Daily Dose of Strixhaven #13 – Playing with Spirits
Welcome all to the Daily Dose of Strixhaven. Today I’ll be focusing on the new 3/2 creature tokens created by Lorehold college: Spirits. Lorehold is the Red and White college from Strixhaven and cards from all over the set can produce 3/2 Red and White creature Spirit tokens.

Daily Dose of Strixhaven #12 – Learning Some More About Strixhaven
Welcome to the Daily Dose of Strixhaven. Today I’ll be talking about a few more cards with the new Learn mechanic. I’ve talked a little bit about the Learn mechanic before, but since then they’ve revealed some powerful cards that also allow you to Learn. Whenever I look at a new card, I always look for the value in that it removes something, is more powerful than anything else on the...

Daily Dose of Strixhaven #10 – It’s Time to Join Witherbloom and Stop Being a Pest
Welcome all to the Daily Dose of Strixhaven. Today I’m going to be focusing on the Golgari College of Witherbloom and some pesky Pests. That’s right, I have three new Witherbloom cards ready to cause you to decay in fear from its gruesomeness thanks to Pests.

Daily Dose of Strixhaven #11 – Mastery Rare Cycle – Which do you choose?
Welcome all to the Daily Dose of Strixhaven. Today I’ll be talking about an interesting cycle of rares from Strixhaven that allow you to cast them for a cheaper mana cost but at a price. Over the time of Magic, we've seen cards that provide alternative mana costs, whether it be with mechanics like Kicker, Entwine, or Buyback. Some of those alternate mana costs change the power of the spell. The...

Daily Dose of Strixhaven #9 – Jamming up the 3-drop creature slot for White decks
Welcome all to the Daily Dose of Strixhaven. Today I’m going to be talking about three new cards from Strixhaven that just happen to be all White, all creatures (mostly), and all cost three mana. Despite all the similarities I just mentioned, that is where their commonality ends. They're all quite different cards including a creature with a zero-mana activated ability and two Modal DFCs. To...

Daily Dose of Strixhaven #8 – Time to count to 60 with Fractals
Welcome all to the Daily Dose of Strixhaven. Today I’ll be talking to you about the College of Quandrix which is all about math, which just happens to have been my favourite subject growing up. When I saw the descriptions of the five Colleges from Strixhaven, Quandrix immediately stood out to me as the one that I’ll be building decks around during prerelease. In Strixhaven there's a special...

Daily Dose of Strixhaven #7 – Multiple Choice Question about playing Colourless spells
Welcome all to the Daily Dose of Strixhaven. Today I’ll be talking about a rare occurrence in magic, Colourless spells. Colourless spells are a non-artifact way of having spells that all decks can cast regardless of their colour combination. With all the two-colour Colleges running around Strixhaven, it’s nice to have some spells we know can be fit in any deck. We don’t often see Colourless...
