Secrets of Strixhaven Set Review

2026-04-17T11:39:20+02:00

Secrets of Strixhaven looks like a sequel that actually levels up. Prepared creatures let you “store” spells for later, while Paradigm turns one cast into a free spell every turn. Add Mystical Archive reprints, five tuned precons, and meaningful land upgrades, and SOS feels like an instant Commander staple set.

An Introduction to Premodern

2026-03-31T08:14:52+02:00

Ben introduces us to Premodern: A 1v1, 60-card format spanning from Fourth Edition through Scourge that recreates 1995 - 2003 Magic without Power Nine or original Duals. Modern reprints are allowed, but a dedicated banlist avoids “Legacy-lite.” The metagame favors interactive, instant-speed staples, basic-heavy fetch manabases, and classic archetypes from aggro to combo-control.
