Creating a Card Review

When creating a card review, please consider reviewing a underused card. Most of us have already seen the tons of ways the meta cards have been used, so a review would be unbeneficial to the reader. Be sure to make the review thought provoking and extensive. So good luck on unearthing the next big combo!

I like the template that TCO has for it's card reviews, so it will be the standard layout we'll have here. You do not have to use all the categories, and are free to add you're own category. When creating a topic in this section, you will see this template.
