Wizards of the Coast released an enchantment‑based deck alongside Secrets of Strixhaven in Azorius colors. Although we put together an upgrade guide, the feeling I had piloting the list was that, unless blue was underperforming and offering little compared to the mana‑base concessions required, it wasn't worth it.

Cutting blue, I arrived at a Mono White Auras list that's relatively common in MTGArena Best of One matches—where more linear decks tend to perform well—and with some adjustments, I prepared an efficient list for Best of Three that can serve as a starting point in the format for those looking for easy‑to‑pilot archetypes to grind daily wins.

Rumors surrounding the pre-order of GTA 6 have dominated social media in recent days. The topic began after alleged leaks linked to retailers like Best Buy and GameStop indicated a possible opening of reservations as early as May, and although nothing has been officially confirmed by Rockstar, this was enough to stir up forums, content creators, investors, and even the financial market.

Take-Two's stock rose amid the speculation, while communities began to monitor any changes in databases, Rockstar's website code, and internal movements of digital stores. The behavior surrounding GTA 6 shows how the game already occupies an unusual space within the industry, functioning as one of the few releases capable of influencing economic discussions even before reaching the market.

This is because GTA has ceased to be just a commercially successful franchise. GTA V recently surpassed 225 million copies sold and continues to generate revenue more than a decade after its release, mainly through GTA Online. Few games in history have managed to maintain commercial relevance for so long and on such a large scale.

Whenever we hear about game development, we think of astronomical sums. After all, there's the creation of sprites or 3D models of the characters, buying assets, an engine, musicians, voice acting, and creating a storyline. Games currently have budgets that rival major Hollywood movie hits.

But not every successful game has a billion-dollar budget to support its launch, development, and marketing. There are cases of games that were successful and only needed a low budget and creativity from their creators. And that's what we're going to talk about today.

Games that had a relatively low budget and a resounding success that generated millions of dollars. Of course, these numbers aren't exact, after all, the values ​​aren't always disclosed, both in terms of initial cost and total sales. Furthermore, we're also talking about games that had an almost artisanal creation process.

So, let's talk about ten cases of games that earned millions with a budget equivalent to a croissant and a lemonade, and if you have any questions, leave a comment.

Are you familiar with the popular expression "I'll go on one foot and come back on the other"? In Japan, the equivalent of this expression comes straight from Super Mario Bros. "B Dash" or "Bダッシュ" can mean "to run", "to go running", "to go in a hurry", and is used as a casual expression, like "I'll run over there". The term has existed since the 80s, originating among gamers because of Super Mario where, to run, you had to hold down the B button on your 8-bit Nintendo controller.

Debuting with high scores from both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, the new Netflix original is the third feature film from director Olivia Newman. Stepping away from more complex, action-heavy plots, the director delivers a quieter film with a simpler storyline, focusing on the development of three characters, including a Giant Pacific octopus.

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name, the screenplay was written by the director herself in partnership with John Whittington (an experienced writer for children's movies like Sonic and The Lego Batman Movie, though this is not a children's film, despite acting like one at various moments). The film stars Sally Field, Lewis Pullman, and the voice of Alfred Molina, who plays the Giant Pacific octopus.

The entire story revolves around the encounter between these characters, and honestly, it never feels convincing for a single moment, but we will get to that!

This is a review WITHOUT major spoilers. You can dive right in with a clear conscience.

Greetings, Legacy community! This week, we got another banlist update, and, considering the last times we got updates, I didn't expect much besides another "No Changes". I didn't even stay online refreshing the page to see if Wizards of the Coast would do something.

I was dealing with the frustration of my actual life when I got a message on my phone. "Is this real?" it read, and below there was a screenshot of the new banlist update.

Legacy - Undercity Informer

 is banned.

Several months ago, Phantasmal Flames gave us Mega Lopunny ex PFL 84, and a few months ago we showed you the list that won the Tokyo City League with it. So, as I was intrigued by this Pokémon, I thought, why not do the same thing as we did in this Lokix PFL 10 article and use the X/Y Eeveelutions with Mega Lopunny as well?

This way, we could use Flareon AOR 13, Vaporeon AOR 22, and Jolteon AOR 26 to change Mega Lopunny ex PFL 84's type and take advantage of several weaknesses at once.

Because Mega Lopunny ex PFL 84 is a stage 1 Pokémon, it can take advantage of all these Eeveelutions.

Colorless archetypes are usually vulnerable because they can't counterattack with weakness damage, but this strategy solves that issue.

So, let's see how this would work with Mega Lopunny ex!

In today's article, we'll see an old friend return to the current OP15 meta. Monkey.D.Luffy ST13-003 was once incredibly dominant, but he lost space as time went on and became quite unpopular after some bans.

Today's list was built for One Piece TCG's "Expanded" format, that is, Extra Grand Battle events. We'll see how it plays out nowadays. It might not be the tier-1 list from before, but it's still a great option.

Swapped was one of Netflix’s most-watched animated films this May. Blending fantasy and adventure, it stands out for its stunning visuals, a heartfelt message about empathy, and a plot twist that caught many viewers by surprise.

Today, we’re taking a closer look at this film, which truly feels like it was made with great care.

The story follows Ollie, a small creature from the pookoo species, and Ivy, a bird from the javan species. They belong to rival groups competing for resources in the mysterious Valley. When they both come into contact with a magical light left behind by the giant ancestors known as the Dzo, they suddenly swap bodies.

What could have been just a simple children’s body-swap comedy becomes a survival journey. Trapped in each other’s forms, they must cross a hostile ecosystem, understand the pain of their “enemies,” and much more.

A problem that has worried many gamers today is the issue of game ownership. Increasingly, companies are trying to reinforce the idea that you don't truly own the game, but only a license to use it. This appears in user agreements that almost no one reads and end up being used as a basis to justify decisions such as removing games from stores, whether players want it or not. In practice, this means that even paying for a game, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to play it whenever you want in the future.

Generally, games disappear from digital stores mainly for two reasons: expiration of licenses and low sales. Often, both things happen together. Maintaining active servers for games that have sold little and have almost no online players simply doesn't pay off for companies. Furthermore, many games depend on contracts to use licensed music, brands, cars, actors, or characters, and these contracts need to be renewed from time to time.

When a game no longer generates enough money, renewing this type of license ceases to make sense. Paying to continue using music or the image of people and brands in a practically abandoned game becomes a cost that doesn't pay off. Therefore, in many cases, the simplest solution for companies is to remove the game from digital stores and terminate the contracts altogether.

Even so, many of these games were good and still have fans who’d like to play them today. So, let's talk about games you can no longer buy. And if you have any questions or remember other games that have also disappeared, just leave a comment.

Launching a game isn't the cheapest task, and after you release a title, you need to try to make as much money as possible from it. One way to do this is with different editions. In most cases, you buy an edition, receive your game, and that's it. Other times, developers release versions with exclusive in-game bonuses if you pre-order or purchase a more expensive edition.

However, for those who love the franchises and want to have the best of them, companies release collector's editions with exclusive physical items and gifts that make fans want to invest a good amount of money to own such products. But sometimes, developers go overboard and release things that exceed expectations.

Some editions include very well-made, beautiful statues that you're proud to display. Others include practical, wearable, or everyday items that show the world you're passionate about the game. And, from time to time, they go too overboard and offer things like luxury cars, roles in feature films, and other items that require a lot of money if you really want to take them home.

It's these editions we're going to talk about: some of the most expensive or interesting collector's versions ever released. If you have any questions, just leave them in the comments.

It's no secret that Standard is expensive. As I published in March, the format still has the same average deck cost when adjusted for inflation, but both the top-tier archetypes—four-color piles or mythic piles—and the bottom tier—cheaper competitive decks—have gone up in price.

It's a pleasant surprise when a more affordable archetype manages to put up results. That was the case with player Matsukasa10's Mono Black list, which made Top 8 of a Standard Challenge on May 5 running a rare-less list.

The story follows Lhan, played by Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul, a young woman hunted since childhood because of her rare blood type, which is used against her will as a sort of "transfusion pack" for millionaires.

After witnessing her parents' murder, she goes to live under the protection of House 89, an underground organization of professional assassins. Within that environment, Lhan forms a strong bond with Pran, played by Thanapob Leeratanakachorn, while trying to understand why she must remain isolated from the world.

In this article, we'll go over a list that saw play at the South Korean League on April 25th, 2026. It centers around Okidogi, from Twilight Masquerade, and Barbaracle, from Perfect Order!
