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...

Double Masters: The best set...Almost

     Double Masters is the newest Magic the Gathering set releasing on August 7th. Each pack will contain two of everything you usually get. So two rares or mythics, two foils, all that good stuff. The cards included in Double Masters are like a dream come true. Cards that have been expensive in the past are being reprinted: Jace the Mind Sculptor, Mana Crypt, Force of Will, Karn Liberated, Blighsteel Colossus, Dark Confidant, Doubling Season, Mox Opal, Sword of Fire and Ice, Exploration, Cyclonic Rift, I could go on. It finally feels like players will be able to get these expensive cards that they couldn't afford in the past. Unfortunately, the price to get sealed product is way too high. One booster pack, just one single booster pack, costs fourteen dollars! That is one single booster pack, not a collector's edition, not a VIP pack - one regular pack costs fourteen dollars. And a booster box? Well, you can find one of those for $320. The price is just way too high. Yes,...
