The 'white gods' myth was likely invented by later generations due to various social and political pressures. We're […]

Vampirates of the Caribbean According to our charts, we'll reach the shores of Ixalan on the 29th of this month. Before we reach our [card]Voyage's End[/card], let us take stock of our crew, and of the bloodthirsty beasts we may encounter upon this [card]Treacherous Terrain[/card]. It's time we explore the black cards of Ixalan to deduce […]
