Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Has Big Interactions Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a weak set, all told. As I went through the cards (and yes, I read every main-set card) I was only really impressed by the synergies, not the individual pieces. And while synergies are great for Magic, they don’t work well for a… Read More »
Lorwyn Eclipsed Gives Us Cards New And Familiar I remember playing the original Lorwyn; it was one of the first sets I ever played. After so much time, it’s kind of surreal to return to the plane. Back then, I didn’t understand much when it came to strategy, deck construction, or even some of the… Read More »
Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s Multicolor Cards Win Hello, and welcome to the massive—and final—Avatar: The Last Airbender card review. We’ll be finishing up the list today by going over so many of the multicolor cards, and a few other standouts. If you haven’t already, go back and find our lists for white and blue, black… Read More »
Avatar: The Last Airbender Has Some Great Cards The amount of good Avatar: The Last Airbender cards left me in a little bit of a bind. I wasn’t sure how to arrange the lists so that they would feel like each article covered a good amount of cards. But the multicolor list turned out to… Read More »
Avatar: The Last Airbender Is A Well-Designed Set It’s always fun for me when I review a set, partially because, over time, I start to see intended interactions. How, at least in a closed environment, these cards are supposed to function. And the Avatar: The Last Airbender set is a great lesson in how deep… Read More »
Avatar: The Last Airbender Makes Strange Choices Avatar: The Last Airbender (the Magic: The Gathering set) is a powerhouse, a game changer, and a strangely designed set. Lots of little choices made I find extremely odd. The four bending styles are all represented through unique abilities, but they seem incredibly unbalanced. Airbending is brutal, disruptive,… Read More »
The final part of our Marvel’s Spider-Man list is quite varied in what the cards do. The only thing—besides the obvious—tying the whole thing together is that they all feel like core pieces in different combo/synergy decks. Some may even see crossover uses. Superior Spider-Man Revival decks are a lot of fun, but there are… Read More »
We’re back at it! After a small break to start getting into some spooky media, we’ve got two more lists of Marvel’s Spider-Man cards to get through. This time, we’re getting into the multicolor cards—and there are some weird, but fun, options here. Spider-Ham, Peter Porker This is such an odd card because of the… Read More »
I promised you powerhouses, and with these five cards from Marvel’s Spider-Man, you’ll be getting them. The final one on this list is by far my favorite, and I expect to build a deck around it basically as soon as I can. Villainous Wrath I don’t feel like I need to explain this card all… Read More »
Back again, back again, to Marvel’s Spider-Man. And this time, we have our first (and only) flip card out of the whole set. Because of my rules about WUBRG order and alphabetical order, this chunk of five is a little chaotic, but there are some excellent—and I assume generally undervalued—cards mixed in. I always love… Read More »
