A Dynasty of Neon Spoilers, Vol. 1

It's time to head back to Kamigawa in the latest set... our Neon Destiny. I mean Density. I mean Dynasty. We take a look at cards from the first batch of spoilers we think are good in Modern, Historic, Pioneer, or just plain good! Before that, we break down the ManaTraders January Pioneer tournament.

Intro: Green Socks Filled With Money
The Break Down: Closing the Book on Pioneer
