If you’re an avid Draftsim reader then you’ve probably come across lots of important lessons that I and our other writers have learned through the several years we’ve played this game. If you haven’t figured it out already, today’s topic involves...
Read moreElesh Norn, Mother of Machines is one of the most talked about cards from the new set for commander potential. It’s a wildly powerful card with massive stats for a 5-mana creature. It pulls double duty as a value engine that doubles your ETB...
Read morePlagued by a low desirability and over-production, Fallen Empires could be considered a failure of a set. But it introduced some staple mechanics and concepts to Magic players, setting the scene for design space still to come.
