Everyone here at the Casual Planeswalker is eagerly anticipating our trip to Denver’s Pre-Release for New Phyrexia, hosted by Front Range Magic. While there’s a lot to look forward to in the new set, including the Praetors, a whole menagerie of new Living Weapons, and more Infect than you can shake a Staff of the Ages

While those first five planeswalkers were reused in multiple sets, it seems their time is over. The release of M12 is…
Do you, like myself, wish for the day when you could slap a Glimpse the Unthinkable Glimpse the Unthinkable down on the table and watch your opponent wince slightly at the thought of having to throw 10 cards straight into the graveyard? I longed for those days until I saw this new little diddy that…
