I’m not sure what it is about the plane of Innistrad that keeps producing such historically cool draft environments. Is it the design teams at WotC working to live up to the staggering heights of the original Innistrad format? Or are the plane’s mechanical themes of graveyard value and tribal synergies simply a recipe for good Limited gameplay? I’m sure …
The past weekend was a highlight for Magic’s 2021 calendar, as thousands of exuberant players descended on Las Vegas for the “Magic: The Gathering: Las Vegas” event. The event, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, was the first in-person “Gathering” for our community in over a year, and there was plenty of hype to be lived up to for …
