For the most part, this set presents a lot of the same: Pokmon- EX that maintain most of the power, ineffective rare cards, and only one Special Energy this time around (and a fairly boring one at that)
Remember that at this time, my team and I (myself, Mike Elliott, Brian Tinsman and Tyler Bielman) were working on the design for Mirrodin
He also allows you to draw an extra card during your turn by sacrificing one of your undead minions
Select the Hourglasses and choose how many tokens you want to exchange
Personally, Id pair this Dimir commander with enchantments to boost their power like Curious Obsession or equipment like Sword of Feast and Famine to mill more cards and get better value out of it
Only some of the cards were available as promotional releases
