Welcome to mtgrocks.com, your one-stop shop for all your MTG news, finance, strategy, and more!

mtgrocks.com was founded over a decade ago, originally starting as a Facebook page for MTG players to talk about the game, share funny memes, and engage with new friends. As the page continued to develop, a major interest in MTG-based content was seen, so this site was born in 2021.

Magic moves at a breakneck pace nowadays, and it’s our goal to help you keep up with everything that’s going on in the MTG space. Our focus is delivering all the breaking news to keep you updated, but we also provide financial secondary market snapshots, highlight format-breaking strategies, and break down simpler concepts.

When did I start Playing MTG

2014, a month before the Khans of Tarkir Prerelease. I still remember opening two Fetch Lands in my pool and having no idea why people were freaking out. I sold them that day for cheap and kept a $40 Planeswalker that is now worth nothing.

Favourite MTG Card

[tooltips content=” “]Lotus Field[/tooltips]. You will rarely find me playing a fair strategy in my spare time, and will usually find me playing Lotus Field combo in Pioneer or Modern.

Favorite MTG Format

Pioneer and Commander. I feel like Pioneer is the format where a bunch of degenerates just got shipped off to an island and duke it out while everyone else just ignores them.

Favourite MTG Deck

Lotus Field Combo in Pioneer and my Gorion self-mill Adventures deck in Commander

Biggest MTG Achievement

I have one Pro Tour appearance, but my favorite achievement is when I accidentally developed an entire Standard archetype back in Kaldheim Standard. It was called Mardu Fury.

When Did I Start Playing MTG?

Diving head first into Theros block in 2013, I’ve been playing Magic for over a decade. Despite that, nothing has ever eclipsed the peak of playing the 2003 classic Magic: The Gathering Battlegrounds.

Favourite Card

[tooltips content=”“]Pridemalkin[/tooltips]. How could you not love this funky orange fella?

Favorite Format

Alchemy. It’s good I swear.

Favourite MTG Deck 

Urabrask Combo. Alchemy cards go brrr.

Biggest MTG Achievement 

Surviving Alchemy’s constant lack of rebalancing.

Zachary Fink – Writer

When Did I Start Playing MTG:

I was introduced to the game by my brother roughly around the time of the release of Scars of Mirrodin in 2010.

Favourite Card: 

[tooltips content=” “]Vines of Vastwood[/tooltips]. I loved playing Modern Infect, and this card had a lot of interesting gameplay to it.

Favourite MTG Format:

Standard. I enjoy the consistent metagame shifts and the influx of new cards that help keep the format from getting dull.

Favourite MTG Deck:

Modern Infect. Before Modern Horizons cards were introduced, this was my favorite deck to play by far.

Biggest MTG Achievement:

Getting 10 wins in back-to-back Pro Tours with mediocre aggro decks.
