Masters 25 Continues

Masters 25 is still in full swing on Magic Online! Offering cards from every single tournament-legal set ever printed, the set is overflowing with possible archetypes and synergies. (#crabcombo forever!) What's the weirdest combo (or nonbo) you can put together? We literally don't even know! Masters 25 is made to be explored, so let your creativity shine.

More Team Modern Super League

The Team Modern Super League fun continues tonight. We're deep into the season now, and every match is a nail-biter. Even if you've missed every single episode thus far, that's okay! You don't need a "previously on…" recap to enjoy a high-quality Magic game, and besides, every episode is archived on our YouTube page so you can catch up whenever you want.

TMSL airs Tuesdays (like this one!) at 5 p.m. on twitch.tv/magic. Learn more about Team Modern Super League here, or check out the video below.
