Carnival Row: Several Genres In One Suit Carnival Row is a show that’s clearly got an audience in mind. It wears a very specific set of genres on its sleeve and takes heavy influence from them, making it, like some of its characters, a half-breed, an amalgam of niche fantasy tropes that, lucky for it, do…
Hazbin Hotel Is Worth The Year of Hype From just the original song “Inside of every Demon is a Rainbow,” Hazbin Hotel had so much promise. It was made by a small team, posted online, but with gorgeous animation, stellar voice work, and an aesthetic that is both detailed and imaginative—which all meant I was…
While I may have procrastinated this Magic meta report until the very last minute of October, with the recent ban of Field of the Dead, the meta shifted right at the end of the month anyway, so it was rather fortuitous. Golos decks in every color combination dominated the meta and could not be stopped…

Over The Garden Wall Wears Influences If the people initially responsible for Over the Garden Wall weren’t heavily inspired by Alice in Wonderland, then I’d be shocked. Much like Coraline, this is a story that follows such a similar world and structure to it that I can’t help but see the parallels. The simple traveling to…
The Dark Crystal: A Unique New World The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is a triumph of alternative presentation. The puppetry and practical effects are so intrinsic to the show that it’s impossible to not notice it every second of watching. I cannot imagine the work it took to create not only the various characters…
The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza Fails To Armaggedon For a book supposedly about the end of the world, The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza doesn’t seem to want to focus very much on the actual end of the world. It seems content to deal with mundane moments of growing up and overcoming problems, and while that’s…
Demon Slayer Is Perfect For Its Genre It’s an excellent sign of an anime’s quality that not only did I end up watching four episodes instead of three to review Demon Slayer, but actively want to see the rest of it. Say what you will of Shonen anime, there’s a reason it’s still so popular…
Some more cards are yet to be released, but as of the 19th, I thought I’d explore some of the more impressive and likely to be influential cards from Throne of Eldraine for Standard (and Commander/Brawl). Now, obviously, I’m not a pro-player, so take this with salt, but I’ve been around the block enough that…
Though it feels too quick to have come already, we are in Spoiler Season 2019 for Throne of Eldraine, and I wanted to give a few first impressions about how it’s going since the new Brawl update dropped. Impression Number One: Adventure Is A Sweet But Problematic Mechanic When I first saw it, I thought…
