    Khans of Tarkir was my first ever prerelease, and was the first time I started to play Standard over kitchen table Magic. And yet, I never cast a single Rhino. Jeskai for life!

    Honestly, Rhino is like in top 3 cards of all time for me. It's mostly for nostalgia reasons, as I started playing in Nyx but didn't play standard until Khans. I fell in love with Rhino and its incredible value, and he will be dearly missed in my eyes.
