A long time ago in a desert far, far away.
—
Inspired by the introduction of the Illusion-Type, I was surprised that there was no nod to the classic media trope of illusions, mirages! Or more specifically, desert mirages. As such, I made an archetype that centers around them, in addition with the gimmick of destroying them to "discover" "Saharabia, the Eternal Oasis" quicker.
This is Wave 1 of "Saharabia", so let me know what you guys think of this current batch! Like any TCG or World Premiere, I'll save the 2nd Wave on another time, such as this Sunday.
May you all have a blessed rest of your Monday evening 👋 🙏
