Shock lands are a popular and versatile dual land option in Magic: The Gathering. Starting with Edge of Eternities, shock lands are making their way back into standard. With Edge of Eternities, we saw 5 of the 10 shock lands come back into play. The last time we saw all 10 shock lands in standard was when they were released in the Ravnica sets from 2018 and 2019. With Lorwyn Eclipsed, we’ll see the other 5 shock lands not in Edge of Eternities come back into Standard.
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.

There are a lot of formats in Magic The Gathering, but the main format, Standard, sees a consistent rotation of cards. Here are the best cards in White, at least until Aetherdrift rotates in later this month.
Magic: The Gathering pulled the veil back a bit on the first standard legal set of 2025, Aetherdrift, revealing the new mechanics and some of the new cards coming next month.
Ever heard of "Red Deck Wins?" It's thanks to the fact that Red typically has some rather powerful cards to call its own, no matter the Standard rotation. Josh takes a look at some of the best Red cards in Standard right now as we start 2025.
