You got some D&D in my Magic: The Gathering.

Interstitial fodder: 

• The Boys is back and still incredibly good (Adam thinks it’s “meh”)
• Mario 35 Nintendo Direct
• Secret Lair Yargle
• Comixology is giving away 200+ Black Panther comics in honor of Chadwick Boseman’s passing.

Strategy

New modal double-faced cards in Zendikar Rising

From the mothership:

“Like previous double-faced cards, modal double-faced cards have two card faces, one on each side of the card. But these cards don’t transform. When you play a modal double-faced card, you choose which face you’re playing. Short on mana? Play Valakut Stoneforge. Good on mana but need more action? Cast Valakut Awakening. It’s up to you.

 

…While a modal double-faced card is in your hand, your graveyard, or exile, it has the characteristics of its front face only. So, if you’re searching your library for a land card, you can’t find a modal double-faced card whose front face isn’t a land card. If an effect allows you to cast instant spells from your graveyard, you could cast Valakut Awakening, but you couldn’t play Valakut Stoneforge.”
