There's almost no way they put Learn in this set with the Avatar lessons around unless the Learn cards are really bad. We've seen a lot of cards already with no Learn.

I think you're right. The words "sent" and "graveyard" have never appeared on a card together. It would specify how they were sent to the graveyard like "put into your graveyard from anywhere" or something.

Got a timestamp? Don't love podcasts.

Anyone here draft much BLB or ECL? What went right or wrong for tribal kindred from the drafting perspective? I've drafted neither, but heard complaints that ECL was too on rails. A lot of you probably know that Onslaught is my third favorite thing in this game (behind Timmy bombs and...

I think that's a really cold take? GTM already referred to it as adding 6 lands to the deck.
