigger Hapatra twice with Panharmonicon giving us two more Hapatra triggers.

With all these -1/-1 and poison counters in the game, we definitely want to hand out “free” counters of the same types. We also don’t want to rely solely on Hapatra for tokens to protect us, so we have a few other way to generate tokens off of -1/-1 or poison counters.

Our Ramp, Removal, and Draw packages are mostly based on giving things -1/-1 counters and things dying, which there should be a lot of.

Lastly, we have an alternate wincon in Revel in Riches. We can scare off that board wipe, help ramp us, and aim to win by killing off opponents’ creatures.

2017 MTG Retrospective - The Memening

Today we’re going to take a look back on the most popular memes from each of the five major Magic: The Gathering releases in 2017.

w00t - MTG Realm got a nod from Wizards of the Coast with a Magic: the Gathering meme.

It is a question that anyone who has ever owned any sizable collection of Magic the Gathering cards has asked: what are the values of my Magic cards?

Q: Is it a good idea to run Consecrated Sphinx in 5 color EDH decks?

A: Generally, Consecrated Sphinx is just a really good creature in any EDH deck that runs Blue. Many decks that play it are three-color, but some four-color decks, Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis and Yidris, Maelstrom Wanderer in particular, like to play the Sphinx. While it’s not a staple in any 5 color decks, if you’re looking to build a “good stuff” EDH deck with a Commander like Child of Alara, then it’s worth considering the Sphinx, yes.

Anthousa, Setessan Hero had a chance to have a decent Heroic Landfall theme built around her in Commander. Now the cards exist for that deck to actually work well.

Volatile Chimera is one of the "draft matters" cards from Conspiracy: Take the Crown. While it may be a bulk rare worth little over a dime on the secondary market, the Chimera is a nearly $4 foil!

In Fate Reforged, there is a card called Shamanic Revelation which costs only one more colorless mana to cast than Harmonize did, but has far more potential for some serious card draw. It even has the potential to offer life gain.

Magic Origins and the five flip walkers have proven to be quite a success. So just how good are the 5 legendary planeswalkers in Commander?

Deflecting Palm is an instant from Khans of Tarkir with an effect in the vein of Reverse Damage and Divine Deflection. Is it a good choice for Modern sideboards?

As a Magic: the Gathering player who loves instant win conditions built into cards, it shouldn’t be surprising that I’m a big fan of Approach of the Second Sun.
