There was an announcement of an announcement ("soon") this week, and there have been a few leaks spotted on eBay. It's mostly commander dross and nothing which hasn't been printed in foil yet. Also nothing which isn't already in the regular set.

Leaks: Marrow-Gnawer, Hound of Konda, Reaper King, Isamaru, Blighted Agent

I swore I read that the foil sheet was explicitly cards not in the main set?

I wouldn’t play magic on my cell phone even if I could m, it just sounds like a completely miserable gaming experience

Hearthstone is explicitly designed to work on mobile and playing it on a phone loving blows, so I cant imagine how awful magic would be

Impossible to tell if you're talking about a potential mobile version of Arena or the Arena that already exists and already does this.

I wonder if some of the 'BM roping' people see is due to disconnects, I've had a lot recently where I had to quit out of and restart the game including at annoying moments like when I have lethal on board

Release the Kraken
FINALLY there's a product line where WotC can reprint cards that are in demand! Surely they will do it this time because they have never been able to do it before.

Maybe they can avoid having to kill Pioneer in 9 years when it becomes too expensive to play since there is literally no way to reprint any of those in-demand cards.

I play Arena on my phone with SteamLink and the only time it feels miserable is deck building or drafting. For gameplay I feel like all I would want is slightly larger buttons.

Well good news, because Arena is coming to moble too

I'm imagining that they find a mobile version of the Arena client is too hard to do and they just release the Arena novel on Kindle instead to technically satisfy the statement.

Uh yeah, that's what I meant to type. No new foils, but no cards which are already in the main set. Woops.

Next round of PTs will be Modern/Standard, no Draft. Just loving end paper Magic already, geez.

Paul Zuvella

The PTs are explicitly the paper events.

I don't think this is that insane, it makes sense for every event in the same series to be the same format, and there are legit arguments that Limited was over-represented in the PT. Its not any more legitimate than any other format.

And its not even permanent, the PTs in the fall have draft.

Drafting is boring as gently caress to play and to watch, if Limited was just literally drafting and then submitting your deck to a judge and have them score it it would be more fun.

The legacy 40k sold out in half an hour and the wait-list closed at 500 people already. Neat except I was busy so it doesn't look like I'll be able to get a ticket. Hopefully this inspires some other but legacy events.

The Draft/Constructed split has been a Pro Tour staple for literally eleven years but sure let's just gently caress everything up because I don't know.

LMAO no, Munchkin just poached a reddit meme where you post someone’s name when you disagree with what they say and all the Trad Games goldfish brains just keep doing because it ‘owns’ me.

He definitely isn't, Bust Rodd is a goof but not a bad goof, and also not a constant source of hot takes about how X card is unplayable before it's in a PT top eight.
