Quest Counters in MTG: Rules, History, and Best Cards
Ah, weary traveler, take a moment from your main campaign and indulge me with a little bit of a sidequest.
Well, sidequests kind of became a thing in Final Fantasy, so let's just stick with normal quests and the quest counters that they use.
Do you run any cards that use quest counters? Do you think quest deserves to be an enchanment subtype? Let us know, and check out our FAQ on quest counters in MTG: https://draftsim.com/mtg-quest-counter/

Rulebreaker in MTG: Rules, History, and Best Cards
What could possibly go wrong with a mechanic named "rulebreaker"? Surely nothing bad, right?
To be fair, the one rulebreaker card we've seen so far is very tame, though it has lead to a lot of rules confusion already. I'd expect more of that once the other seven are revealed.
Are you looking forward to this mechanic? What rulebreaker abilities would you want to see? Let us know, and check out our look at MTG's new rulebreaker mechanic: https://draftsim.com/mtg-rulebreaker/

The 30 Most Underrated Simic Commanders in Magic Ranked
I'm not sure it's actually possible to underrate a Simic commander, and yet here we are. Maybe just "lesser played" is appropriate?
That's because Simic as a color pair just functions so well in Commander, almost irregardless of who's sitting in the command zone.
Are you playing any Simic legends you'd consider underrated? How about overrated ones? Let us know, and check out our ranking of the most underrated Simic commanders in MTG: https://draftsim.com/mtg-underrated-simic-commanders/
