The New Land Page

Lands are the best part of Magic. Sure the other cards allow you to “do things” but the foundation is the land.

Sure this was MAYBE spurred by some insider trading allegations (i.e., I read the episode of the Duelist and my friends hadn’t) but I got em! One of each! They are now known as Lil Chandra’s college fund!

Ahhhh, so elegant. But then I got a new trade binder that is a bifold and now has a 4×3 layout! Must… reorganize… cards!

But I come not to bury Caesar, but rather celebrate an additional piece to the puzzle. Rebecca Guay basic land art!
