This generation is delivering profits, but gamers aren't executives—they want games!

The cost of over US$1,000 for the basic version of the Steam Machine raises a very relevant question for consumers: is it worth buying one?

In this article, we'll show you everything you need to know about the new set, Pitch Black, which will bring us even more Mega Pokémon ex! It will come out on July 17th, 2026.

The Great Henge has its time to shine on Pioneer thanks to a one-drop from Secrets of Strixhaven!

Orzhov Pestilence was among the best decks in Pauper when Bonder's Ornament was unbanned, but could it make a comeback in 2026?

Five series that prove the most interesting comedy of the past five years lives far away from the laugh-track-dependent sitcom. Airports, chairs, Latino ghosts, comedies that cost less than two episodes of Ted Lasso. Welcome to the world of quirky comedy! (A polite word we found to replace "bizarre.

Mistaking Planar Standard for merely "a format without Universes Beyond" means failing to understand the true demand driving the community that created it.

After nearly a month, LSS once again updated their banned and restricted list, most particularly to balance the game before Pro Tour: Los Angeles, which will take place in a few weeks.

Hello, everyone!

We are past the halfway point of the year, and soon—at the end of July—the 13th set, Attack of the Vine, will launch. This release will also bring us the yearly Core Constructed rotation, meaning sets 5 through 8 will no longer be legal in the format.

In other words, we are in the final weeks of the current Core format, but there is no time to slack off! Several events are still on the close horizon—most notably the second Disney Lorcana Challenge in São Paulo, organized by Copag Games.

So, let’s get ready for these events and review the state of the format since the arrival of Wilds Unknown!

The new expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, Everyday Wonders, arrived on June 30, bringing brand-new cards.

But what exactly are Secret Missions in Pokémon Pocket?

Imagine a challenge that remains completely hidden and only reveals itself once you meet its goal. That is exactly how secret collections work. The game does not show any clues about these tasks until you manage to gather a specific group of cards from the set. The moment you place the final required card into your collection, the mission unlocks automatically and your prizes are instantly rewarded.

In total, the Everyday Wonders expansion features 12 of these hidden challenges.

To help you make sure you don't leave any resources behind, we have put together this step-by-step guide to unlock every single one of them!

Officially released on June 29, 2026, the Everyday Wonders collection arrived in Pokémon TCG Pocket with the mission of shaking up the game's metagame. Let's see if it delivers.

Below is my analysis of the main cards in the set:

And if you have just started playing this format, you might feel as if all blue players care about is countering things. I don't believe that's true, but it is a fact that blue answers are much more efficient than blue threats, and that applies to white cards as well.

If we were to take this ranking literally (as in, the 10 most played cards), we'd have to add 9 counters to it. So, we decided to group a few of them together in the same spot and add different cards and effects to the other spots.

The universe of magic has always held a very special place in the world of anime. Far from being stuck in old clichés of bubbling cauldrons and long noses, Japanese animations have transformed the concept of witches and sorcerers into something incredibly rich, varied, and full of style.

Right and wrong are often subjective concepts. There's a very fine line separating a tyrant from a savior, and heroes have to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Generally, we only see one side of the story and assume that the one we control is the hero and our adversary is the villain. But when we stop to analyze the motivations of some of these villains, we can reflect: were they wrong?

These are the villains we’ll discuss here. Villains who, from their point of view and in their circumstances, did what was necessary to achieve their goals, whether it was their own survival, the survival of those around them, or because they knew they were the least bitter remedy compared to the available alternatives. And if someone is missing from the list or if you have any questions, just leave a comment.

Do you, dear reader, enjoy stories of witchcraft, ancient cults, shrouded in shadow and mystery, non-linear narrative and historical context, all of that in the middle of a plot that includes rights changing hands more than once, an extensive legal battle, and a creator being separated from his own creation, everything going far beyond the context of a game? If that’s a yes, the story we have to tell today will definitely catch your eye.

If you’ve kept up with the last gaming announcements, especially the Summer Game Fest, you’ve probably seen the trailer for a game that immediately captured thousands of people’s attentions, so much so that, a mere two days after the trailer release, it had already surpassed the number of 333 thousand Steam wishlists: 1666: Amsterdam. But do you know of the story behind this game’s announcement?

Turbo Fog, a classic Magic archetype, exists in Pauper at just the right level. It is a Tier 2 deck. It produces occasional results, appears in Leagues, and sometimes makes a Top 8, but it does not reach a level of dominance that makes it unpleasant to play against due to frequency. It preys on traditional Aggro decks, can win some games against Tempo in Games 2 and 3, but can also stumble on its own game plan or face a strategy that does not rely on combat or is too fast to hold off, and thus it does not see as much play.

Today, there are two to three variations of Turbo Fog. One is mostly  and runs Crypt Rats to keep the board clean and win the game alongside Weather the Storm, and in some cases with a blue splash for Stream of Thought. The other, which we will cover today, is Simic , with Stream of Thought as the main win condition, mixing prevention effects, card advantage sources, and stack interaction to control the pace of the game.

Check out the information about the new promotional booster packs given out at official Leagues, featuring the new card list with Pokémon such as Meowth ex, Mega Gengar ex, Mega Dragonite ex, and Mega Charizard X and Y!

In this article, we'll show you four new decks with the new cards from Chaos Rising, including Mega Greninja ex, Mega Pyroar, and Mega Dragalge!
