For the Kaldheim release I am taking a slightly different approach than usual. Rather than doing another massive guide I thought it would be better to break the content into more manageable chunks and spread it out over the week…
As I was killing time waiting for Kaldheim to release, I noticed a cool little event dropped to help us Limited players bridge the gap: This event comes in two flavors. Both the Traditional (BO3) and BO1 versions are available…

Hey folks and welcome back! Apologies for the delay, as it’s been a couple of months since my last Limited Spotlight, and that’s because I’ve been tied up with Constructed set reviews, brewing for events, updating the Limited tier list,…
Hi folks! This is my belated write-up for all the updates I’ve made to my Core Set 2021 Limited Tier List (click the link above) since its initial launch (or at least those I noted down/can remember!). As usual, I…
A fresh Limited format is upon us and I suspect the transition from Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths has been jarring for most players. Although Ikoria was creature heavy and not entirely unlike Core Set 2021, there are some key differences…
Welcome! This article is an accompaniment to MTG Arena Zone’s Limited Tier List, linked above, and Reviews, which I co-author. I refer to my grades for specific cards frequently here, so it may be worth having the tier list open…
To cap off Core Set 2021, you will find two iconic reprints in this section as well as ‘signpost’ multicolor cards for each archetype. These gold cards are generally powerful and particularly important to pay attention to in this set,…
In this Core Set, Green’s stampeding all over the competition with an assortment of beasts so burly that even Garruk would envy their muscles. Truly it’s a strange day when a boar easily upstages a dozen cats in cuteness, but…
Red is packing heat in Core Set 2021. With its scorching removal spells and lightning fast threats curving into powerful Dragons, Red has a plethora of tools to damage its foes. Drifter I’ve been enthralled by Limited ever since I…
Black once again brings its eternal entourage of nightmares along for the ride but, rather than just tearing you apart with their claws, they’ll be draining the life right out of you this set! Drifter I’ve been enthralled by Limited…

Welcome back! and I (hello, I’m Drifter!) were inspired by the vast number of kind comments and the level of community support we received during the last set release, and so we’ve been especially looking forward to bringing you our…
**Note** What follows is some of the first stuff I ever wrote in the early days of MTG Arena. I decided to re-release this as a guide since Ixalan has found its way back into the Ranked Draft rotation this…

Welcome back folks! Throughout Ikoria, as always, I’ve been updating my tier list regularly, but it’s been a month since my last written update so I wanted to cover my changes since the last one, go over my thought processes…
Under normal circumstances I would have done an update in May as well, but things have been anything but normal. May quarantines have given way to June protests, so it is anyone’s guess how long it is going to be…
Hi there! This is a passage from my War of the Spark Exhaustive Guide; I recently did a huge update to that and found that putting new work on top of my old work made it very long, and I…
Hello and welcome! I took a short hiatus from draft guides to do some constructed stuff (I’ll link all of my articles in the Info section at the end) but now I’m back to my roots! With the return of…
