Welcome one and all to Kaldheim! Spellbinding Sagas, capricious changelings, and boastful Berserkers abound. Plus snow. Heaps of the frigid stuff. Thankfully we’ve already done the work of trudging through the set to find cards to watch for, so you’re free to enjoy this guide in warmth and comfort instead. Kaldheim has only one triggered ability that upgrades when missed, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to talk about. Several cards are near-misses on the upgrade path or have remedies

Zendikar Rising Missed Triggers Guide
It’s time to explore Zendikar once more! The Eldrazi have finally vacated the plane, and now the Skyclaves have taken flight, promising new adventures, traps, monsters… And some very interesting mechanics. As we saw in the Throne of Eldraine, the main draws of this set - modular double-faced cards - take up a lot of the complexity. But the low complexity of Landfall, Kicker, and Party mean there’s a bit more room this time around for more challenging cards. We’ve picked out the triggers
Core 2021 Missed Triggers Guide
The time has come once again to dive into a new set with the Missed Triggers guide! Core Set 2021 brings us plenty of new (and a few very old) cards and mechanics to play with. They’re uncomplicated for the most part, which is a welcome break from the complexity we’ve seen in some recent sets. In fact, only two cards have generally detrimental triggers this time around! Besides those two we’ve included some notes on other cards that might cause confusion, but shouldn’t ever lead to Missed
Ikoria Missed Triggers Guide
We’re back again with a new set! This time around, Ikoria brings us beasties of all shapes and sizes (sometimes several at once), but as far as triggered abilities go this set is surprisingly tame. Monsters tend towards straightforward approaches like eating you or stepping on you and their cards seem to reflect that. Still, best to keep a sharp eye out - on Ikoria and handling the cards below. Sometimes “to the point” just means the nuance isn’t as noticeable. And that brings us to our
Theros: Beyond Death Missed Triggers Guide
With holiday revelry come and gone, it's beyond time for us to get things back on track with a new set. And after digging into the full set it looks like we've got our work cut out for us - no wonder Klothys had to recruit help to put things back together. Our return to Theros is one of the most complicated Standard sets in years! We're dealing with not only the tricky fine details of Escape and Sagas, but a total of fourteen generally detrimental triggers - as many as Modern Horizons! We'll get
Throne of Eldraine Missed Triggers Guide
Welcome all, players and judges, to Eldraine! Magic has always been about telling a story, so it should be no surprise at all to finally find ourselves in a storybook set. With cards crafted to evoke Arthurian legend or European folklore and only so much space in the title, type line, and rules text at their disposal, there's quite a lot of wordy effects for us to get through. Thankfully, the Adventure mechanic eats a lot of the technical complexity of the set; and with those out of the way, we're
Core 2020: Missed Triggers Guide
Edited 19 July, 2019 It’s that time again: time for a brand new set from Wizards, Core Set 2020! After the whirlwind of rules phenomena we found in Modern Horizons and War of the Spark, this set is a return to fundamentals. With a few surprises, of course; Protection tentatively returning is an exciting twist! And as always, what we're here for: triggers. Some straight-forward, and some a bit more complicated, that fall on one side or the other of the upgrade to Warning. Here is everything you
