How are people vining with these dossier treatments?

I don't like them or the Dr Who ones since it makes it tricky to tell at a glance what color(s) the card is. I like the art style though and the flavor text is fun.

One thing I'm minorly worried about is the story ends on the 18th (2 days after previews start) do I have be concerned we will learn the bad guy is before the last episode? (I'm assuming we don't get any story tomorrow and the day after.) They said something to the tune of "the 16th we get car...

I just noticed Meddling Youths, lol

That's got to be an intentional nod to Scooby Doo, right?

Yup, I'd also say its also meant to be the general trope of a kid/teen sleuths such as your Nancy Drews while being a clear nod to Scooby doo the most popular of that sub-genre of mystery stories.

Might be able to start on the major events spoiler for Murders at Karlov Manor? Prominent Ravnicans have been murdered, starting with Zegana, former Prime Speaker of the Simic Combine. I'm gonna wait for the stories to finish first since I'm mainly (in this thread) focusing on the main events of th...

[/quote] Pretty much 100% confirmed, the GRW commander deck (Deadly Disguise) was said to have a mechanic invoking face down card. But I also feel they are about to actually use kindre...

@5colorsrainbow How did you like the story? It was a good intro and McGuire is a talented author but I'm waiting to see how things go. ATM I think Ravnica works great for a murder mystery as we have a bunch of mostly well known characters (many of whom are part of guildes which are well known) whic...

The lost caverns of Ixalan planeswalkers guide has some info about the Fomori (please click the link even if you don't read, the clicks are the ways creative can show the higher powers people are interested in the story. If nothing else it will show the higher ups that magic own IP is worth keeping ...

For context this what was said about the singel; "Suppose you're New Phyrexia. You're going to compleat thousands of people in short order. What's the best way to keep in contact with them?" Saheeli had asked them. "Some kind of signal," answered Kaya. "A call only they can ...

I also figured I'd put in some info that have been said by Maro and Roy Graham (the new story leader) as the Doylist reasonings for the mass desparking from design (a bit of development) and creative ; -As cards planeswalkers are shallow in design, often limited to sorcery based activated abilities ...

These my own personal guessing based on how much storyline they have, how much each walkers was used as a special legend for their world, how likely we would see that walkers homeplane in a set (so how likely we would see the character again as a legend) and how much design space their gimmicks have...

First story (of Ten) by Seanan McGuire
https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic ... f-our-past

Murders at Karlov Manor is a top down Murder Mystery Set and a backdrop set on Ravnnica focusing on the murder mysteries tropes vs being a guild set. We open up after the Phyrexian war with the Golgari nearly wipped out from Vraska compleating many of them as well as the many of the Izzet and Simic ...

~When you're way up high And you look below At the world you've left And the things you know Little more than a glance Is enough to show You just how small you are~ In a traditional format, 4 cards to trigger beanstalk is not enough, 8 is doable, but you really want 10+. That's trivially easy in mod...

When Wizards talked about the schedule for sets out to 2026 they also talked on what the story will be doing. We will be seeing three year long story arcs that will make up the next major saga for Magics story; Codename-Metronome*. The three arcs are; The Omenpath Arc (2023-2024), The Dragon Storm A...

As a consequence of the Phyrexia War, hinted to be from Realmbreaker and/or the Sylex ripping open holes into the Blind Eternities, an event has caused many planeswalkers to lose their sparks. Wotc has said they won't give a list of who still has a spark and who doesn't instead left to be discovered...

I like to run lands related to the commander and/or the themes. For example I have Feather who has a heroic theme so I try to only put lands from Theros and Ravnica. That said I be cheap and sometimes will just put a random land I have into a deck if i don't have any more lands that match flavor wise.

I still go on Sally for the rumor mill and story discussion but man I really got burned out over all the bigotry that still jumped out . On that note, I'm basically the one running the lore section on sally. I tried to do that here but people weren't really talking about the story itself but seems l...

Just for the spirit of Christmas harmony, post whatever opinion you like and I'll agree with it. One day only!

Color Identify rules should let you run hybrid cards like they can be used in other formats :D

Do we know when the next story will come out? Chapters 2-10 will be released over January 8–18 It seems weird to me that they released a story on December 5th and haven't released one since then. Usually don't they do a new story every week? They are trying something new and released the first chap...

The current guild leaders and who might be in the set; Azorius- Lavinia is the current acting guildmaster and is at the gala Dimir- Lazav is thought dead but not confirmed. Etrata is in the set and might have taken over but uncertain Rakdos- Rakdos and we seen he gets a card and a guild leader frame...

I had no idea there was a story already. It seems weird that there's no mention of Niv-Mizzet, the living guildpact. Niv will be in the set, they said there would be 6 guild leaders and niv and they will be getting guild leader frames. The entire story, if I'm not mistaken, takes place within the c...

Sounds like a win-win for the Golgari. The Golgari are basically non-existent atm, Vraska purposely compleated most of the guild by having Realmbreaker open up in the Undercity as the first strike of the Ravnican Invasion. But couldn't they have grown zombies from everyone who died during the invas...

Happy Hannukah!

Looking at the flavor text for Demand Answers , I think the attempt on Aurelia's life was a false flag* operation conducted by the Boros Legion so they can justify moving against the Rakdos Cult. *I know this terminology is a dog whistle of sorts, and wasn't my intention. Sounds like a win-win for ...
