The Oathbreaker Format

Hello Everyone, today I'm talking about a new format called Oathbreaker!

It's like a different version of Commander. You are allowed to use any cards in MTG's history (Although there is a ban list). However there are a few differences.

Instead of using a legendary creature as your commander, you use a planeswalker. This sounds exciting because now people can use planeswalkers to lead there decks, which will hopefully be a fun metagame.

And instead of a hundred card deck, you use a sixty card deck. To remind some people, this isn't brawl. Yes it has sixty card decks, but it is different because you can use cards from any set of Magic.

Finally, there is one more card that is put in your command zone. The signature spell. Basically, you have a planeswalker as your commander, and a spell that is treated like a commander. So when you build a deck you choose a commander and a spell that goes with it. This is and interesting aspect to gameplay so I'm interested to see what happens.

That's all for now!

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...

Unsanctioned

Unsanctioned, a combination of all the un sets and a few new cards, comes out near the end of the month. It will contain five thirty card decks that can be combined in many different ways. But what are un sets and is this a good product to buy? In August, 1998, Unglued was released. It was the first un set to come out and contained silver bordered cards that were not tournament playable. Because of this, cards could do much different things than regular Magic cards and more odd possibilities could be put into set design.  The next set was Unhinged releasing in November of 2004, expanding on Unglued. Unhinged contained 141 cards, where as Unglued only had 88. Unhinged also contained beautiful full art lands that were great additions to decks. Once again all the cards were silver bordered and were not tournament legal.   And finally, Unstable, which came out in December, 2017. Unstable is one of the best of the bunch, it was made for drafting, and succeeded in ...
