New pin for a bit!

Hey all, I'm Paige, aka TheMaverickGirl!

I've been writing a TON of lore articles for #MTGxFinalFantasy and I'm compiling them all here in this thread.

Check them out if you want to learn more about these awesome games!

Hoping the TMNT set has a couple references to the classic video games along the way.

Personally, I've been hearing them referred to this way as long as I can remember - at least 15 years since I got more deeply invested in the game.

Karoo has become a generic term for lands that tap for two mana and make you bounce a land when you play them.

The Ravnica bounce lands, for example, are commonly referred to as karoos, as is Guildless Commons and Arid Archway.

It's extremely good, very Hitchcock but in a more cerebral way.

My current-day career effectively got kickstarted thanks to social media.

That's to say nothing of all the amazing friends, travel, and experiences it's brought along with it.

A few weeks ago I got glazed by The Mike Flores because he convinced me to come out to play pauper, and I went undefeated with a broken deck:

Kaervek's Torch? I feel like I've heard this one before but am not certain on it.

Going with Foratog here. Could easily be fine as not an Atog, but is similar enough to be an easy conversion.

It's perfectly fine to speak up for those whose voices are being silenced by those who don't care about them existing.

And they were moving strongly at that price too for a bit. Even when the price cooled a bit they were still hanging around 600-700.
