Magic’s next in-universe set is Secrets of Strixhaven, which releases in April. This got me thinking about our first trip to Arcavios in Strixhaven: School of Mages.

If you want to draft Strixhaven, get ready to go back to school. This new set doesn’t concern itself with enabling a “vanilla” Magic experience — instead, it feels like drafting someone’s highly specialized Cube. Unprecedented mechanics like learn, an unusual set makeup, and a swathe of high-impact bombs from both the set proper and the Mystical Archive cards all …
