OMG this got so Banned xD
Way the go in losing money fellas xD

CacatuaVerde(2017-01-09 20:15)

boooom! banned in modern. Good Bye PiF, Jeskai Ascendancy, and company

TCupcake(2016-09-05 13:07)

It is kind of wild to see a card as new as this in such desperate need of a reprint. Probably one of the best commons ever printed.

Butanero(2015-05-27 11:03)

Amazing. Information about the opponent's hand, card draw, and possible storm for ANT or just Flusterstorm. A+

DrakkarHeart(2015-05-13 16:25)

This is a perfect thoughtzeise combined with draw spells....it was just too good to pass it out.

thechrom(2015-05-12 23:08)

Play with 56 cards decks ! Combine it with Street wraith and play 52 cards decks ;)!

hugo87(2015-05-12 11:40)

This is a great example of how a simple design can be great: 0 mana for a sorcery speed peek. I'll take it.

Piromancer(2015-05-09 15:30)

Playing with informations about your opponents hand, drawing a card and all these without tapping a land is always good

noqxo(2015-05-08 16:33)

This is a card heavily used in modern and legacy combo decks, since it cantrips you "for free" and additionally gains you information about the opponents hand.

Fallatus(2015-05-08 08:03)

Strong in storm decks and in combination with specific discards.

Platinumflux(2015-05-07 22:34)

Always been curious about this, why is the foil worth so much more?

5 Exciting Build-Arounds from War of the Spark

SpoilersBy HansD (2019-04-30)

Standard has been experiencing a renaissance the past few sets, and War of the Spark looks to continue that trend. One of the most exciting aspects of Standard is that it has been a brewer's paradise, with off-meta decks such as Chromatic Black, Bant Vannifar, Five-Color Guildgates, and more proving the existence of creative deckbuilding in the format. Looking through the spoilers for WAR has shown that this set, more than any other in recent memory, is chock-full of build-arounds that could provide the building blocks for new archetypes. Let's jump right in and look at the five most exciting build-arounds I've found from the new set!

Reflecting Pool - 2018 in Review Part 1

EntertainmentBy HansD (2018-12-04)

In retrospect, I couldn't have picked a better year to start writing for Cardmarket. There were so many things that happened this year - whether it was the ever-changing Modern metagame or the release of Arena – that it's difficult to parse through and pick the most memorable news that came out of 2018. Considering I already tested my editors' patience with my Standard Golgari Midrange Compendium two weeks ago, I decided to split this article into two parts that will span two weeks. Without further ado, let's dive right into arguably the year's biggest storyline!

It's not only because of its raw power, but also because of how easy it is to build balanced and synergistic decks around it. Pietro is here to tell you everything you could possibly want to know about Paradoxical Outcome in Vintage.

Changing Tides: U/R Delver in Legacy

ConstructedBy CabalTherapy (2018-10-24)

For many years, U/R Delver has been a great choice for aggro players in Legacy. Its damage output via Delver of Secrets and Monastery Swiftspear fueled by Gitaxian Probe allowed for insane starts. But does it work nowadays?

Top 3 Decks for Legacy from Pro Tour 25

Event CoverageBy CabalTherapy (2018-08-15)

In the end, we experienced a rather average snap shot of the meta paired with some smaller surprises. In the following, I present my top three conclusions from the Pro Tour and how they will affect the near future of Legacy.

The Next Step for Storm

ConstructedBy CabalTherapy (2018-08-01)

No more Shaman, no more Probe. Storm lives on but will have to adapt and change much like everything else. Seizing opponents' thoughts and wrapping them in tendrils is still going to be one of the best ways of ending games of Legacy, even if its players are forced to adapt.

Modern Shadows Part 1: Grixis

Legacy's Two-Cost Cantrips

ConstructedBy CabalTherapy (2018-04-30)

Zero Thrill: The Pact of Negation Story

ConstructedBy Kumagoro (2018-03-14)

Were Force of Will available in Modern, the format would be dramatically altered. And yet, Modern does already contain a piece of non-conditional zero-cost countermagic, and while it's not played as much as Vintage and Legacy's signature counterspell, it's been tentatively around since Modern's early days.

A Case Study on the Fall of Bant Eldrazi

ConstructedBy HansD (2018-02-02)

Modern evolves as new cards enter the format, broken enablers are banned, and archetypes are discovered through off-the-wall experimentation. What used to be a tier-one archetype can in a few months be outclassed, outdated, and outmatched by the new hotness. Bant Eldrazi is one such archetype that now finds itself looking in from the outside of a format it once used to rule. How did this powerful deck manage to quickly fall from the top of the pile?

This article elaborates on its reasons for vanishing and the necessity of its return.

This article will try to give you and your team some options for the Legacy component of upcoming Team Constructed events. I’ll give each deck two scores, the first for experienced Legacy players and the second for players who are not as familiar with Legacy as a format.
