I built Rakdos crimes and outlaws, and while I am dreadful at Sealed, I did end up winning the games I played whenever Gisa got out. S ..read more

Many years before the advent of Commander, or even its predecessor Elder Dragon Highlander (EDH), I had a multiplayer Magic deck I called “Green Red White Legends”. It was basically just a “good stuff” deck, but it featured all of my favorite green, red, and white legends from Legends.

Deserts It wouldn’t be the Wild West without Deserts, and while Deserts aren’t a land type that will matter in most Cubes, there are some Cubes that require players to draft every land that ..read more
