These descriptions suggest that Chandra’s romantic interests have always been primarily for “the brawny (and decidedly male) types,” and there is indication that the love that she shared with Nissa was “platonic....

While it’s unlikely to be the next Questing Beast, in its own way, it’s as much of a genuine threat in what it represents in Magic: The Gathering, whether Standard or Commander. It could be far more dangerous in Commander games by merit of having multiple targets to attack. Bloated Contaminator is the next overpowered green creature in Magic: The Gathering Magic: The Gathering has a rich history of green creatures that do far more than what their mana value might suggest....

The Magic: The Gathering digital offerings for this week keep most of the spotlight on Zendikar Rising, but there are still some Kaladesh Remastered drafts available as well for players who are interested in more of a throwback.

After an impressive start to the busy December, with three wins in as many games, the Foxes ended the year on a low after they could only muster a point from their last four matches.

He described to near perfection my own experience as well as the emotional, intellectual and physical roller-coaster ride that I have been unable to put into words. My cancer type (throat) and specific treatment were different, but the awful journey was the same. About the only thing Alter didn’t mention was the profound sense of aloneness (not the same as loneliness) that my wife and I both experienced despite being surrounded and supported by loving family and friends and my medical team....
