Read moreRakdos, Lord of Riots is the Demon-King of the Ravnican guild of the same name. He is a violent megalomaniac hellbent (epic reference to Ravnica: City of Guilds, Jeff, great job) on the hedonistic existence of the never-ending party.
Read moreFor me, the best part about a new Magic set debuting is perusing the legendary creatures to get Commander deck ideas. Murders at Karlov Manoroffers many new commander creatures to explore and build decks around.
