Portal l The Resleevables #16 l Magic: The Gathering History MTG

Cedric Phillips and Patrick Sullivan are here for their deep dive on Magic's first introductory product — Portal!

The duo dissect Magic's first attempt at customer acquisition, with their thoughts on what goes into designing an introductory set, the use of new terminology and how confusing it unintentionally was, and if having this much land destruction in a set with these goals is a good or bad idea.
