The fall is officially here, which means it is time for an exciting Standard rotation and a new set for Magic: The Gathering players to start drafting and brewing Constructed decks with. The new set, Zendikar Rising, takes players back to one of the most popular planes of the multiverse and brings back the iconic Landfall mechanic once again.
