MTG Arena Bans Announced - Oko, Once Upon a Time, Veil of Summer All Banned in Standard

Against blue and black, it's not only essentially a counterspell, it also continues to protect you for the rest of the turn, draws you a card, and only costs 1 mana.

It's just been ridiculously good at shoring up whatever …

Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Initial Reveal #2

I definitely agree with the searching, but they've actually been improving that recently - including things like 'Snip' allowing you to search for [card]SN1P-SN4P[/card], for example.

I'd be all for showing these cards when you search for "Inspire", even …

Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Initial Reveal #2

I mean, if I'd taken them I'd have talked about how much I agree with the decision, and how I think it's a good design choice, so... =P

They're not ditching Inspire, they're consciously choosing not to use it when …

The Descent of Dragons Announcement Trailer Features 3 More Cards!

I can understand believing you'd get 10 full Mana Crystals after playing it. That'd be broken, but I could understand why you would think that.

I cannot understand how you're getting 6 full Mana Crystals and 4 empty. You've

The Descent of Dragons Announcement Trailer Features 3 More Cards!

That's not how the interaction works.

[card]Mojomaster Zihi[/card] leaves you with 4 mana because it removes empty Mana Crystals first, which makes sense. You spend 6 of your 10 available mana, then have 4 left (and in total, 5 Mana …

Eric Dodds, Jason Chayes, and Dustin Browder Left Blizzard

Possibly just a reporter looking into what Blizzard has been up to, given their rather controversial nature in the news recently and Blizzcon right around the corner.

A big cancelled project is the sort of thing you'd look into …

Eric Dodds, Jason Chayes, and Dustin Browder Left Blizzard
Quote From Thonson

Maybe it just came out now that they left??? I didn't even notice the date, I just went straight to the section talking about who these guys are.

This is what happened. …

Cards From Other Games That Made It Into Hearthstone

Man, I helped with some ideas for this article and I didn't even stop and think for a second that of course there would be one with the exact same stat boost - I mean, how could there not?

We'll …

The Legends of Runeterra Starter Bundle - What Do You Get For $5?

We'll still absolutely be covering Hearthstone, but we've made no secret of the fact that we'd love to cover other games as well (as Flux posted about on the forums yesterday). We've had forums for Magic from the beginning, and …

Secret Warrior Nerf?
Quote From Kovachut

Well, dunno about you, but I'm glad that I won't have to deal with more than 2 Omega Devastators in a single game anymore.

I feel like I should clarify since …

Tombs of Terror Solo Content Giveaway

I mean, [card]Tortollan Pilgrim[/card] has clearly been my favourite part of the expansion. Cracking open a [card]Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron[/card] with them and watching the chaos is always amazing, but I do think accidentally killing myself with several draw cards …

To Craft, or not to Craft...

I played a lot of Quest Warrior in Standard in preparation for an article we put up on the site - it was not great. Decks with [card]Dr. Boom, Mad Genius[/card] were just objectively better.

Having said that, when …

Five Card Nerfs Coming Next Week Including Dr. Boom, Mad Genius & Barnes!

Very pleased with these changes - there are things I would've done differently, for sure, but they're at least hitting the right decks and not throwing a curveball card in there.

[card]Luna's Pocket Galaxy[/card] is one that I see …

Blizzard nerfed Mecha Jaraxxus?
Quote From Techwood

Well. Time has passed and it is clear that they have nerfed the animation as i mentioned. Heroes are not worth my money anymore. Case closed.

This is a really embarrassing take, …

Hack the System

A great question! And I'm not going to lie to you - if you want to be running the best Warrior deck right now, you should absolutely be running [card]Dr. Boom, Mad Genius[/card] in one of the various decks that …

So, there will be no card reveal today?

Toast said weeks back that he was turning down the reveal. The fact that Blizzard didn't amend their guide until after the reveal was supposed to happen is kind of ridiculous.

Uldum Paladin Card Reveal - Pharaoh's Blessing

Wish we got to name it Fluffy Palley Cat, but on the other hand, having the right translation so fast is probably much better.

Does standard's small card pool do more harm than good?

There's certainly a trade-off. I wouldn't say the smaller card pool is inherently a downside, nor would I be able to suggest something that would fix it.

Wild's upsides are being able to make more consistent, powerful decks with …
