Zendikar Spoiler 2

~

As we have just covered another Magic the Gathering Zendikar Spoiler just yesterday with some product packaging, we thought we might just roll into another one for today.

The regular release of the popular 'Key Selling Points' document is not only important for Magic the Gathering product distributors to pass along important information to their retail clients but also important to the fan community (read: spoiler nutters like you and me) as it provides some additional colour on the spoiler pallete.

You can either skim through this Zenkidar document summary here on MTG Realm or click HERE which will take you to the full document hosted on scribd.
