Talking FLASH with Michael Levine (the Interview!)
If you were around for the era of Prophet of Kruphix in Commander, or the Flash // Hulk Metagame in cEDH, you know how strong playing your permanents at instant speed can be. This week, John sits down with Michael Levine, one of the Mono-White Guys from the Mind Sculptors, to talk about how Wizards' experimentation with cards which give you the ability to cast permanents as though they had Flash completely changes the game.
