In the run-up my friend Niko White also wrote an article discussing …
Welcome back to Magic Gatherings! The latest Magic set, Shadows over Innistrad, officially released last week, so it’s time to talk limited. This week I’ll discuss the set’s major mechanics and themes, with an eye toward general principles for drafting it.
