Hello, and welcome to this week’s set review for the financial mind! We are looking at Lorwyn, a semi-recent set full of tribal alliances and intrigue. Lorwyn was the debut for Planeswalkers; the paragons of the marketing department made their first appearance here. This is where Jace and Ajani earned “Brands with Other Planeswalkers” and […]

Hello everyone! First off, I’d like to apologize for lack of new articles since school and job hunting has been taking over my life. So, where the heck are we in the standard environment?
