Strictly Eternal 101 – Surgically Speaking

Howdy folks! It’s Joe here again and it’s time for another edition of Jace’s Anatomy!  Or rather a good old fashioned Legacy rant time. We haven’t had one of these in a while, so let’s get right into the thick of it.  This week we’re gonna be talking all about everyone’s favorite graveyard hate/combo hate card, ! SURGICAL.  IS.  A.  CRUTCH. Let’s get that right out of the way.  Like every card in this game, Surgical Extraction has its complexity in regards to how one should be playing it.  Surgical is probably one of the most heavily misplayed cards of

Strictly Eternal 101 – It’s Always (Blood) Sunny in Philadelphia

Howdy folks, we’re back again with another edition of The Danny Devito Story: A Biography in Pictures!  Or rather, some spicy Legacy. This week, we dispel a little bit of hype.  Or at least, I hope we do.  Y’see, the hype around the card is just a little too much.  So much so that since Rivals of Ixalan’s release, the card has dipped hard below its initial hyped price of $10+.
