Thanks to all the folks out there for bearing with us while we got this behemoth of a Quick Hits out for y’all. White Omniczech – I know we JUST cut something loosely in this same shape, but I like that this has evasion, as my main complaint with this style of creature has been…

RVR/MKM Quick Hits

Posted on February 16, 2024February 18, 2024 by omniczech

White Neveron: There are plenty of “one mana creature that gets bigger with set mechanic” cards in white. , , , . Boros Elite is one of the easiest to turn on, though, and relatively trivial to swing with as a 3/3 on turn 3. Perhaps even turn two, with . It’s good, basically… and…
