So, as a magic player myself, my group and I talk a lot about getting more people into Magic and inviting them to join us. We get excited about a new set,…
So, if you’re in the discord, you might have already heard about the fact that I’m rolling out a couple of updates to the site. It’s nothing major yet, but I hit a few technical snags that required me to restructure some of the theming on the pages. For those of you who are less…
Hey all! 👋 So, apologies if I haven’t been as vocal as I would like to be. Truthfully, being the center of attention is somewhat draining for me, so even when I have new videos/topics to post about, it’s often a little hard for me to get over the anxiety of it all (I am…
So, I’m a little late to the party, but I wanted to at least talk about the latest set in Magic—just in case you somehow haven’t heard about it yet. The set is Secrets of Strixhaven, and it’s a return to the plane of Arcavios—a magic university run by elder dragons, split into five schools…
It’s prerelease weekend for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Magic: The Gathering… and yeah, that sentence still feels surreal to type. Universes Beyond continues to expand — and at this point, it’s starting to feel like a bit of alphabet soup. IP after IP after IP are releasing on a pretty regular schedule. It’s very…

The Birth of Idle Handz: A Passion Project Idle Handz emerged from a deep-seated passion for community building through shared interests, particularly within the realm of games like Magic: The Gathering. The founders recognized that there was a growing desire among players and enthusiasts to connect with like-minded individuals who shared similar cultural values and…
Yo! So I just got back from the Edge of Eternities prerelease, and honestly — it was way more fun than I expected. One big takeaway? Spacecrafts. They’re a blast to play with, but they can get tricky if your deck isn’t built around creatures. You really need enough power on the board to…
My First Magic Con Experience – And Why You Should Go Last weekend, I finally crossed something off my geek bucket list: my first Magic Con. If you’ve been following Idle Handz, you know this was the kickoff for our first real chapter here — and honestly, it couldn’t have been a better place…
