Wizards missed the May 1 deadline to recognize the MTG Arena union. They Fisher Phillips. A firm known for fighting union efforts. 30,000+ fans have signed the petition. More than MagicCon LV attendance. The community's taking notes www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/uwotc-u... #MTG #UWOTC

The new MTG Hobbit One Ring card is the same ring as the 2023 One Ring card. Dan Frazier admitted to it. Wizards apologized. The card is staying in the set anyway. What happened, and why this one is different: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/the-dan... #MTG #MagicTheGathering #MTGHobbit

Path to Exile but it can kill planeswalkers. A mana doubler for every spell deck ever. A 3-mana Wrath with an easy condition. And a draw 2 that drains opponents every turn for free. The SOS cards worth buying: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/the-bes... #MTG #SecretsOfStrixhaven #MTGCommander

Pro Tour Secrets of Strixhaven is coming, and the Standard metagame is one of the most defined in years. One deck. Nearly a quarter of the field. And a top 4 combo deck that a lot of players still don't understand. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/pro-tou... #MTG #PTSOS #SecretsOfStrixhaven

The way I yelled when I pulled this can not be exaggerated. Amazing card, amazing art, amazing luck. Secrets of Strixhaven is a fantastic set and the Mystical Archive is a blast. #MTG #MagicTheGathering #SecretsofStrixhaven #MystalArchives #magiccommander

A $4 card from 2007 tripled. A banned Commander legend became a Modern threat. A cat went vertical before Secrets of Strixhaven launched. April 2026 MTG market movers: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mtg-sin... #mtg #mtgfinance #magicthegathering

Secrets of Strixhaven hits Arena, and Wizards has pre-banned five Mystical Archive cards in Historic. Armageddon. Daze. Force of Will. Vampiric Tutor. Library of Alexandria. Full breakdown and what got left in: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mtg-his... #MTG #MTGArena #Historic #Strixhaven

The Cyclonic Rift Japanese Mystical Archive art is a calico cat clinging to a flagpole in absolute terror while a cyclone tears a Japanese town apart behind it. That is the card. That is the art. It is perfect. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/secrets... #mtg #strixhaven #mysticalarchive

Silverquill, the Disputant gives every instant and sorcery Casualty 1. Every spell becomes two spells for the price of one token. All game. Full Commander deck guide: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/sac-up-... #mtg #commander #edh #strixhaven

MTG players! Make sure you grab your copy of Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos. You get a sweet promo Command Tower, and maybe they can keep putting out full-length novels! #MTG #MagicTheGathering #Strixhaven

Pokemon's latest TCG set, Perfect Order, is on shelves. Prices are low. Scalpers are skipping it. Here's why Mega Evolution: Perfect Order can't match Ascended Heroes, and whether it's still worth buying. 🔗 www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/so-what... #Pokemon #PokemonTCG #PerfectOrder

4 creatures + Sprout Swarm = infinite tokens. Every instant and sorcery in your deck gets cheaper. They called it "the Balancer." 😂 Full Witherbloom, the Balancer Commander guide: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/unbalan... #mtg #commander #edh #Strixhaven

Each Strixhaven college finally has its own mechanic. Repartee, Opus, Infusion, Flashback, Increment. All five explained with the interactions that actually matter: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/secrets... #mtg #strixhaven #magicthegathering

Secrets of Strixhaven has a mechanic that gives you a free spell every turn for the rest of the game and it is getting zero coverage because everyone is too busy arguing about Ancestral Recall. Paradigm fully explained: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mtg-par... #mtg #strixhaven #commander

Ancestral Recall is on a card in Secrets of Strixhaven. Here is how the Prepared mechanic actually works, from the designers themselves: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/the-mtg... #mtg #strixhaven #magicthegathering

The Block Format is returning to Magic: The Gathering in 2027, and the Rosewater quote writes itself. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/magic-t... #MTG #MagicTheGathering

We chatted with Secrets of Strixhaven design & narrative team. And honestly? This set sounds like a blast. This set is going to be so good. Full breakdown of themes, mechanics, and design decisions: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mtg-sec... #MTG #Strixhaven #SecretsOfStrixhaven

Your Commander deck is a bracket higher than you think. The MTG Bracket System got a big update in October 2025 and there is a lot that changed. Full breakdown at the link. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mystica... #MTG #Commander #EDH

Zaffai and the Tempests leaked from Secrets of Strixhaven. One free instant or sorcery per turn on a 5/7 body. We already built the Commander deck guide before spoiler season kicks into full gear: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/the-ban... #mtg #commander #edh

Not trading cards related, but Pokopia is amazing. Just finished my tree house for my birds!

Two tokens: mana. Three tokens: draw a card. Four tokens: Baylen gets three counters and trample. Fresh tokens count. The fluffy cotton tail is a trap. Full Baylen Commander deck guide: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/thumper... #mtg #commander #edh

Bandai just dropped the One Piece TCG ban list update. Pudding is banned, six cards are off the restricted list, and Block 1 is rotating out. Full breakdown of every change and the impact here: thecardboardchronicles.com/post/the-grand-line-shifts-the-march-2026-one-piece-tcg-ban-list-announcement

One MTG set nearly got Wizards R&D fired. Another had eight cards banned at once. A third invented an entirely new product category. The 5 most impactful Magic sets of all time: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/the-top... #mtg #magic

Hot take: hybrid mana should count as "or" in Commander deck building, not "and." Nearly 500 cards, locked out of decks that could cast them. The rule change was proposed, debated, and shelved. We think they got it wrong. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mtg-hyb... #mtg #commander #edh

Krang hits the board. Your whole artifact army gets flying, trample, indestructible, and haste. Someone at the table is going to say "wait, ALL of them?" Yes. All of them. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/use-you... #mtg #tmnt #edh

MTG TMNT top 10 cards actually worth buying, ranked by price and playability. Super Shredder leads. Two Michelangelos make the list. Utrom Monitor at $8 might be the steal of the set. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/the-top... #mtg #tmnt #edh

TMNT just turned your $14 Arcbound Ravager into $2.40. Marvel, The Hobbit, and Star Trek sets are still coming. Nothing outside the Reserved List is safe. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/do-mtg-...

Unpopular opinion: a $40 precon upgrade can beat a $400 "optimized" deck built by someone who doesn't understand their strategy. Knowing what your deck wants to do and cutting dead weight is free. The rest is just cheap singles. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mystica... #mtg #commander #edh

Leonardo meditates. Michelangelo eats pizza. Together, they run a five-color token engine that buries entire Commander tables under +1/+1 counters while looking completely harmless until turn six. Deck guide is up. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/pass-th... #MTG #Commander #EDH #TMNT

Jace tried to reshape the Multiverse. It did not go well. Now there's a white Liliana, a villain Wizards says will blow your mind, and the potential return of an Eldrazi-fighting ancient race. Let's talk Reality Fracture👇 www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mtg-rea... #MTG #RealityFracture

The bonus card from the Brain Dead: New Earth Mentality Secret Lair is Miren, the Moaning Well. Fantastic art on this one, and a great card that sits at about $20 for LP. It's the first reprinting of the card since its debut in Saviors of Kamigawa.

Wizards didn't just slap TMNT art on Magic cards. They distilled 40 years of a franchise, comics, cartoons, and arcade games into a mechanically coherent set with real narrative identity. Check it out 👇 www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/how-wiz... #TMNT #MagicTheGathering #MTG #UniversesBeyond

Me googling "how to play Magic: The Gathering" and finding out there are 47 different formats... We wrote the beginner's guide so you don't have to figure it out the hard way www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mystica... #MTG #MagicTheGathering #CardGames

Friendly reminder that Super Shredder costs two mana, has Menace, and gets a counter every time ANY permanent leaves the battlefield. Your opponents will ignore him on turn two. They will deeply regret it on turn six. Full deck guide is live 🔗 www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/fear-th... #MTG

Not gonna lie, the MTG TMNT Pizza Bundle is one of the cooler presentations they have done. An awesome collector item, not sure if I should open it! #TMNT #MTG #UniversesBeyond #MTGCommander #EDH
