I’ve spent the last two weeks painting for a commission of the seven wonders of the ancient world on seven iconic lands that are particularly good for Commander.

Hey all,
So, if I’m to take this challenge on, then I’m going to need a deck.  Sisay is the general, and below you can see what I included, and why.  You’ll also catch another alter …
