Wizards of the Coast unveiled seven new sets coming to tabletops in 2026 at MagicCon Atlanta 2025, along with a second wave of MTG X Final Fantasy cards
First Edition Base Set cards, especially Charizard, consistently bring the highest prices
There are many high-level Dinosaur-Type monsters, so the general strategy for them is to Summon their high-Level monsters as quickly as possible using cards like "Hunting Instinct" or "Big Evolution Pill", overpowering the opponent's weaker monsters before they have a chance to defend themselves
The decks are Riley McKay's "KSI's Gardevoir" (Masters Champion), Liao Fu Guan's "Joltdengo" (Senior Champion), Yuka Okita's "JP Raging Bolt" (Junior Champion), and Jose Cruz Galindo-Resendiz's "Pult Bomb" (Junior Finalist).
Subtle Strike and Skulduggery are generally better and cheaper, though Borrowed Malevolence has the upside of being a first-turn kill spell against a 1-toughness creature without needing another target in play
If both players make their land drops and have spells to cast each turn, it's better to be on the play
