The Finisher
This weekend the world watched the wedding of Prince Harry and Princess Meghan with pomp, circumstance, and British tax payer dollars live on television and across social media. And with Battlebond coming out celebrating more high-powered pairings in the near future, I thought it might be nice to ask: what’s the next power couple you’d like to see from Magic: The Gathering?
