Meet the writers behind BaseMTG: deck builders, set analysts, and market watchers covering Magic: The Gathering.
Reid Marsh
Commander & Budget Desk
Pen name for the BaseMTG Commander desk: budget builds, precons, upgrades and deck-building. Lists are priced from Scryfall on the publish date and every card pick comes with a reason.
Jonah Reyes
Standard & Metagame Desk
Pen name for the BaseMTG Standard desk: deck guides, metagame reports and tournament results. Each piece starts from published tournament lists and dated metagame data, with a sources table behind every number.
Mara Lindqvist
Spoilers & New Sets Desk
Pen name for the BaseMTG new-sets desk: spoiler season, set reviews, Universes Beyond crossovers and rules news. Cards are read from the official text, and what is confirmed is kept apart from our own reading of it.
Priya Nakamura
Card Prices & Collecting Desk
Pen name for the BaseMTG card-market desk: price moves, reprint risk, Secret Lair drops and collecting. Prices are given as dated ranges from TCGplayer and Scryfall, and every call says what would change it.
