We’ve got three cards to design this week! We pick back up with rexxer3 on their “Year of Mechanics” project, which has official stretched past a whole year due to how many mechanics Magic has! One card per mechanic, and this month there is a special twist. Each mechanic is paired with one of our Moxtober themes! How do we pair “Omen” with “Thane”?
