David Ernenwein used the MTGO All-Access Pass to extensively test Pioneer, finding closure on Rakdos, disappointment with Greasefang, and renewed faith in Spirits. quietspeculation.com/2023/06/pionee…

This weekend we experienced Tales of Middle Earth and its effect on Legacy. Michael Mapson takes us through what we saw in Baltimore before looking at what comes next. quietspeculation.com/2023/06/how-mi…

It's not that Jeskai is bad, but Rob's found the wedge operates a bit differently than expected. Meanwhile, red continues to over-perform in LTR Draft. quietspeculation.com/2023/06/the-se…

The longer this goes on, the more it looks like my theory that Wizards' marketing department held onto the box with the serialized The One Ring is plausible.

Tales of Middle Earth is not Standard-legal, but its power level is low like that of a Core Set. With that in mind, how much should draft booster boxes cost? Sigmund Ausfresser investigates. quietspeculation.com/2023/06/tales-…

David Ernenwein explains why Vintage on Magic Online is way underplayed, offering a crash course on its rules of engagement. Be warned: here there be dragons. quietspeculation.com/2023/06/a-diff…

This week David S. looks at specs based on legends from The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth that will make a splash in Commander. What makes a good buy? quietspeculation.com/2023/06/where-…

The June Modern Metagame Update is here. New additions have stirred Modern's mostly stagnant metagame, but that might not be permanent. David Ernenwein has the details. quietspeculation.com/2023/07/june-2…

The Reserved List isn't going anywhere. Could Wizards modify the list so they can have their cake and eat it too? @ComeauPaulJ shares his thoughts on the subject. quietspeculation.com/2023/07/reserv…

The One Ring is driving the metagame changes in Modern. However, the impact isn't particularly high, and the card's power remains unclear says David Ernenwein. quietspeculation.com/2023/07/june-2…

I'm a huge nerd, so when I saw David Ernenwein 's Modern Metagame article (quietspeculation.com/2023/09/august…) I went ahead and did something similar for Pioneer! reddit.com/r/PioneerMTG/c…

Well, that's sure a way to start a season. #BroncosCountry

I realize that Magic twitter already has strong opinions on Rakdos Scam, but can I add some data to the fire? quietspeculation.com/2023/11/octobe…
