Monday we reported that Hall of Famer Seth Manfield had won a second MTG World Championship. Now, however, there appears to be an asterisk on his historic win that cemented him as one of the all-time greats. This is due to a controversial judge decision to allow a take-back during his match with Ken Yukuhiro.
Today, Wizards of the Coast streamed the last Weekly MTG of 2025. In today’s stream, we got our first look at Marvel Super Heroes. The Universes Beyond set, slated for a June 2026 release, was able to confirm some information, reveal a few cards, and show off alternate art treatments.
The MTG World Championship was held over the weekend with the finals being played Sunday December 7th in Bellevue, Washington. As reported by Nick Miller at Star City Games, Seth Manfield has won his second title.
Avatar: The Last Airbender features many Legendary Creatures based on the characters of the tv show. Many characters even have multiple versions of themselves to show the character transformations they went through. With the show’s bending being worked into an MTG mechanic, there are some powerful while flavorful cards that would make for a really great Commander Deck.
In 2009, in an attempt to bolster sales of the booster boxes, Wizards introduced the Buy-A-Box program. Cards were printed often as reprints or variant art styles and sometimes as unique cards to the set. They were given out to anyone who purchased a full booster box as a fun way to say thank you. Because stores would sell packs from the booster boxes individually, Buy-A-Box promos would still find their way into circulation, often being sold as singles. According to an update to stores from Wizards Play Network, this program is soon coming to an end.
