Rob starts the week with a Commander card as his feature!

How hard could it be to mill 42 cards?

David Schumann reviews Khans of Tarkir for potential diamonds in the rough for Legacy. Eschewing the obvious contenders, he considers some fringe cards that may make an impact nonetheless.

Carlos continues the theme of expanding on other people’s Commander decks, this time bringing us some flashback action with Dralnu, Lich Lord.

We finish up a tour of the plane of Kamigawa this week with Saviors. The set’s mechanics focused on “wisdom,” as measured by the amount of cards in your hand versus another player’s hand. In theory, this sounds pretty cool; however, in practice, it meant that a player had to keep in mind both hand sizes at all times. The mechanic was unfortunate in that it rewarded players for holding onto their creatures and spells instead of playing them out. What could have been an interesting source of in-game tension wasn’t developed well enough to make it worthwhile to play with the wisdom cards. Although it was a small, poorly-received third set, Saviors has a good selection of money cards for traders to profit from.

Fire up your Magic card finder off choice. Look up Reap and Deathlace. Whether you’re intrigued or terrified, you need to see what Carlos has cooked up for a Commander deck!
