At first glance, this episode’s deck with 99 lands plus Lumra as the commander might seem like a joke but as we explored the nooks and crannies with our guest, EnkiBye from France, this turned out to be a bear of a deck. We also talk 4-person cube, sharpie alters, and making do with limited options.
