Wizards is adding God Packs to Magic starting with Nauctis in 2027: 1 in 1,000 Booster Packs, 14 rares and mythics. Here's the odds per box and why the market will shrug while your LGS goes nuts. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mtg-god... #MTG #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommander #MTGCommunity

Ten of the 17 creatures in Multiverse Reforged's weird decklist cost seven mana or more. The plan is to swap creatures, but I'd rather steal its best cards than play it stock. Decklist, keeps, and initial swaps: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/multive... #MTG #MTGCommander #MTGCommunity

The Star Trek Beginner Box is cancelled, with no plans to bring it back. Could a packed schedule, the Panama Canal, and rising fuel prices have led to the cut? Here's what we think: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mtg-sta... #MTG #StarTrek #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity

Some MTG creators who defend scalping keep reaching for the same playbook: mock the backlash, redraw what "scalper" means, call it "just business." Here's why none of it holds up. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mtg-cre... #MTG #Scalping #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity

Get around the legend rule, make copies, and you've got yourself a mat full of board wipes. Echoverse Fulcrum: draw/discard on entry, tap and exile for 5 to destroy all creatures. Colorless, fits any deck. What are you building around it? #MTG #RealityFracture #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity

Each pack guarantees a pair. Open red Chandra, you can get blue Chandra in the same pack. Here's exactly how Reality Fracture's echoed pairs work and the printing trick that made it possible: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/reality... #MTG #RealityFracture #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity

Zeta Set queue frozen for over an hour. Sold out in 5min when it resumed, and scalpers instantly posted their stock. Wizards called it a disaster. They're right. There are real fixes, and they're not using them. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/secret-... #MagicTheGathering #MTG #MTGCommunity

Knucklebone Witch went from $2 to $23 in three weeks. Radagast of Rhosgobel is up 5x off its post-release low. Here's what actually moved the MTG market in August, and why. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mtg-sin... #MTGFinance #MagicTheGathering #MTG #MTGCommander

The Perfectly Normal Superdrop has genuinely good reprints (Korvold, Animar, Grave Pact, Training Grounds) buried inside eight separate drops. It's also, like, the 4th Secret Lair in six weeks. Check it out: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/secret-... #MTG #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity

Weird one: Wizards says Reality Fracture Play Boosters could see a delay. A ship carrying US-bound stock is stuck in the Panama Canal. Initial pre-release/launch supply should be unaffected. #MTG #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity #RealityFracture #MTGCommander

There's a card dropping with the He-Man Secret Lair that's going to make some people mad, I love it. Real reprints too, Sword of War and Peace, Tasha's Hideous Laughter, Derevi. But that bonus card is the one everyone's going to be talking about. #MTG #SecretLair #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity

We have a bunch more MSCHF x MTG Secret Liar reveald, love the images they chose for some of these and again, some really great reprints that we don't see too often! What do you think! Drop a follow and lave a comment below! #MTG #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity #MSCHF #SecretLair

MSCHF x MTG Zeta Set boosters are Secret Lair's first-ever randomized pack. $150 Chrome Mox in the pool, Baleful Strix downshifted to common, and not print-to-demand. Here's why that matters: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/secret-... #MTG #MTGCommunity #MagicTheGathering

The Cardboard Chronicles @cardboardchron.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
First-ever Secret Lair booster packs, September 2nd, $19.92 each. Not print-to-demand, just while quantities last. These are going to move fast. Chrome Mox, Urborg Tomb of Yawgmoth, Birds of Paradise, the set is nuts. #MTG #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity #MTGCommander

Should MTG be afraid of Riftbound? The sales numbers are real, but the lesson here is not about maybe losing players, it's about how you adapt. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/should-... #MTGCommander #Riftbound #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity #MTG

Mark Rosewater's Big-Picture Questions column talks functional reprints, card types and timing, and oversized cards. The Commander vs Constructed answer misses the bigger gap. My thoughts: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/mtg-des... #MTGCommander #MTGCommunity #MTGCommander #MagicTheGathering

The Cardboard Chronicles @cardboardchron.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
But its what we all like to do together and there are always between 4 and 6 of us. Commander just works best for the group and can stay fresh enough to have a game go for an hour and still be fun.
010
The Cardboard Chronicles @cardboardchron.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
Yes, kind of. EDH as we once knew it is far behind. This current format has been warped enough into their version.

The Cardboard Chronicles @cardboardchron.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
Someone told me Commander isn't "real Magic." I have kids, limited time, and one or two game nights a month. Commander is the best multiplayer format out there for people like me. If you're having fun, you're doing it right. #MTG #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommander #MTGCommunity

Does anyone actually use these giant oversized commander cards? Found a stack while cleaning, probably more still buried somewhere. What do you do with yours? Also, giveaway drawing happens TODAY at 5pm. Last call, go enter. #MTG #MTGCommander #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity

One Marvelous Mathoms drop has ~$9 in reprint at a $30 tag. Another leans on Sol Ring for the umpteenth time this year. The reprint value discourse around this Superdrop is loud, and it's earned. www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/marvelo... #MTG #MTGCommunity #SecretLair #MagicTheGathering

Cleaning the office went better than expected, and I kept finding stuff I totally forgot I had. Best one: a 1996 Grins Unlimited "Magician's" Survival Kit, colored stones for tracking life totals. This is how we did it before phone apps. #MTG #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity #MTGAddict

Every card in the final set from the Hobbit Marvelous Mathoms Secret Lair super drop is Bilbo turning invisible, and the value is still a little suspect. Foil-only, drops Aug 17. #MTG #TheHobbitMTG #MTGCommunity #MTGAddicts #MagicTheGathering

$30 for a mono-colored precon built around angels, dragons, zombies, artifacts, or big dinosaurs. Foundations Commander is quietly the best bargain Wizards has put out this year. What we know so far: www.thecardboardchronicles.com/post/foundat... #MTGCommander #MTG #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity

Built my Fire Lord Azula deck last night, and it got me thinking. What's the off-the-wall commander you pilot? Not one that is near the top of EDH Rec. The weird one you actually love. What do they do, and why are they yours? #MTG #MTGCommander #MTGCommunity #MagicTheGathering

The Cardboard Chronicles @cardboardchron.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
I don't want the whole Reserved List gone. But a large chunk isn't relevant. A lot of cards from later sets could come back without disrupting anything. What side are you on? Check the pinned post on Instagram and TikTok for our giveaway! #MagicTheGathering #MTGCommunity #MTG
