DAZE So, what does it take to make a counterspell better than Counterspell

These changes are going to take yearsdont expect to see them all in the next few months, but you will see things here and there. The next example well see of these experiments is coming in Commander Legends in the form of Keeper of the Accord, which was revealed during todays panel: Keeper of the Accord may not address the card draw portion of strengthening White, but it takes the Land Tax and Knight of the White Orchid form of ramp that already exists in White and scales it up to be even more powerful in multiplayer Commander games
