Ixalan is coming!

Hour of Devastation has been released, and now I need something to think about 24/7. That would be Ixalan. The first of two parts for this new block is coming out on September 29th. Wizards of the Coast has not given much information to the public, but they have told us that the second part of the block will be called Rivals of Ixalan. On Magic.wizards.com Wizards of the Coast has written a description of both parts.

For the first part, called Ixalan, it says, "For centuries, the untamed jungles of Ixalan have hidden a coveted secret: Orazca, the city of gold. But no secret can remain undiscovered, and no treasure can remain uncontested. Unfurl your sails, saddle up a dinosaur, and battle your rivals as you embark on a journey to claim the plane's greatest fortune for yourself!"


For the second part, called Rivals of Ixalan, it says, "The legendary city of Orazca has been found, but it will not be claimed without a fight. Now you must outpace, outwit, and overpower your rivals as you vie for this ancient metropolis. Succeed, and you will wield the greatest power of the plane."

I can't wait for Ixalan!

New Challenger Decks

The new challenger decks were just announced! There will be four decks, each having sixty cards and a fifteen card sideboard. Each deck has a different theme, and the idea is that they will be standard playable right out of the box. The four new decks are: Allied Fires Final Adventure Cavalcade Charge Flash of Ferocity Allied Fires is a  Fires of Invention  deck with a heavy load of uncommon (and a few rare) planeswalkers. It's in the Jeskai colors, although I should note that the deck does include  Kenrith, the Returned King , which has abilities that not every color in the deck can use. Final Adventure is, like it's name, an adventure deck. It has a lot of adventure creatures, as well as synergies to go with them.  Edgewall Innkeeper  is there to provide some value and  Lucky Clover  can copy the adventure side of the creatures. Cavalcade Charge is a mono red aggro deck....that's about it. However, that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. The...

Pioneer

Pioneer, the new MTG format, was just announced by Wizards of the Coast. It has there full tournament support, and they have announced future tournaments for the format. But what is Pioneer? Pioneer is a non-rotating format, and the card pool is from Return to Ravnica and up. So that means you will be able to play cards from the Theros block, Tarkir block, Kaladesh block, and many more. A lot have been comparing it to frontier, and expecting it to fail, but there is a difference. Frontier had a smaller card pool and not a lot support from Wizards of the Coast. Pioneer is a bigger card pool, support from Wizards of the Coast, and even has competitive tournaments coming up. Pioneer has so much possibility, looking at all the decks from past standards, it's hard to decide what deck to play! Before I go any further, I do want to say that there is a ban list, but it only includes the five fetch lands from Khans of Tarkir. Which is fine with me, but at the same time there is so many...

New Secret Lair Drops

Secret lair, which is a recently new product for MTG, is going to be getting five new drops during the world championship. They will be revealed live on February fourteenth, and will be available for purchase until the sixteenth. So today I'm going to give a little more info about the new drops and also give a reminder to what secret lair is and how it works. Secret lair is actually a fairly new product. The idea was that on a certain day a secret lair product would drop, and after that day it would never be available again. The first drops came last December. There were seven drops, and each contained several alternate art versions of cards. The art wasn't like usual Magic art however, because the artists got a little more freedom to get creative. In January, another secret lair dropped, this time celebrating the year of the rat, with several rat cards all with unique art. This leads us to now. During the world championships, Wizards of the Coast will be revealing five ne...
