We did it, we found an actual theme for my article series. People seemed to dig the idea of the “Better Version.dec” from last time (Teneb instead of Karador) so, the EDH Benchwarmers series is born.

With each new set we must begin again the process of evaluating the new cards. This can either take some time if the card is very complex or be quick if it's extremely straightforward; was the later. This card was easy to evaluate, or so I thought. It’s insanely powerful. It does bonkers things. After […]
