Modern Horizons Preview Card - Kess, Mispronounced Mage May 27, 2019

Show notes

We've got an exclusive preview card and it's a very exciting mythic reprint (and Alex's favorite card ever!) We break down the strategies which are hungry for this card, as well as explore some exciting new deck possibilities that this easy-to-mispronounce card enables!

Kess, Dissident Mage 1UBR

Legendary Creature - Human Wizard

FlyingDuring each of your turns, you may cast an instant or sorcery card from your graveyard. If a card cast this way would be put into your graveyard, exile it instead.“Loss has no meaning here. You cannot take from those who have nothing.”
