August 16, 2023 Unpacking - Primivir
In Unpacking, we go through the cards in a pack without knowing anything beyond that pack. Through this lens, we try to guess themes, mechanics, flavor, and more!

This time we're looking at Primivir and starting with a single mysterious image of an angular, abstract city scape. The set is by Myrmiredon.
