This is a much more sane draft format than the previous two, so I recommend sticking to two colors with possibly a splash in draft.

NicotineJones applies his prophetic foresight to all sorts of Zendikards! Heed his words, or as Wisdom herself would say: “Because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you, when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind.”
