It's been over two months since the release of last Magic: The Gathering set, "The Brothers' War." There, the original Magic plane of Dominaria was under attack by one of the most evil forces in the Multiverse. Now, it's time to head to the plane behind the invasion, and take on the enemy in their home turf.
