Borca’s parents, Troy and Carina Borca, released the statement on the two-year anniversary of Borca’s Oct. 30, 2022 disappearance. The pair wrote that they "can’t believe it’s been that long since we’ve seen Bryce’s infectious smile or heard his sweet voice." The statement was posted to the Bryce’s Blessings Facebook page. The nonprofit was created to help other families dealing with child loss following the disappearance. Borca’s parents also stated that search measures have continued in the last year, including ground and water searches in the marshy areas around Borca’s last known location. Borca went missing after he and his two friends were dropped off by a Lyft driver on the 3200 block of Hill Ridge Drive just after 2 a.m. He told his friends he was going to walk to his apartment, which was a 40-45 minute walk away. He last spoke with his friends over Facetime at around 2:30 a.m., saying he "didn't know where he was." Borca was also "extremely intoxicated" at the time, according to a search warrant. Borca also told his friends his phone was almost dead at the time. When the call abruptly ended, Borca’s friends began to search for him on foot in a heavily wooded area near ponds and marshes. Borca was reported missing at around 10:50 a.m. Police say his last known whereabouts were in Fort Snelling State Park, near the railroad tracks at the end of Yankee Doodle Road in Eagan. suffering

missing after a night out with friends ended with their close friend whom some reportedly had known since the 6th grade It's a case that shook not only the family and friends of Bryce Borca but also one that resonated across the Eagan and surrounding communities The impact this case had across the community became well known on the morning of Halloween when car after car came to the Blue Cross & Blue Shield campus to join in a search for the young man Hundreds of people came together to search for Bryce Borca It has been a case that has grabbed national and international headlines surrounded by conspiracies and rumors of cover-ups amongst the online communities and even anger toward law enforcement for lack of transparency on this case Eagan Police continue to say no foul play is expected in this case; however the one question that continues to be at the center of this is: Where is Bryce Borca 23-year-old Bryce Borca was last seen around 2 AM on Sunday following an Uber/Lyft ride with friends after they were partying/drinking all day in Stillwater The group was dropped off at an apartment in the Coachman Road/Yankee Doodle area in Eagan After being let out of the ride-sharing vehicle Eagan Police report Bryce Borca reportedly demanded to walk home to his apartment which was about a couple of miles east of their current location Instead of walking east toward his apartment Bryce Borca reportedly walked westward toward Highway 13 one of the friends received a Facetime call from Bryce Borca It appeared Bryce was lost with the friend saying he looked like he was walking in tall grass and kept falling it looked like he was in the tall grassy marsh area just north of the train tracks Bryce Borca's phone died during the Facetime A few friends went down to the train tracks behind the Blue Cross & Blue Shield grounds by the Eagan Police Gun Range but could not find him after the friends had not heard any updates from Bryce Borca requesting a welfare check at Bryce's apartment The friends reported that his car was there but they have been unable to get ahold of him several Eagan Officers searched locations near his estimated last known location several local medical centers and hospitals and surrounding county jails were all contacted to see if they had anyone named Bryce Borca or fit his description He was not found in any of these locations Cellphone tower pings for his last known location before his phone died and emergency location requests were made to Snapchat to try and pinpoint his last known location The cell tower ping put him roughly in the area of his last known location which was believed to have been worn by Bryce was also found in the area of his last known location per the cellphone power when Bryce Borca was officially entered as a missing person Emergency personnel from various departments all across the Twin Cities Metro came to assist the Eagan Police Department's search for Byrce Borca a search that went until dark and then was called off friends and family of Bryce Borca organized a search with the community that brought around 250 friends and strangers from all across the community together in what the Eagan Police Chief would later say was one of the biggest turnouts he has ever seen for a missing person the Eagan Police Department released a statement saying they no longer needed additional volunteers to help in the search Bryce Borca nor any additional clues were found No other official organized searches were done with the general public after that day but several groups of people reportedly did searches on their own over the coming months Eagan Police asked residents and businesses in the area south of Lone Oak Road and north of Silver Bell Road to check their security cameras for any signs of Bryce Borca between the hours of 2-4 AM on October 30th Officials with the Eagan Police Department say they continue to conduct searches for Bryce Borca they say 28 different organizations around 15 different public safety agencies around 1,500 acres have been searched for Bryce Borca which no includes challenging terrain and the navigation of 14-foot tall grass The Eagan Police Department does not believe any foul play is suspected in this case They estimate around 45 tips have been received related to the case so far They confirmed Bryce Borca was seen on a local business's

Earlier this Fall, the Borca Family announced they had started a non-profit organization called Bryce's Blessings so they could honor him and support other families coping with the loss of their child

Pitch RPR1198) | Tania Grubbs Quintet: The Sound Of Love (Travlin Music) | Toms Rudzinskis Quartet: Interception (Jersika Records JRD009-001-1000) As if there weren’t already enough bassoon and drums duos in the world (IRONY ALERT) this one consisting of Borca on the former and Murphy on the latter offers up a programme of music rich in detail and pointillistic nuance Both musicians are loosely informed by what might be called the ideals of Cecil Taylor by dint of the number of musicians involved shows only tangential traces of that iconoclast’s musical density The lengthy Snapping Turtle encapsulates the duo’s musical relationship which is one grounded in “in the moment” spontaneity and the ability of each member to think quickly in response to the other In the solo passage which opens Something Borca stakes out a claim for her instrument as one able to convey much depth and many colours her line eventually joined by percussion from Murphy at his most deft The music is notable for the degree to which it doesn’t raise its voice and is all the more telling because of this as it draws in the active While it’s a little disingenuous to say that New Piece offers more of the same not least because the same in this instance implies something pretty rarefied at least at the moments of greatest animation echoes passages to be found throughout the set But still the balance and poise which are qualities highly indicative of the duo’s understanding are to be heard in abundance Given the cultural conservatism that’s a mark of the present day it’s good to know that labels such as Relative Pitch are still capturing and putting out music such as this which is demanding of the listener and which requires some work to be properly assimilated Singer Grubbs offers up a set notable for the lack of risk Fortunately for her we live in an era when safety and the avoidance of risks can provoke high praise from the critical fraternity Grubbs’ voice is a sophisticated one in the sense that there’s evidence of considerable depth of interpretation but to my cloth ear that evidence comes and goes But Not For Me is taken at a tempo which seems to encourage a light and breezy run-through of the lyric The voice and brushed drums/bass drum duo that opens the interpretation is a nice arrangerly touch before proceedings settle down into a well-known Norman Gimbel and Henry Mancini’s Slow Hot Wind is treated with an abundance of elegance As far as I can hear Grubbs doesn’t do much with the lyric beyond applying her imagination to titular implications while guitarist Ron Affif ups the jazz content considerably with his solo Strange Meadowlark documents Grubbs dealing in a nice line in emotional ambiguity The lyric is one of those which arguably invites a range of interpretations and to her credit Grubbs extracts more from it in terms of interpretation than some might This time it’s Rudway’s turn to take a solo honour Billy Strayhorn’s Something To Live For is for me the strongest song on the album Grubbs shows evidence of really having digested the lyric and her accompanying quartet show every sign of tailoring its work to fit her reading of it resulting in a highly cohesive outing which serves notice of the fact that Grubbs might well have what it takes to stake out some territory of her own in a field that’s far from sparsely populated Latvian alto sax player Rudzinskis and his quartet which includes rising star Alex Koo on piano are shining brightly in the contemporary jazz firmament on their album which is notable for the degree of integration between the standard sax bass and drums quartet and a small string ensemble The refined tension-and-release of opening track Sky neatly summarises the overall feel of the album with the sumptuousness of the strings being counter-balanced by the slightly acidic The following Edges is a title offset by the less dense with Koo in solo avoiding a lot of the cliches of contemporary jazz piano and in turn following the example of the leader in wearing his influences as something entirely unlike a heavy overcoat in July As the music proceeds the strings “sing” in a manner which ensures some depth whose work is that of a musician who knows the value of understatement and the absence of bluster Notional minimalism is the order of the day on Years so almost by default the feeling of understatement is never too far away The bass and drums duo of Igor Spallati and Ivars Arutynyan takes a refined approach giving the very strong impression of a pairing alert to every nuance the music has to offer The closing Memories is aptly both wistful and reflective Rudzinskis gives free rein to his lyrical side again serving notice of his individual approach to his art and thus reminding us that the album amounts to the documenting of a work very much in progress © Unless otherwise indicated, all content copyright Jazz Journal 1948-2025 November 1st - In a news release from the Eagan

and that he was lost It was during this time that Bryce also sent his location via his phone to his friend Bryce’s phone would die about 12 minutes later which prompted his friends to begin the search

area with heavy woods This was additional information that police and volunteers would later use during their searches on Monday Bryce’s last known location was just west of Highway 13 in a wooded area next to the railroad tracks The location was also in the opposite direction of his apartment Broca’s friends then went out to search along Highway 13 and near his last known location but were not able to find him his friends then called 911 and reported him missing investigators found that Borca walked from the area of Letendre Street and then traveled away from Hill Ridge Drive towards

He graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at Venice University in 1945 and was designing a motel for Eni subsidiary Agip in the nearby Cortina d’Ampezzo resort when he got the call from Mattei Gellner created many buildings in and around that jet-set ski destination and he is seen as the architect who put the region on the modernist map in the foothills of the mighty Monte Antelao had little vegetation and excellent sun exposure so he planted thousands of trees and set about integrating the village into the landscape Forms and styles tied to local folklore were vetoed in favour of raw concrete which he used to ‘establish an eloquent counterpoint with the rocks of Antelao’ He designed everything from fireplaces to handles and desks with an artisanal touch acquired from experimenting with materials in his father’s workshop Mattei was killed in a plane crash in 1962 and the expansion of Villaggio Eni was halted but by then Gellner had achieved his goal of creating authentic the whole site was sold to Sardinian company Minoter.  two leather-bound books thick with international press cuttings record the village during its heyday Young boy scouts gather firewood in the A-frame campsite under the shadow of sun-soaked Antelao; smiling children line up on sports pitches; happy couples clink glasses on balconies overlooking the valley of Borca di Cadore below Mattei also saw Villaggio Eni as an opportunity for super branding; everything from tea cups plates and vases by porcelain specialist Richard Ginori to blankets featured Eni’s famous six-legged dog logo A glance today around Hotel Boite’s sweeping semi-deserted foyer is a reminder that times have changed Most of the villas now belong to private owners the colony and the campsite are in states of disrepair and it only takes a small leap of the imagination to picture Jack Nicholson in The Shining at Hotel Boite’s bar ordering aperitivi from imaginary bartenders Visitors are typically artists and architecture students who come to admire Gellner’s work and the famed church and those who want to enjoy the ski slopes of Cortina without the hefty price tag.  escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inbox and relish the views – Monte Pelmo one way All rooms come with original sliding bedheads fold-up desks and Gellner’s three-legged chairs you can almost hear the clouds scudding across the valley arts organisation Dolomiti Contemporanee stepped in to breathe new life into the village It was founded with the aim of regenerating underused sites all over the Unesco-listed Dolomites Progetto Borca launched its first international artist-in-residence programme in Villaggio Eni and the holiday camp has become their studio Curator Gianluca D’incà Levis runs the project and lives in one of Gellner’s perfectly preserved villas He says: ‘This site is problematic because it is too big in relation to the valley We have to find a new use for it.’ As issues of sustainability become more pressing he hopes the mountains will become more than a tourist playground and envisages the village as ‘a laboratory where the relationship between man and nature can be explored’.  The 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics might be a catalyst for change It will be the first time the games have been shared between two sites and a nod to 1956 when the resort hosted the first-ever televised games These gave Gellner the opportunity to create some of Cortina’s landmarks among them the Palazzo Telve office building Some of the resort’s original sporting facilities will be repurposed in 2026 remain immortalised in the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only and plenty of potential in commuter distance from Cortina Villaggio Eni could be the perfect base camp-in-waiting.   progettoborca.net  dolomiticontemporanee.net  Emma O'Kelly is a freelance journalist and author based in London Her books include Sauna: The Power of Deep Heat and she is currently working on a UK guide to wild saunas Our websites may use cookies to personalize and enhance your experience.

But oceans don’t always pose barriers for foreign animal disease spread—this was evident earlier in 2022, when UConn CVDML researchers detected a foreign rabbit pathogen that had reached Connecticut for the first time ASF emerged in sub-Saharan Africa after European colonists brought their own pigs to the continent This puts the emergence of ASF about 200-300 years in the past More than 35 countries are now impacted by the disease “That is a major problem when you don’t have a vaccine or ways to control the spread of the disease You will rely only on trying to slow down the movement of animals Animals are constantly being moved to market or formally or informally from one neighbor to another and that’s when you see these diseases spreading very fast,” Risatti says and his brother Keith compete in the cross cut chew event at the Greenagers' 2016 Farmer Olympics at Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield on Saturday Stephanie Zollshan — The Berkshire Eagle | photos.berkshireeagle.com Arya De takes a minute to relax as Marie Borca-Tasciuc pushes him in the wheelbarrow race at the Greenagers' 2016 Farmer Olympics at Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield on Saturday Stephanie Zollshan — The Berkshire Eagle | photos.berkshireeagle.com Keith Torrico competes in the corn toss at the Greenagers' 2016 Farmer Olympics at Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield on Saturday Stephanie Zollshan — The Berkshire Eagle | photos.berkshireeagle.com Alex Borca-Tasciuc uses his discus knowledge to get good distance in the grain bag toss at the Greenagers' 2016 Farmer Olympics at Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield on Saturday rlindsay@berkshireeagle.com @BE_DLindsay on Twitter PITTSFIELD — Halfway through the Hay Bale Stack event Hannah Guarino and Kailey Uresk finally figured out how best to pile the 11 bundles of field grass into the bed of a Ford Ranger pick-up truck the 15-year-old best friends weren't employing teamwork "When I saw [Kailey] already on the back of the truck I realized it would go quicker if I tossed them to her," said Guarino of Great Barrington The young ladies finished with a solid time of 50 seconds Phillips is an adult volunteer with Greenagers the nonprofit teenage work program staging its third "Farmer Olympics: Go Pig or Go Home," at Hancock Shaker Village The living museum and the South Berkshire-based Greenagers collaborating for the first time on the youth group's fundraiser which debuted three years ago in Great Barrington the agricultural competition resumed on Saturday to promote and raise money for Greenagers programs "It's about environmental stewardship and farming;

They later started Ocular Benefits to do the same for vision benefits plans to help large employers and unions monitor the cost of prescription drugs Two other companies founded in the 1990s also operate under the Skygen brand name: American Therapy Administrators which manages physical therapy and chiropractic claims which manages claims for health insurers and so-called third-party administrators are separate corporate entities but are owned by Kasten and his family The Skygen brand name was introduced this spring to draw attention to the connection among the companies the nexus for the companies is the software as much as their ownership Kasten designed the basic system in the early 1990s when he struck out on his own leaving his job as chief operating officer and chief financial officer of CareNetwork Inc. the parent company of Wisconsin Health Organization Insurance Corp. one of the health maintenance organizations that emerged in the 1980s Kasten had gone to work for Wisconsin Health Organization after losing his job at Miller Brewing Co "A lot of things you think are bad turn out to be good," he said "One of the biggest breaks of my career was leaving Miller." had gone to work for Miller Brewing after earning a business degree in accounting from Marquette University taking the bus from West Allis for his first three years He has since given more than $2.5 million to the university Kasten and his family also gave $250,000 for improvements to what is now Allison Kasten Field at a park in Cedarburg The gift was made in memory of his daughter who died in 2011.) Kasten set up a company that contracted with Wisconsin Health Organization to manage chiropractic costs Borca and several partners had a competing company They had similar ambitions but different strengths who also has a master's in business administration from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee understood information systems and had worked for large companies; Borca was an inveterate entrepreneur someone who was thinking about how to make money in his teens The two saw a niche in managing dental benefits for Medicaid programs It also brought them into a world in which political connections can help Consultants hired by Doral Dental or its subsidiaries would later bring Kasten and Borca several years of headlines and grief A Pennsylvania consulting firm hired by a Doral Dental subsidiary reportedly paid $1.2 million to Managed Care Services a Tennessee consulting firm in which a state senator had a stake who was later convicted of bribery in an unrelated case received $400,000 from Managed Care Services Borca and Kasten were never charged with any wrongdoing and their ties to the political scandal by all appearances haven't hurt their new ventures Nor did they give any thought to simply living on the money from the sale of Doral Dental "It's important that my kids see me go to work in the morning," he said The five-year noncompete agreement as part of the sale of Doral Dental gave Wonderbox Technologies time to work on its software president of UnitedHealthcare Specialty Benefits "It gives us a much broader range of configurability," he said UnitedHealthcare uses the software for commercial Medicare Advantage and Medicaid health plans Kaufman has equally strong praise for Wonderbox employees "The people they have — their team — really is a differentiator for them." The software enables health insurers to add new functions without the chore of retrofitting older computer systems chief information officer for Wonderbox Technologies who has worked for the company and predecessors for more than 18 years Those functions include customized analytical tools and so-called edits to flag claims that look suspicious The software also can handle new ways of paying for medical care doctors and other health care providers are paid a fixed amount for a complete episode of care The new forms of payment are expected to become more common in the next few years Skygen also could provide turnkey systems for new health insurance and accountable care organizations in which hospitals and doctors are paid to oversee the care for a specific group of patients "There are so many market opportunities that we are perfect for," Borca said Kasten and Borca have no interest in selling Wonderbox Technologies or their other companies "A lot of people here have given up their careers to work for us," Kasten said Nor do they have any interest in going public "I'd rather drink battery acid," Kasten said But Borca and Kasten also believe their companies have some opportunities ahead and they acknowledge that the next few years could be busy "We've spent 20 years to get into the position we are in," Borca said Guy Boulton covers health policy and the business of health care   The Land & Space Development Database follows newly completed and ongoing commercial projects throughout the Milwaukee area.

A new card that comes in the deck, Trouble in Pairs It has multiple triggers that will draw you a card you can potentially draw 3 extra cards per turn if my opponent performs specific actions you won’t even need to attack at first You’ll be able to sit back and prepare while goading everyone else into attacking you build up resources so you can finish the game in one fell swoop I’m going to start with three main cards you should focus on getting first Each of these will have a large positive impact on your win rate While I’ll cover both budget and higher cost additions these three cards are the first ones you should save up for but it’s further enhanced since your commander is going to help your opponents draw cards If your opponents are drawing 2+ cards per turn odds are they won’t have 4 mana to waste on preventing you from drawing They’re going to want to use that mana to play the cards they draw Nelly Borca needs to attack each turn for her abilities to work but you don’t want her to be blocked and die There are ten similar swords that give your creature protection from two colors and trigger two abilities when they deal combat damage an opponent Sword of Feast and Famine is my personally favorite since your commander will draw you cards when you attack and you then untap your lands to cast your new cards The discard trigger is also good since your opponents are going to draw cards from Nelly’s ability so this can keep them from getting too many cards in hand Iroas, God of Victory is a great card to make sure your commander doesn’t die when she attacks It also protects all of your other creatures and eventually become a creature to attack This deck is amazing at goading your opponents but you’ll eventually have one opponent left Iroas allows you to aggressively attack them while saving blockers to make sure they don’t take you out While Death Kiss does cost six mana it’s still a perfect for a goad deck The fact it only doubles the power if they’re attacking an opponent instead of you is such a great addition A creature with lower mana cost would be Bothersome Quasit which also allows you to goad your opponents’ creatures Its ability to prevent goading creatures from blocking isn’t as useful given your commander prevents blocking with the suspect ability although he is still a wonderful card to add Dictate of the Twin Gods is riskier than Death Kiss so if you want to be more powerful and reckless it’s a better choice Life of the Party is also a powerful addition since it’s a strong creature and also gives goaded copies to your opponents Making your commander big with Blackblade Reforged allows it to survive combat more frequently the card is cheaper than a lot of equally powerful cards A card from the main set, Agrus Kos, Spirit of Justice would work well with your commander you can suspect two creatures per turn to goad more creatures Or instead you can have Nelly Borca suspect a creature and then Agrus will immediately exile it if you stack the triggers correctly Double strike will also make him extremely powerful if you use the right auras or equipment I mentioned Sword of Feast and Famine, and my other two picks would be Sword of Hearth and Home and Sword of Fire and Ice For decks like this I try to have at least 3 of the swords so I can cover all 5 colors For Hearth and Home this deck has a good number of creatures with enter the battlefield abilities And for Fire and Ice dealing damage and drawing cards is always nice Ancient Copper Dragon is a powerful addition to keep attacking and ramp the mana you need to goad everyone to protect yourself Archangel Elspeth is a strong planeswalker for this deck because her -2 ability can give your commander flying permanently and make her stronger Then after that she can start making creature tokens so you have blockers Her emblem doesn’t work that well for this deck given the average mana cost of your creatures but you can focus on the other two abilities Her 4 CMC also means you can hopefully get her out early to start making creatures Monologue Tax is a great enchantment that lets you draw cards. A more budget version of Smothering Tithe it actually has some positives in that your opponent can’t pay mana to make you not draw Smothering Tithe will trigger more frequently but late game when your opponents have extra mana to burn you’ll stop drawing cards It’s also great that it was reprinted on The List for Karlov Manor so the supply should be greater than usual It’s no wonder Esper Sentinel is a staple in many decks. It costs only a single mana and it can draw you tons of cards. While Smothering Tithe is going to be harder to destroy Sentinel can be buffed with an equipment or auras to force your opponent’s to pay more mana if they don’t want you to draw cards Aurelia, the Law Above draws you cards when your opponents attack with 3 or more creatures The fact that she just triggers by attacking and not dealing damage to an opponent is a big bonus we’re going to look at the lands in your deck I also included some non-land cards that can make mana For lands, this deck has a pretty solid mana base out of the box. There are six lands that can tap for more than one color mana, which is a great start for a two color deck. There are also built in fixes to help you get more of a color you need, like Ash Barrens and Myriad Landscape I would focus less on the colored mana, and more on fixing lands with abilities. Castle Ardenvale and Kher Keep don’t make sense for a deck with no focus on creature tokens I would use Forbidden Orchard instead to replace one of those two preferably Castle Ardenvale because Kher Keep can make tokens for cheaper Giving your opponents creatures works for a deck designed to goad them into attacking Minas Tirith is a strong land that draws you cards when you attack with two or more creatures that should happen most turns when it’s later in the game and you need to refill your hand Burnished Hart is also a useful creature to help you fix your mana base. Though I prefer Wayfarer’s Bauble for the mana cost but you could run both if you want more ramp If you don’t mind using a Doctor Who card, Laser Screwdriver would be a pwerful mana generating artifact The fact that it can also goad creatures is a great fit for this deck too possibly replacing basic lands or lands that you don’t like the abilities of Dockside Extortionist is also a great fit to ramp mana since so many of your cards let your opponents draw and play more cards So you’ll hopefully have a full board of artifacts and enchantments to profit from I’ve already mentioned some cards to remove but I feel I should also list more here before showing my personal decklist Feather, Radiant Arbiter is the alternative commander and while powerful she is not a good fit for this deck You don’t have that many spells that target creatures You have auras but many goad the creature or prevent them from attacking you so you’ll want them on your opponents’ creatures Stalking Leonin is a great card for exiling but I find it annoying having to keep track of the player you secretly picked it stops being helpful outside of a 2/2 body The problem with Sun Titan is there is not enough 3 or less CMC creatures for him There are tons of enchantments for you to bring back so it’s not too bad Otherworldly Escort is awesome since it comes back from the dead once, but I feel there are other cards that work better for this deck. Selfless Squire is similar in that it can be extremely powerful but you have to wait for someone to attack you with enough damage to be worth it I’m replacing Windborn Muse with Crawlspace since an artifact will be harder to destroy than a creature so I can replace a non-creature for a creature Mob Verdict is such a fun card it can wipe out weaker creatures so you can focus on goading the stronger survivors if my opponent cast Mob Verdict I would rather damage another opponent than let them draw and I might be tempted to aim at opponents with stronger creatures so there are more creatures to attack the goad deck It’s a better fit for a deck focusing on noncombat damage In an enchantment deck, Winds of Rath can be quite good. However, given how you want to put most of your auras on opponents creatures to goad them, it doesn’t make a lot of sense here. Farewell is a much better card that can also exile other permanents if you want to keep the current creatures on the board Spectacular Showdown is a potent card to help you finish a game But if someone prevents combat damage or stops the attacking you’ll end up with a bunch of creatures with double strike that can attack you the next turn Prisoner’s Dilemma seems like an amusing card It works better for a deck focused on noncombat damage Here is my full deck list if I reasonable budget or collection – without going too crazy. At the time of writing this Dockside Extortionist is the most expensive card so if you want to avoid spending too much money that’d be the first card to remove Do you have any cards you’d like to recommend for this Blame Game Upgrade Guide Also let us know what commander articles you’d like to see in the future.
