With Core Set 2021 launched into Standard, David takes a look back at Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths and gives us a few key cards to consider in Commander.
Unbannings always trigger a surge of interest, articles, and brewing. When the card’s utility and thus its home is obvious, the cards is quickly adopted, as was the case for Bloodbraid Elf.
