Hello everyone and welcome to another episode or Rival’s Duel. Eric and Nole are back to trying to build a deck, this time with King Macar, the Gold Cursed. Vehicles from Kaladesh breathed some fresh life into the commander and now they have come together to see what they can come up with. Do you like their builds? Which version do you think is better?
