This week we discuss the secret of mana. No, I don't mean the 1993 SNES classic. I mean, how mana has changed in modern magic. We discuss all of the playable mana doublers that have defined standard and some older formats. We come to the idea of calling this new archetype the snowball. We go into how you battle this archetype and what you need to do. We then get into why these cards are getting made.....commander. Finally, we get back to thinking about the newest mana doubler, Jorn.
