MTG REserved List Functionally Better Alternatives

5/20/2021

 
Wizards of the Coast continues to say they will not reprint Reserved List cards. However, they do occasionally print functional alternatives to Reserved List cards. One recent example is Wheel of Misfortune in Commander Legends as a functional alternative to Wheel of Fortune.

In my latest article, Functionally Better Reserved List Alternatives, I cover some functional alternatives of Reserved List cards that are arguably better than their Reserved List counterparts. One discussed example of a card that is stronger than its Reserved List alternative is Eladamri's Call and Altar of Bone. Eladamri's Call has zero drawbacks and cheaper to purchase than Altar of Bone. Let me know if you play with other Reserved List functional alternatives in the comments.

Predicting Modern Horizons 2 Performance

5/11/2021

 
There is much excitement surrounding the release of Modern Horizons 2 on June 18th, 2021. My latest article, Looking at Modern Horizons 1 to Predict Modern Horizons 2 Performance, talks about predictions of card inclusions and mechanics for Modern Horizons 2. I cover recently revealed information, card spoilers, and my thoughts of what may be in the set. If cards named Urza's Saga and Diamond Lion spark your interest, this article is for you! Players must wait a bit longer before official Modern Horizons 2 previews begin on May 24th 2021.

Hello everyone! This week's article, Which Cards Spiked Because of Commander 2021, covers some of the biggest price spikes in Magic: The Gathering singles due to Commander 2021. I cover a few of the well-discussed card interactions like Adrix and Nev, Twincasters and Helm of the Host along with Mox Tantalite synergizing with Osgir, the Reconstructor. Also, I share information and price charts for some of the other interesting cards with price spikes. I hope you enjoy it and learn something new.
