Remember to hit reload every day or else the new card may not load!

Not all of the old Card of the Day files are working right now. All of the old files should be running within one month. About 70-85% are working now. Sorry for the delays getting new cards done too. Things are getting back to normal rather well.

In this web page, I hope to present to you strategies, combos, and obscure uses for a new Magic: The Gathering card every single day.

Portent is a subtle and versatile card. Just looking at the next three draws for an opponent can swing the game in your favor. Example: "I would love to pile enchantments on my Farrel's Zealot, but I don't want to have the zealot Terrored or Swords to Plowshared away..if I only knew what my opponent was going to draw..."

Portent is also a good way to almost always negate the effect of all of those Mirage tutor cards--play Portent right after your opponent plays Worldy Tutor to put a Force of Nature on top of their library. Just use the shuffle ability to send the unwanted card as far away from the top of their library as you can. I feel Portent doesn't require combos, but there are some cards that do work well with it:
