Kraken Opus is an independent site covering Magic: The Gathering, tabletop games, and the parts of pop culture we actually spend time on. Our focus is practical: clear explainers, useful buying guidance, and honest comparisons—written for people who want the “what’s the point?” answer without the fluff.
Who runs this
Editor: Kit Yarrow
What we publish
- Guides & explainers (rules, formats, deck concepts, “what is this thing and why do people care?”)
- Reviews & comparisons (with clear criteria and disclosure when there’s any financial angle)
- Opinion pieces (labeled as opinion)
- Occasional humor/satire (labeled clearly so it’s not mistaken for reporting)
Editorial independence
Kraken Opus is built around trust and clarity:
- If we can’t verify something, we say so.
- If a post is sponsored or paid, it’s labeled.
- If there’s a conflict of interest (ownership, partnerships, affiliates), we disclose it.
Disclosures & how we make money
Kraken Opus may earn revenue through affiliate links, advertising, or sponsorships. When that applies, we disclose it either on the page itself or through our sitewide disclosure policy.
