Arena Open is just around the corner and Khans of Tarkir are on a completely different power level than any set in the recent years. Hear our thoughts on how to adjust to the blast from the past! Picking lands highly, having two or less 2drop creatures is something that would lead to VERY bad results in the newer sets. But not this one.
