  • Does Land Really Matter?
    5,649
    While there's been lots of discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of Zendikar in general, relatively little attention has been paid to the cycle of Common Nonbasic Lands. So join me as I explore whether the theme of Zendikar, "Land Matters," holds true for the upcoming season of Standard Pauper. And, as a bonus, I'll also evaluate the other Nonbasic Lands at your disposal and speculate on their place post-Zendikar.
