im glad my constant bitching on the internet about the boring homogeneity of the art on the newer cards directly caused them to focus on more varied and interesting art styles

So it looks like the Stranger Things re-skin cards also have the same Friends Forever ability. Does that mean you can, theoretically, use the Stranger Things card and its re-skin counterpart as your commander as they have different names but lack the part of the card that tells you that it's a re-skin (see Godzilla cards)?

Me too, thank you.

Esper = Obscura
Grixis = Maestros
Jund = Riveters
Naya = Cabaretti
Bant = Brokers

So they’re all demon families and everything is supposed to be organized crime-y. Bant/Brokers sounds and looks like they’re lawyers, and I’m assuming Jund/Riveters is like crooked labour unions. Cabaretti is gonna be like criminal club owners based on the name/picture. This set is gonna own.

in the bottom left of the card there's an " = SLD ### " which is how they're representing the cards being treated as identical now

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

When I heard magic was doing art deco I was afraid it would be too busy, and if that plains is any indication I was right on the mark (though that mountain is real nice).

Otoh, we got some cubism in magic again, finally

Midnight Hunt CBs were $139.48 on woot.. think Strixhaven CBs are on sale (on Amazon) as well.

They have over 9000 of the Midnight Hunt CBs. Most likely they'll be at the $139.48 price again.

In normal sets? Not great. Better if you count supplemental / reprint sets. They've said they don't care if they actually get 'printed'.

They just printed Grinning Ignus in Strixhaven. They're definitely still keeping their eyes open for opportunities to print Future Sight cards.

It was neat that they managed to find a home for a card that was originally designed to be played in a limited environment with the storm mechanic. Flavoring him the Prismari and there love of big spells was a brilliant way to recontextualise his ability.

Eh, the Castlevania Sorin (and the foil version of it) will probably be worth a lot from a collector’s standpoint in a few years and one of those is your best shot at grabbing him.

Still holding out for some art nouveau planeswalkers.

Also want those Metropolis plains and a Poirot character tie-in. Agatha Christie and mtg has a lot of crossover, right? Right!?

WotC coming down hard on the side of calling the cycle the Tricycle lands.

WotC have certainly become more liberal about certain things in recent years and while stuff like third-party tie-ins are a matter of... mixed opinion... some of it has been pretty good. Like there is no way in hell they would've previously printed those lands as the only cards with cycling in the set. But that's fine when you literally just fuckin read the reminder text and you understand it.

maro's tumblr says it's because they didn't want to wait even longer to finish the cycle in a set where the lands both made sense to be included and it made sense to call them 'triomes'

Portmanteau of Tri and Biome. I don't think it's a real word.
