Pointing to the pentagon formed by the five mana symbols on a random card back, he said black was an enemy to green. You could only build a two-color deck using adjacent colors. For green, its allies are red and white. There wasnβt a simple term I could use to describe the green-white elves and angels deck that I went on to make, but all that changed a few years later.

It’s fascinating to see how Ravnica has shaped the Magic: The Gathering landscape over the past two decades. The connection to the mana symbols adds an interesting layer to the gameβs lore. Excited to see where the future takes us!
