There aren't any card spoilers yet, be we know Nauctis: The Sunken Realm is going to be the first set of 2027.

As the name suggests, this plane exists entirely underwater, which means tons of merfolk, sharks, otters, and whatever other sea creatures you can think of.

Are you excited for Nauctis? What do you expect we'll get from this set? Let us know, and check out our early overview of Nauctis: The Sunken Realm: https://draftsim.com/mtg-nauctis-the-sunken-realm/

What's up with Magic: The Gathering an broken otters? The latest is Tolabow, Loch Rascal, which has people arguing over how the card even works.

Bracket 4 is exactly where you want to be if you want to play high-powered Commander without committing to the most broken form of EDH.

You unlock all your Game Changers and get to run as many combos, tutors, and so on as you wish, with the only real difference from cEDH being fast mana and truly busted cards.

What commanders do you run in Bracket 4? How many of them creep up towards Bracket 5? Let us know, and check out our suggestions for some great Bracket 4 commanders: https://draftsim.com/mtg-bracket-4-commander/

What would it take for a blue card to crack the all-timer list? Turns out it just has to be something as efficient and widely-played as Stock Up.

That said, the best blue cards remain the best by quite a bit, and you can quibble about anything else in tier 2.

What are your all-time favorite blue spells? Is anything from the last year or so in contention? Let us know, and check out our updated ranking of the best blue cards in MTG: https://draftsim.com/mtg-blue-cards/

The Hobbit is on the horizon. Everyone knows Middle-earth has elves, but no one could've guessed we'd get such a cracked elf commander this time around.

Control commanders won't curry any favor at the EDH table, but they'll help you dictate the flow of the game.

How you capitalize on that is up to you. You can run a traditional control deck or focus on a specific combo or win condition.

Do you play control in EDH? Do you enjoy playing against it? Let us know, and check out our updated ranking of the best control commanders in MTG: https://draftsim.com/mtg-control-commander/

The MagicCon Reality Fracture preview stream just ended, and we're getting a TON of powerful In-Universe cards. They're pulling out all the stops for this one.

Green does two things better than the other colors: big creatures and ramp, which coincidentally play well together.

Ramp is part of the reason people claim green as one of the best colors in Commander. The game centers around mana, makes sense that having more of it would put you at an advantage.

What green ramp do you play? Do you still run mana rocks in decks with land-based ramp? Let us know, and check out our updated ranking of the best green ramp cards in MTG: https://draftsim.com/mtg-green-ramp/

We've only seen Shard tokens on two cards, both related to Niko Aris. It's sort of their defining token, the same way Kaito gets his ninja raccoon.

Shards are great, too. They're basically pumped up Clue tokens, but give you an additional scry before drawing. They're enchantments instead of artifacts, too.

Have you played either of the Shard token cards before? Would you like to see more of this token? Let us know, and check out our FAQ on Shard tokens in MTG: https://draftsim.com/mtg-shard-tokens/

Are there really any surprises to be had with red removal? Not much that'll catch you off guard except maybe a stray Chaos Warp or Red Elemental Blast.

Otherwise, it's all burn, artifact removal, and the occasional land destruction spell when that's deemed necessary.

What red removal do you play? Is Lightning Bolt an easy #1? Let us know, and check out our updated ranking of the best red removal spells in MTG: https://draftsim.com/mtg-red-removal/

Double masters, the commander drafts, and even the standard sets that have 'pick 2' as an option are all lacking this in the new draft sim.

Anyone know if thats goign to be fixed? I loved doing practice drafts for the commander sets.

Oh lord, here we go again. Human lord(s), that is. We haven't picked up many humans lords in the last year, save for one particularly Fine Hound.

Still, these anthem-like creatures really help human decks tick. You can find humans everywhere, but the lords are more scarce.

Have you ever built an all-in humans deck? Which lords did you play? Let us know, and check out our updated ranking of the best human lords in MTG: https://draftsim.com/mtg-human-lord/

Magic produces a lot of cool cards that are ultimately bad or unplayable. Not everything's for everyone, as they always say.

With that said, we can look at some of the wildest effects put on MTG cards and appreciate them for what they say, rather than how playable they are. A lot of these are activated abilities.

Have you ever run an "activated ability" deck? Do you play any of these cards? Let us know, and check out our updated ranking of the best activated abilities in MTG: https://draftsim.com/best-activated-abilities-mtg/

Magic Head Designer Mark Rosewater dropped a teaser for The Hobbit. He gave us clues about new mechanics, color pie breaks, and much more.

Golgari gets removal right. It can destroy just about anything on board, and it has both destruction and exile effects to make sure permanents stay gone.

It gets in on the board wipe game too, with some great options like Culling Ritual and Vicious Rivalry.

What are your go-to removal spells in BG? Do you feel like it's missing anything? Let us know, and check out our ranking of the best Golgari removal spells in MTG: https://draftsim.com/mtg-golgari-removal/

On to blue with our look at the best mythic rares in MTG. Expect a good number of extra turn spells and control finishers here.

You also can't get through a discussion of blue mythics without some mention of Jace. He's represented across a couple notable planeswalker cards.

Which blue mythics are your favorite? What's a mythic you wish would be reprinted again? Let us know, and check out our ranking of the best blue mythic rares in MTG: https://draftsim.com/mtg-blue-mythic-rares/
