What the heck do these things? Do we like them? Will they create meaningful change? Is there anything we wish was different? Of course, it's also finally time for us to let out our Aetherdrift thoughts during the Product Watch. After the break, Cal is joined by longtime comic book and Magic artist Steve Ellis to discuss his continually evolving work.
