DougY
Optimizing a Pile Last time on Making the Cut, we looked at an initial dump of cards for a Lazav, the Multifarious +1/+1 counter deck featuring as many cheap creatures as possible, and then did an initial cut based on the archetypes we knew the deck was going to need in the final version.

I can't remember a set I was more excited for than this, as it has so much to offer for everyone. For Commander players, there are 42 new legendary creatures to build around!
