Magic: The Gathering’s latest set, Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, has a strong focus on mono-colored cards, but it boasts 10 two-color draft archetypes. As a way to lead players in the right direction, Wizards of the Coast made a two-color legendary creature as a signpost for those potential paths, one for each color combo. Each of the cards is uncommon in rarity despite being legendary, so there’s a reasonable chance that you’ll stumble upon at least one or two during a draft. If you see the

Magic: The Gathering’s newest set, Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures of the Forgotten Realms, is all about highlighting the lore of D&D through the flavor of MTG. This appears through cards named after iconic pieces of D&D. But Wizards of the Coast extended that to include a new spin on “ability words.” Traditionally, an ability word is italicized text on a card indicating an ability that it has. Because these specific abilities appear on multiple cards, it “ties together abilities on different cards that have similar functionality,” according to the game’s

Magic: Legends entered its public beta phase a few weeks back, and it was a pretty exciting prospect for fans of the Magic: The Gathering universe who wanted to play a Diablo-like game set in that world. However, the beta wasn’t without its fair share of issues, including performance issues, a frustrating grind, and microtransactions. It would appear that the development team at Cryptic Studios feel that they’ve “missed the mark” with the game, and have decided to shut the game down completely even before its full release. “It is
