A Plague of Locusts Upon Your House Hour of Devastation is almost upon us, and there are some awesome preview cards on the horizon. We've seen Theros gods and Amonkhet gods before, but we've never seen plague gods. Scorpions and scarabs are terrifying, but the one that frightens me most is The Locust God.

Patrick Sippola here, reporting from front lines of the jank wars, bringing you what can only be described as combos.

Patrick Sippola

Some things stand alone. French fries, for example. The phrase "with a side of fries" is a tragedy and shouldn't exist. I'll take fries a la cart any day, giving much thanks for such a bounty. But...have you ever had fries with a milkshake? Now, hold on, because you read that wrong. You see, what […]
