After a fairly lively set of bans, the rest of the year is going to be pretty big for Magic: Arena. First up, Amonhket Remastered is set to debut next week, which will usher in both of the recent Egypt-themed sets that have since rotat...

I totally forgot Magic: Legends exists! While a lot of folks were clamoring for a Magic: The Gathering MMO, we got this instead at The Game Awards last year. It's Magic by way of Diablo, which could be all sorts of great if d...

Despite a few physical product delays this year, Magic: The Gathering is still trucking along, which means Magic: The Gathering Arena is trucking along too. Wizards of the Coast hasn't missed a digital rollout timeline for a major...

While the status of the mobile port is still very much a mystery, the Magic: Arena team reminded us this week that it's still being worked on, and will likely arrive before the end of 2020. In the meantime, there's a lot planned for Ar...

It's time for yet another Magic: The Gathering set, which means that it's time for another Magic: Arena set. As the two formats — paper and digital — debut together, we enter yet another busy year with four sets to jug...

When Magic: The Gathering Arena ushers in a new set, generally the powers that be provide a promo code that you can redeem for three packs of said set. The new code is actually already live now (PlayM21), but a few are cycling out...

Magic: The Gathering Arena launched last fall (after a lengthy beta period), and continues to stroll through each set (Core 2021 is coming soon). But it's sadly still on just the PC platform: until this week, that is. Wizards of the Coast h...

Magic: Arena, as always, is in flux. In a sort of give and take, the season (mastery) pass dropped in value for the Ikoria set, but Wizards of the Coast is bringing back the historic (old cards) ranked queue to compensate. According to Wiza...

While Magic: Arena just forged ahead with its Godzilla-filled Ikoria set, there's still plenty of old cards that need some love too. After all, Magic heavily favors standard, but folks have been clamoring for more ways to play the...

Like clockwork, a new expansion has rotated into Magic: Arena while everything else currently in standard is still in play. Ikoria is now live in Magic: Arena and in paper form in Asia, with the worldwide paper release pushed back to May 15...

When Wizards of the Coast said that the next Magic: The Gathering set, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, would center around giant monsters, this isn't what I had in mind. Announced this morning, Wizards has struck a deal with Toho Ltd to use...

Everything is kind of weird right now, and some publishers are adjusting due to COVID-19 concerns. While a lot of physical meetups and conventions have been outright canceled (either due to practicing social distancing guidelines or by forc...

[Update: The patch is now live, and you can read the full breakdown here. The gist is that Historic Anthology 2 is ready to go, as well as direct messaging/away social features, color challenges, a new UI for sleeves, and the low key abilit...

Another round of Magic: The Gathering bans are afoot, but they're not nearly as staggering as the last set of announcements. This time standard (the main form of competitive play) is not impacted: instead, the bans impact brawl, historic, l...

Wizards of the Coast is expanding the Historic format (which uses older, non-standard cards) in Magic: Arena, and they're doing it in a way that involves multiple facets of Magic. For starters, 25 new cards are coming to Arena's Historic mo...

Magic: Arena is still trucking along at a brisk pace, having moved right into the Theros: Beyond Death set, and scheduled to host Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths in April with Zendikar Rising coming in September. But at some point this year, Aren...

The Magic: The Gathering World Championship XXVI (this game has been around for a while!) is happening in Hawaii from February 14-16 once again this year, and now Wizards of the Coast is adding a nice bit of synergy with Magic: Arena&n...

Magic: The Gathering Arena has some monetization problems: but finally, the season (known as "mastery" in this game) pass isn't one of them. Though the whole concept got off to a very rocky start, the recent Theros expansion managed to...

Slowly but surely after that very vague and somewhat misleading Game Awards reveal (in which the MMO elements of this very dungeon-crawler looking game were pumped up), Wizards of the Coast and Perfect World Entertainment are pulling back t...

Well, when I heard that Wizards of the Coast was creating an "MMO" based on the Magic: The Gathering universe, this wasn't what I had in mind. A Magic MMO is a concept that's been ready for the taking for a few decades now, but it...

Magic: Arena's fairy-tale-themed Eldraine set has had some ups and downs, especially with the Oko Brawl and eventual full-on standard ban. It's going to get a big shakeup in January once the Theros set hits, which is also the end of the cur...

You'll get to play as a Planeswalker in Magic: Legends, a new MMO action-RPG game coming from Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios of Neverwinter fame. Beta sign-ups are live. Multiple times now during The Game Awards 2019, I've...

Having played Magic: The Gathering for many years now, I'm always thinking of new decks to brew, but I have a bunch of competitive collections when I need to head into ranked play. Here's a few that I enjoy playing at the moment, which...

Magic: The Gathering Arena has gone through a lot of changes. It's only been a few months since the "1.0" retail release, and Oko has been banned, some technical issues have been smoothed over and a friends list feature is on the horiz...

[Update: The Twitch deck is now live, and you can acquire it by logging into your Twitch loot section and pasting the code into Arena's storefront. You can find the full list for Magic: Arena's Liliana's Legion deck below. Notable cards inc...
