Magic: Arena is still rolling along with a heavy focus on standard, but over the past few years, Wizards of the Coast has added several classic modes to help extend the life of the game. "But what happens to my old cards" is always a questi...

Magic: Arena is gearing up for several big events these next few months, in what it is calling "Summer of Legend." That includes a surprise concept titled "Mirror, Mirror," a mode where old cards are "reprinted" in digital form. Here's...

Magic: Arena launched a big expansion in the form of its Strixhaven set, and naturally, there's some bugs. It's not uncommon to see bugs at the start of a huge patch (Fallout 76, ho!), but Magic: Arena has become sort of known for it, ...

Magic: The Gathering Arena just launched wide on mobile, and Wizards of the Coast wants people to know about it: with a Japanese commercial. Like many commercials in the region, it starts with a bored salaryman at work dreaming of something...

Magic: The Gathering Arena is back with another set, which is kinda sorta in early access form in Arena before it hits stores. The entire theme of Strixhaven is "magical schools," including factions that resurrect life to study it, or ...

In today's giveaway you can take an exclusive Crusader Armor Pack for Magic: Legends! So get this: Magic: Legends is in open beta, and it's totally free to play and check out. Exciting! I'd play it, but I was banned from participating in ma...

Magic: The Gathering Arena is getting ready to host the Strixhaven expansion very soon, and it seems like it's going to shake up the meta pretty hard. I mean at that point you'll have to deal with seven different sets in standard, incl...

Magic: The Gathering Arena has finally made its way to iOS. It took Wizards of the Coast, what some refer to as a "small indie company," nearly two years to move the game off of the exclusivity of the PC/Mac platform and onto mobile de...

What's in standard? A lot. And it's about to get even more cramped. The Strixhaven: School of Mages set is joining Magic: The Gathering next month, and will be a part of standard play alongside of Eldraine, Theros, Zendikar, Ikoria, Core 20...

Magic: The Gathering is continuing to expand outside of the realm of Arena, and is heading into the dungeon crawler genre with Magic: Legends later this year. Slated for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, the Diablo-like game allows you to assume ...

Magic: The Gathering Arena has had some...problem cards for a while now in certain formats. I mean, Uro and Omnath have both been banned in standard for some time! Now they will be completely removed from historic play (Omnath was previousl...

The viking-themed Kaldheim set is out now in Magic: Arena, and people seem to be taking to it. A few new archetypes have already sprung up to combat the popular Dimir Rogues theme, and I love seeing all new lovely card art. But before you d...

It's been...a year! Well, it's been...a hard nine months or so, but it's felt like a full year. And in that time, I've forgotten about a lot of games that were sort of vaguely coming in 2021, or were pushed further away into limbo. That inc...

I've been covering Magic: The Gathering Arena for a long time now, and ever since I saw a semblance of a hint that it would reach the mobile platform: I've been waiting for more substantial info. Waiting, I tell you! While it was origi...

Magic: The Gathering is getting a new set very soon, which in turn means that Magic: Arena will be getting a new set. On January 28, the Viking-oriented Kaldheim set is going to debut in Arena digitally, and will be available "eve...

The time has come for Wizards of the Coast to pull back the curtain on Magic: The Gathering's next viking-themed set: Kaldheim. Billed as the most metal set yet, Wizards is kicking off preview/spoiler season on January 7 at 9AM PT, at which...

Magic: The Gathering Arena often does random "free code" drops, and this time, they're giving away themed lands. Dubbed "Happy Little Lands," these basic cards are themed after the paintings of Bob Ross, and come in all five varieties (plai...

Kaladesh is back, and with it, an endless supply of Blossoming Defenses and Gearhulks. Man, that set was wild, wasn't it? Well, sets, to be precise. The 2016-2017 Kaladesh and Aether Revolt sets are now revived under one "remastered" banner...

The Commander gametype has really taken off in Magic: The Gathering in recent years, no doubt due to its accessibility and the excitement of playing as a "hero," which standard Magic play can often lack. In very basic terms, ...

Magic: The Gathering Arena just hosted its new Zendikar Rising set alongside of the paper version of Magic, and things are going...better now, following a huge set of bans. Yes, much to the chagrin of players everywhere Wizards only banned ...

For the past several years, it's not uncommon to see a Magic: The Gathering meta where a single card archetype is defining the vast majority of competitive decks. We saw it with Oko, then we saw it with Uro. Now we're seeing it ag...

Last week Wizards of the Coast said that they were "monitoring" standard play for Magic: The Gathering Arena, and would report back with any potential bans to smooth out the meta. Well, they did: Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath is now ban...

Magic: The Gathering standard is in a very weird spot right now thanks to the new rotation. In the hundred plus games I've played since Zendikar hit, the vast majority of decks in competitive play err on the side of ramp. For those of ...

Yesterday, Wizards of the Coast was all set to roll out the Zendikar Rising set for Magic: Arena, but the client had other plans. It was a massive update. Not only was a new set arriving, but Wizards also had to introduce a brand new rotati...

Just ahead of the new standard rotation for Magic: The Gathering, the Arena team has posted a "state of the game" blog to give folks a heads-up on what to expect in the near and far future. As a reminder, rotation is a yearly event tha...
