Vampires have a lot of classic weaknesses. Sunlight. Garlic. Stakes. They are certainly dangerous monsters, but you can defeat them if you have the right tools.
But you better make sure you have those tools.
Redacted is an audio fiction podcast that takes a very well-worn concept and adds just enough twists on the formula to make it interesting again.
Pluribus is a fascinating science fiction show with one of the most intriguing premises I’ve seen in years. For those that love the genre’s propensity for posing interesting, mind-expanding questions, this is it.
Ladies, gentlemen, nonbinary people, it’s time to introduce “The Loophole Man.”
He’s a man with a special power. A man you don’t want to meet. His origins are shrouded in mystery, but you can likely guess what kind of man he once was.
Hello, and welcome to the massive—and final—Avatar: The Last Airbender card review. We’ll be finishing up the list today by going over so many of the multicolor cards, and a few other standouts. If you haven’t already, go back and find our lists for white and blue, red and black, and green to see what other cards are my picks for the best in the set. If you have read all of those already, well, thank you! I hope you agree with my final picks.
The amount of good Avatar: The Last Airbender cards left me in a little bit of a bind. I wasn’t sure how to arrange the lists so that they would feel like each article covered a good amount of cards. But the multicolor list turned out to be huge—so huge that combining green with it would be too big an article.
Thankfully, a solution presented itself. That solution being the green cards themselves.

It’s always fun for me when I review a set, partially because, over time, I start to see intended interactions. How, at least in a closed environment, these cards are supposed to function. And the Avatar: The Last Airbender set is a great lesson in how deep and complex that process can be. Though there are too many variables with the standard card pool included to be sure, I’m already thinking of decks and combos that might show up in competitive play.
Avatar: The Last Airbender (the Magic: The Gathering set) is a powerhouse, a game changer, and a strangely designed set. Lots of little choices made I find extremely odd. The four bending styles are all represented through unique abilities, but they seem incredibly unbalanced. Airbending is brutal, disruptive, and multifaceted. While firebending is often terrible, and waterbending feels very under considered. Of the four, only earthbending really captures my imagination.
We’ve been leading up to this one. First, a tale of bats. Then an evil pumpkin. Then strange holiday magic. And now for the big one. The biggest one. The one Brandon Scott and I have been planning for a while.
Depending on how cheesy you like your movies, Fear Street: Prom Queen is only good in one aspect. If you, however, enjoy momentous cheese, then please, by all means, ignore this article, and perhaps bring a stack of crackers with you.
Thunderbolts* (or, The New Avengers) is what you remember Marvel movies and shows being, back when it was a pretty sure thing that any given movie was going to be good, if not excellent. Somehow, the rhythms and plot progression that have now become standard work here. The comedy is funny. The action scenes are cool. The collection of very barebones characters doesn’t make the story flat or uninteresting.
