Before I go any further I want to give you a heads up: here there be spoilers for Zendikar Rising. If you don’t want to learn any cards in the set ahead of time, just click out of this page and you’ll be none the wiser. Is the coast clear? Good. It’s not a secretContinue reading “Center Stage: Cleansing Wildfire”

Center Stage: Last Rites
Let’s talk about decision making. Last Rites is a three drop discard spell that can absolutely destroy your opponent’s hand. The rub is that you need to to the same.
