Reason #2,099: The Sengir family

I’m just gonna go out on a limb here…oh gosh, that was entirely unintentional. Really. Let’s try again. I’m just gonna make a guess, but that fellow looks pretty healthy, so he’s probably not being prepped for surgery. Aaaaaaand I’m also gonna guess that the fellow wearing the skull isn’t a tattoo artist. Aaaaaand the …

Reason #9,713: Not even planeswalkers are immune to waterfalls

Also, this Vraska character sounds like a real nice character. Although maybe she’s turned over a new leaf here or something? Still. Anyway. Vraska: “Uh, oh.” Jace: “Don’t tell me.

War generally has a highly negative impact on property values. It also has a highly positive impact on mortality rates. Move to Ravnica. Lose …
