Boosters contains two versions of the same character in different colors. Prerelease September 25, full release October 2, 2026. Here is everything confirmed at the first look.

Mood Swings is a standalone trading card game designed by Magic: The Gathering head designer Mark Rosewater. He first came up with the concept in 1998 and spent 28 years trying to get it made. It finally debuted at MagicCon Las Vegas in May 2026 and goes on sale June 1 exclusively through Secret Lair for $25. Here is everything you need to know about what Mood Swings is, how it plays, and why it took nearly three decades to get here.

Secrets of Strixhaven is out and the set is loaded. Between the Mystical Archive, the Emeritus cycle, and a main set full of new mechanics, there is a lot to dig through. So we did the digging.

And Dimir Excruciator is here to ruin everyone's afternoon with a combo the format was not prepared for. Here is the full breakd

The biggest MTG singles price spikes of April 2026 came from three different parts of the market simultaneously. Budget cards tripled in price because of a Commander precon. Mid-range staples spiked on combo hype before Secrets of Strixhaven even launched. And the high-end Reserved List kept doing what it always does. Here is every major April 2026 MTG market mover organized by price tier with the story behind each one.

Wizards announced five MTG Historic pre-bans tied to the Secrets of Strixhaven Mystical Archive arriving on MTG Arena today. Armageddon, Daze, Force of Will, Vampiric Tutor, and Library of Alexandria are all out of Historic before a single game was played. This is the full breakdown of every card that got banned, the official reasoning from Wizards, and an honest take on the one decision that has the community scratching its head.

The Secrets of Strixhaven Emeritus cycle puts five of Magic's most iconic spells onto mythic rare creatures, one per color. Each creature has a different way to become prepared and a different spell waiting on the right side of the card. Some of them are genuinely broken. Some of them are disappointingly conditional. Here is every Emeritus card ranked from worst to best, with an honest breakdown of what each one does, how easy it is to use, and which formats it actually belon

Secrets of Strixhaven gives each of the five colleges its own exclusive mechanic for the first time, and each one plays very differently from the others. This is a full breakdown of Repartee for Silverquill, Opus for Prismari, Infusion for Witherbloom, Flashback for Lorehold, and Increment for Quandrix, with real interaction examples, rules clarifications straight from the team, and an honest take on which mechanic is going to matter most in your games.

The MTG Paradigm mechanic from Secrets of Strixhaven is getting nowhere near the attention it deserves. Cast a sorcery once, exile it, and from that point forward you get a free copy at the start of every single one of your turns for the rest of the game. It cannot lock you out of casting other spells, copies keep coming even if countered, and it is optional to trigger. This is a complete breakdown of how Paradigm works, why it is more powerful than people realize, and what i

The Prepared mechanic is the biggest talking point from Secrets of Strixhaven and most players still have questions about how it actually works. Straight from the people who built it, including Executive Producer Athena Froehlich and Senior Game Designer Daniel Holt, here is a full breakdown of what Prepared does, how creatures become prepared and unprepared, which iconic spells are attached to which creatures, and what the Reserved List actually has to do with any of it.

Secrets of Strixhaven is not just a 2026 nostalgia trip back to a beloved Magic setting. The design team rebuilt it with mechanics that actually feel like each college, Commander decks designed to look and play like the faction you opened, a Mystical Archive bigger than ever, and the Prepared mechanic putting Ancestral Recall on a standard legal card. This is the full breakdown of what makes Secrets of Strixhaven worth getting excited about, straight from the people who built

Magic's singles market had a genuinely surprising March 2026, and the story behind the numbers is not what most players would expect. Premodern, the fan-driven format added to Magic Online in December 2025, is driving sustained price spikes across late-90s and early-2000s cards that most players had completely forgotten about. From a $5 card hitting $20 in eight days to a Reserved List rare climbing past $48, here are the biggest MTG singles price spikes of March 2026 with ve

Strixhaven is back and players are already losing their minds about it, and honestly, fair enough. MTG Secrets of Strixhaven drops April 24, 2026, and what we have seen so far paints a picture of one of the most anticipated proper Magic sets in years. Five Commander precons, a returning Mystical Archive bonus sheet, a planeswalker commander, new mechanics, and a 20-card leak that dropped yesterday have given us plenty to talk about. Here is everything we know so far.
