Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast! We’re your weekly source Community, Strategy, and Technology! This week Mark and Adam go over Modern Masters 2017 and tricks cards! Don’t know what a trick card is? Well it’s a card that does something you normally wouldn’t see a card of its type do! Some do things in a color that normally that color doesn’t do, some have a alternate way of being cast, and some are just… weird! If that sounds like something that tickles your fancy, Click the Ib!
