Seattle resident Noah Weil currently helms the ship, but the archive includes years of columns from various Magic writers, so if you are at all interested in learning more about forty-card formats, I highly suggest you tune in.
We get three to four full 'Standard' sets annually (about one every three months) and a varying mix of smaller sets - usually focused on specific formats, or revisiting a popular past setting with additional cards
This separate collection of 15 cards often makes the difference in the outcomes of best-of 3 matches, and knowing how to build a sideboard and when to swap cards into your main deck is an essential way to prepare yourself for any competitive game
The rest of the deck is filled with cards that either are creatures that modified themselves, have effects that let you modify creatures, or are spells that help modify your creatures
For instance, transforming Invasion of Amonkhet into Lazotep Convert to copy Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal from your graveyard can effectively create an unkillable creature
Unfortunately, even with Wizards current stance on AI art, its incredibly unlikely this is the last time this issue will arise
