With Elesh Norn's assault of the multiverse underway and almost every plane being invaded by phyrexians, you'd think there'd be a whole lot of exciting story potential for the mtg universe in March of the Machine. But it's over as soon as it began.
The set is a big let down and there's a lot of problems to talk about. It's admittedly a cool looking set and I'll look at the cards first and dig into some of what I really like about it, before talking about the story which just about murders any positive feelings I have. It is bad.
Before Aftermath arrives to retcon MoM's impact, let's delve into how the flavour and lore of this should-be-pivotal set was assassinated before its release.
