Dominaria's Judgment

Despite the Saturday Modern Challenge literally not existing this week, there was a lot of Magic to talk about - including the Magic Online Championship Series, the highlight of the Magic Online calendar.

It's been a whole year since Modern Horizons 2 hit the format and changed it forever. It can be tough to remember a time before Solitude and Ragavan and everything else but today we try to do just that - including some takes from the MH2 preview season that aged well and some that aged not so well...
