Simic leaving biology on the side for a while to become Quandrix and focus on math also feels like a logical path to follow. Prismari being artists instead of crazy scientists and engineers like the Izzet seems like an almost natural evolution. I really like the way they’re trying to take the five color pairings in new and interesting directions instead of rehashing older identities and themes. Not to mention that having a set that’s all about attending college when most, if not all of us, have had to stick to online classes for the past year feels almost like a gift from the Magic team.
I have to admit that, as a college student myself, I’m super excited for the new Strixhaven cards and lore. Elemental Masterpiece | Illustration by Marta Nael
