Commander Focus: Chatterfang, a Chatter of Squirrels

I think most people know that a group of crows is called a murder, fewer are aware of the standard naming convention for a group of squirrels. And while traditionally a group of squirrels is called a drey (hence...

Battle for Baldur’s Gate: Preconstructed Deck New Card Roundup

Magic's most recent expansion had us travel to Baldur's Gate on a grand adventure, and in addition to the set itself, we got the usual suite of companion preconstructed decks. We've covered the the decks individually, but this week...

Unstable Mutation: Mind Flayarrrs
