Tangentially related, I suppose: I've been binging Star Trek Discovery and really like it. Then I got onto the internet and found out that I was supposed to hate it. The internet sucks.

Oh so me and magic

I never got into Star Wars, but overall I think its more fun/pop corn movie vs something serious (thought it has its moments) and the setting/world is a bigger draw then the characters. I'm also convinced that's why so many people hate the newer stuff with a burning passion. They aren't 7 any more, ...

Characters without cards (they must at least have a name and some story focus) Gay Men Pavios and Thanasis- Tragic lovers who are Theros versions of Pyramus and Thisbe. Hailin- Husband of Vadrik Transfem Malynn- A transwoman elder from Innistrad Non-Binary Nadino - A non-binary Kor wizard from Guul...

Jay Annelli made this twitter thread and figure it be nice to have a forum the repression for queer folks MtG has created and something to add too. https://x.com/jay13x/status/1797967280376303873?s=46&t=IcyvlxXBwOJzqSp7MuXVAA This post will be characters show in cards and officially confirmed/so...

That's not confusing at all XD For reference, I don't believe that this was ever explicitly stated, but it's not difficult to infer. When they added the Phyrexian creature type, they errataed it to every creature with a Phyrexian watermark.... but Consecrated Sphinx had the Secret Lair printing wit...

Stories will start on July 2nd and be written by Valerie Valdes.

I think it's funny as hell that they are simplifying creature types in the same era where every card has 12 sentences of rules text. No way we can keep track of Efreets under these circumstances. I think its more with Tarkir on the way for a return they had consultants come on to help with what see...

Prediction: The main villain of the Duskmourn storyline is Duskmourn - like the house itself is malevolent a la The Shining. I agree. Reposting my prediction from the overall story arc thread I think the plane/house used to feed on planeswalkers who would get trapped there and now gets to glut on t...

Interestingly, the pattern of colors puts Grist as originally monogreen, making her probably a more benign... eusocial-insect-sapient-queen? The BOOM comics for Magic had a one shot with her that fits your thought of green being her core color and semi-benign being. The comics are there own canon b...

Got the three other walkers (not in leaks);

Sorin who sparked when his grandfather turned him into a vampire
Ral who sparked when he found his bf cheating on him
Grist whose story is unknown atm but card hints she sparked when she also learned her necromancy magics.

I think the main goal of the design was to enable non-creature commanders. It was mostly to make the Gods of Kaldheim feel special. The default design for gods in magic is often a hard to kill creatures that get more powerful when given proper "worship". The hard to kill part can be trick...

I run Black Market Connections in Teysa Karlov and its really nice there since I can often use the tokens to regain the life i lost making them.

Considering P/T rare =/= power in lore I don't think it matters one way or the other really.

Also, remains to be seen who the androgynous person with the... ghost-detecting bowie knife?... is, but they definitely look straight out of the 80s. I'm digging how the androgynous character outfit feels like something you'd see a character wear in a fantasy/ Sci Fi 80's movie / book cover then re...

The glasses clearly point to that being Zimone, I think, even though the art shows her apparently aged up. That makes sense if she was a young teenager in her first(?) year of tertiary school in 4561 AR and it should be 4565 or later by the time Duskmourn's story takes place, making her 18-19. Yeah...

From a podcast interview story lead Roy Graham said that the next two mini arcs ("Dragon storm" and "Censored") will not feature a arc protagonist. Kellan was an experiment in using a main character as the connecting through line for the Omenpath arc and they wanna experiment wit...

My own thoughts or other comments; -They will talk about how this scale will work with upcoming sets that have more then one plane as the major setting ("death race set"). -Related to above point; I'd guess this would greatly increase the likely hood of a plane being featured as they could...

Maro realsed his third artile on the the Rabiah scale. The Rabiah scale is a scale from 1-10 (10 being the least likely) on how likely Maro thinks a plane will be the main/major setting in a standard legal set . https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/making-magic/the-rabiah-scale-part-3 TLDR of the plane...

Jay Annelli outlined some of the worldbuilding we got glimpses of in the cards flavor text and other public info and put in into together more cleanly explained;

More modern technology is a debated thing in Magic's setting so lets look at the history and evolution of it. Weatherlight/Pre-Weatherlight - I'm don't know about Weatherlight era and back enough to break all down, thought we did have some of Magic doing tech/scifi elements with Urza, the Thran and ...

So for FNM last night we drafted my custom BotW set at my LGS. It was a ton of fun and it seemed like everyone really enjoyed it. There were 8 people total, so it was the perfect number. One person drafted four Blupee along with an Ocarina of Time so each time I saw one of his games he had an army ...

Sweet lord we get the closest thing we'll ever see to Cataclym in the command zone and it's not only tribal but also a pun? End my suffering please. How's Ajani a pun? Cat themed card ult is more or less "Cat"aclysm Oh, maybe thats the pun, but I felt like its meant to be a call back to A...

benjameenbear TheAmericanSpirit Also of note Cynthia Williams (the now ex ceo) only has the role since 2022 so most if not all the choices to do with magic are things and products being made under her tenue are ones that one we just now seeing due to magic working 2-3 years in advances on sets and ...

I know this is early but PlayMTG posted a MagicCon: Las Vegas poster and it did show a small nugget of story info;


Kaito, with Pompon, will be here, as a planeswalker or omenpath traveler we will see.
