The 2-Drop Creature Cycle

Today's post is discussing Magic the Gathering's famous powerful 2-drop creature cycle. The reason why these 2 drop creatures are so powerful is because turn two is a critical turn in the eternal formats. Most turn one plays are to set up for the rest of the game. Turn two is when most decks start functioning. These 2 drop creatures are hugely powerful also for only needing 1 coloured mana of their specific colour as well as 1 more colourless mana to cast them, so decks only have to splash a colour to play them.

The Price of Legacy (Budget & Non-Budget)

Today's post is discussing the price to join Legacy. By now, either if you are new or have been with Legacy for a while, you might have noticed that the price for Legacy seems quite high. The reason behind this is because Wizards of the Coast have a reserved list and the lack of reprinting on Legacy staples. This reserved list has a list of cards which are not allowed to be reprinted to protect collectors' interest. There has been a lot of debate on whether or not the reserved list should be abolished. My opinion is the reserved list should be abolished because Magic The Gathering is still a card game at heart which millions of people play. Here is a link to the reserved list from Wizards of the Coast.

Brainstorm

Today's post is discussing this blog's namesake card, Brainstorm. Most commonly played in Legacy as well as other formats, Brainstorm is a very powerful card in it's ability to draw cards, protect hands, organise decks, and fix draws, all for the price of one blue mana.

Magic The Gathering & the Legacy Format

For those who are new, Magic The Gathering is a trading card game with the idea of you being a special type of wizard, known as a planeswalker, which has the ability to travel between different worlds in the multiverse, collecting different magics along your journey, and where you use these magics against other planeswalkers, or who you may know as players.
