Another week has come and gone, and what a week it was! Commander 2017 Previews were all the rage this week as people discussed the new cards that will be gracing the Commander format when the decks release on August 25th. Until then, we still have our normal slew of excellent content for you to enjoy. Let’s dig in to another Gathering Magic Week in Review!
News and Announcements
Gathering Magic had its very own preview card for the week, so it was unfortunate when a hobby game site posted an image of the Wizards deck on their site, our preview card emblazoned on the front of the package a day before we were going to release it… I may be a little bitter about it still. Either way, we were happy to show off Inalla, Archmage Ritualist.
Our very own Abe Sargent had the honors of a first crack at Inalla, so take a look at what ideas he came up with!
