Design League contestants Juliet and MonoWhiteBorder take over the pod and talk through how they came up with their cards.

The challenges for reference:

Card A: Submit a non-white, mono-colored card with the Ancestor mechanic to represent The New Age. (We will be using the Ancestor mechanic as written in Courageous Commander.)

Cards B and C: (One of the following cards must include a returning mechanic from retail Magic.)

Submit a card to represent an "Old Believer" that has a multicolored identity without sharing a color with your Card A design.

Submit a card to represent the Gods return and attack on New Age Gandgoma. This should use a different card type than your Card B design.

Design Collab episodes always lead to interesting places and this one is no different!

We've got just one pack to learn as much as we can about Dragons of Tarkir. What will it tell us? Is this secretly Muraganda? Are X/1s the name of the game? Is this set Silumgar vs Atarka? Are there even dragons here???

What could you learn from just a pack? This week we put aside anything we know about AVR and look at what one pack tells us. What are the themes and what does the gameplay look like?
