By popular demand, Andy and Anthony rush back into their series exploring modal mechanics through Magic’s history. Continuing where they left off, they talk about mechanics from Return to Ravnica to Fate Reforged. They argue over some mechanics fit a useful definition of “modal” and what the mechanics, and individual modal cards, offer to Cube designers.
