Rowan, Scion of War, leverages life payment to cast discounted spells and aims to build a powerful board presence quickly.

Description

Welcome to Good Morning Ravnica, the show where we brew coffee and play commander! Today we’re brewing an Espresso Sunrise using the Flair Pro 2. GMR serves the role of being Perfect Seven’s premiere show focused on highlighting different coffees and commander gameplay. What is Perfect Seven? Well, It’s a cut you do right after you cut a deck in half. You grab the top seven and put it right at the bottom! Other than that, it’s a friend group that has recently been playing Magic with some players having more experience than others. There may be some misplays and missed triggers, but we want to capture the authentic gameplay from our sessions and hope you enjoy the fun that comes with our group.

A new bout for glory as Danny, Alexis, Reytromancer, and Lowki duke it out to see who will earn glory’s title.

Expect some fun shenanigan’s as zombies, legendary permanents, eldrazi, and masochists? hit the battlefield!
