Description
Clan Capashen can trace its roots back to ancient Sheoltun nobility.[1] Its current leader is Danitha Capashen.[2] The planeswalker Urza chose Clan Capashen to become part of his Bloodline Project, a large project of genetic engineering set up to create perfect warriors to fight off the Phyrexian Invasion.
