I’ve resisted getting into MTG for so long and then right after Turtlemania this happens!

The turtle bros can take on almost anything but fights are easier with help from a friend. #MTGxTMNT

This image depicts the card "April O'Neil, Hacktivist". Three mana, one blue. Legendary Creature - Human Scientist. Rare Rarity.

Card art: This illustration shows a black woman with full natural shoulder length hair. The woman is surrounded by glowing screens and has her hands poised to type on a laptop as she looks over her shoulder past the viewer. In a shadow along the wall is a silhouette of a person having opened a door to find this scene happening.

Rules text: At the beginning of your end step, draw a card for each card type among spells you've cast this turn. Power one/toughness five

This image depicts the card "Casey Jones, Jury-Rig Justicar". One mana, one red. Legendary Creature - Human Berserker. Uncommon Rarity.

Card art: This illustration shows a man wearing dark jeans, a leather jacket and a full face hockey mask swinging a hockey stick with deadly force in a fight against the group of ninjas surrounding him. One of his opponent ninjas is knocked out a window, flying into the night sky to a city below.

Rules text: Haste.
When Casey Jones enters, look at the top four cards of your library. You may reveal an artifact card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest ont he bottom of your library in a random order. Power two/toughness one.

This image depicts a full art illustration of a humanoid rat. He sits peacefully with his legs crossed on a mat, eyes closed and inhaling the wafting scent from the tea cup he holds in his hands. Around him, remains of robots who dared attempt to interrupt the master's quiet time.
Along the bottom of the image reads: "Splinter, Hamato Yoshi" art by April Prime

Can never go wrong with pastina, get a tiny pasta shape of your choice, cook in a broth or stock (chicken or veggie), and then add butter, a bunch of Parmesan, and some black pepper. We affectionately call it “mush” in my house, but it’s better known as the Italian penicillin!
