Farewell, March of the Machine: The Aftermath

 Rounding out standard rotation month, today I look at March of the Machine: The Aftermath.

Released in May 2023, March of the Machines:the Aftermath (MAT) is exactly what the name indicates: the conclusion of the battle started in ONE and continued in MOM. This micro-set has only 50 cards and came in smaller booster packs (called 'epilogue' boosters, they had only 5 cards), though each card had various versions (frames) which swelled the total set to 230.

With such a small card base, there weren't any real themes other than 'legendary matters'; this was considered an extension of the March of the Machines set.

Favorites
Most are multi-colored legendary characters that either saw use in my legendary deck or are fun commanders.



Good Riddance
Here, only Nissa annoyed me, and she heralded landfall shenanigans that got out of hand fast if you didn't deal with her promptly.
General rule: when Wizards releases a micro-set, don't bother buying packs. Buy the singles you want. There is nothing here of sizable value that warrants the blind buy.
