Talking about my lean, green, mean friend Gene! There's some promising historical precedence for cards like Gene Pollinator, so I'm talking through those as a backdrop before taking a look at some of the things Gene can do in Edge of Eternities.

Episode 16 - White Auracite

What are our fixing options, and what types of cards ask us to stretch our manabase?
