Golden Golgari For me, the city of Ravnica is a place of nostalgia. When I first started playing casually in college, Ravnica: City of Guilds had just been released. I bought intro decks and packs and proceeded to play really badly with my friends. Then, when I got into Magic more seriously and transitioned to Commander, Return to […]

Commander Treasures It's that time of year again! August, the birthday month for many an EDHREC author including Joey Schultz, Sam Alpert and yours truly. For our birthdays, Wizards has decided to release the yearly commander product in August again! Now there may have been a bit of a kerfuffle about what exactly a "Jund lands" […]

Down to the Core All hail the return of the Core Set! Historically, core sets have not been anything exciting for enfranchised players. They may have held a card or two like or , but those were usually pearls amongst the pig's feet. The last Core Set was Magic Origins, which was wildly popular, as it […]

Battlebond is upon us, and Wizards has been kind. We've got sick reprints; sweet new cards; the return of partner, but with a twist; friend or foe cards; and more! Even if you aren't interested in playing Two-Headed Giant, the format Battlebond was designed for, you can't not be excited about the set. Let's jump right into […]

Today on Dig Through Time we finish up Kamigawa block with a review of—Saviors of Kamigawa. This set gave us mechanics like sweep,epic, and channel which varied from good to bad. Sweep was bad; epic, an early attempt at a legendary sorcery, was only good on two cards; channel was okay, and probably paved the way for bloodrush. One technological development in […]

Hoooleeeee crap, it has been awhile. But! Dig Through Time is back today with a review of the second set of the infamous Kamigawa block—Betrayers of Kamigawa. This set came out 13 years ago in 2005 (can you believe that 2005 was 13 years ago?) and introduced one of the most popular, most requested aspects […]

It's that time again! A new set is about to be released, we know what cards are in it, and we need to talk about them. This set is so dense with top-notch cards and so exciting that I'm just going to let them speak for themselves. Let's skip the preamble and talk about all […]

Hello, it's Dean from Dig Through Time, but today I'll be taking you through the most promising red cards in RIX. Historically mono red has been the worst, or one of the worst, […]

Welcome back to another Dig Through Time, and I apologize for the delay between our last column and today's. Just an FYI, this series is going to become slightly more intermittent, dropping down to once a month or so for the time being, as my family welcomed my second baby on November 21st (fingers crossed […]

Welcome back to another Dig Through Time—I apologize for the lateness of this article. I had some computer troubles, and some issues with work and getting ready for a second child. This week we're going to check out 2002's Onslaught set. Onslaught brought back the cycling mechanic which was first introduced during Urza's Saga, and which we saw […]
