Magic: The Gathering's Murders at Karlov Manor is a murder mystery-themed set that released in February 2024. Murders at Karlov Manor includes returning and new characters to the MTG universe and follows an investigation of multiple murders on the plane of Ravnica. Also, exciting new-to-MTG cards and reprints like Lightning Helix are found in the set.
TCGplayer Infinite's fascinating article, The Best Steals and Deals from Murders at Karlov Manor, dives into some of Murders at Karlov Manor's best singles bargain buys. This article is worth your time if you are aware of the Archdruid's Charm's versatility or No More Lies impact on Constructed formats, among other low-priced cards. Green is one of the main colors in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Green is known by players as being the most synergistic with color fixing, land ramp, gigantic creatures, and +1/+1 counters. Decks looking to win the game by attacking with large threats tend to rely on green. Also, players use green cards as to destroy artifacts and enchantments, draw cards, and even protect their battlefield from a board wipe.
My latest TCGplayer Infinite article, 5 More Green MTG Commander Cards You Should Be Playing, discusses five green cards worth playing in the 99 of a Commander deck. Recently released Standard sets like Murders at Karlov Manor and The Lost Caverns of Ixalan contain some outstanding green cards for Commander players to consider for deck inclusion. Check out the article if you enjoy Commander and want to improve the power level of your green decks. Magic: The Gathering's Commander format is immensely popular with players. In Commander, players build 100-card decks led by a legendary creature or planeswalker capable of being a commander. In addition, almost every card printed in MTG over the past 30 years can be added to a potential commander deck, making possible configurations nearly endless.
Over the lifespan of the Commander, certain cards have proven to be excellent in many decks. Players often look to add particular cards to decks identifying with their aligned color. For example, players tend to include Cultivate and Beast Within in Green Commander decks. However, some popular card choices have become more cost prohibitive for players to add to a deck or their collection. In my TCGplayer Infinite article, 6 MTG Commander Playable Cards in Need of Reprinting, I highlight several expensive Commander playable cards that players would be thrilled to see reprinted in 2024. Reprinting Chrome Mox or Gemstone Caverns should lower their average market prices since more supply would become available on the secondary market. For now, players can only hope that a few of the most sought-after MTG cards get reprinted this year. Magic: The Gathering’s first Standard set for 2024 is Murders at Karlov Manor. Releasing on February 9th, Murders at Karlov Manor follows Investigator Kellan, Kaya Cassir, and Alquist Proft's investigation into several murders on the plane of Ravnica. Can the trio solve the murder mystery by following clues and receiving assistance from unlikely allies? Players can dive further into the set's story, mechanics, and new-to-MTG cards by opening Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, Commander Precon Decks, and Ravnica: Clue Edition.
Standard sets with returning mechanics synergize well with certain cards from older sets. Investigate is a returning mechanic in Murders at Karlov Manor, previously seen in Shadows Over Innistrad. Besides returning mechanics, Murders at Karlov Manor contains new cards with interesting abilities and creature types like Detective and Mole. As a result, a handful of Murders at Karlov Manor's new-to-MTG caused older cards to spike in price. My latest article Which MTG Cards Spiked Because of Murders at Karlov Manor? dives into the details of a few notable card price spikes. A fascinating infinite combo and card drawing synergy are merely two reasons that led to card prices rising sharply. Read the article to learn more about the set and see if you own any cards worth more than they were a few months ago. |
