Deconstructed: Tempest

by SaffronOlive // Sep 28, 2018

Fletcher here and welcome back to Deconstructed, a retro set review, where we take a look back at Magic the Gathering history through the frame of a single constructed set. Today, in our fourth episode, we will be starting a new block with the set, Tempest.

Tempest was Mark Rosewater's first set as a designer, and man is it full of stuff! Sit back as we go through the Tempest story line, learn how the set was created and see how some of the break out cards from the set were used in the 1997 standard meta. What is your favorite card from Tempest? How are these cards still being used in formats today? Leave your comments below and thank you for watching!
