On this episode of Control Room, Ryan and I return to 2007/2008 to talk about the Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block. Featuring tons of tribal support for Faeries, Goblins, Kithkin, and other tribes, the block has been forgotten by a lot of players. Ryan explains how his own playing experience was shaped in part by these sets, and we explore the various mechanics of each set in the block and some of the cards we like. I use examples of a few cards I use from the sets in my Selenia, Dark Angel deck (which is mentioned in an earlier episode named "Selenia and Me".
