Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 431! In the fantasy world building of Magic, there are a ton of iconic creatures. Yet for every major type like Dragons there’s a lower subclass of creatures. This week Mark and Adam are talking about about one of those sub class style creatures, Drakes! But first the guys are going to have a quick look at some of the new old frame cards from Time  Spiral. Then they’re wrapping things up with by taking a walk in The Dark and talking about how cards are better when they’re from The Dark.

All that, plus our usual interstitial fodder, and all you have to do is Click the IB!!!
