So nothing too surprising in the announcements today, except for the new UN set and the FTV flippers. We kinda already knew Ixalan has dinos, however we're getting pirates as well (wooo?). Rivals was clearly the second set. It was inevitable to return to Dominaria for the 25th anniversary, everyone could figure that much Iconic Masters is kinda confirmed to be underwhelming because they're also releasing Masters 25 next spring. Duel deck with goblins again? Meh. Merfolks are fine, but they could've chosen some other tribal race instead of goblins tbh. The dame reavling stuff for Ixalan still wants to say something about a product related to the 25th celebration but the guy stops her, wonder what that is...
So yey for a new UN set! Hope they do some gorgeous full art lands too! As for FTV flippers (if this is not a ruse)... I hope they change the foiling process, cuz double faced cards with weird foiling would make the cards wavy as hell.

It's the unset. Mark reveals it at the end.
There will be more at Hascon, but presumably card and set info, not product announcements.

I'm not too sure about this, the community manager asks if he can tell about 2 things in the beginning and the brand manager says he can't. So one is the UN set and the other is? Could it be RL related?
We will finally get our squirrel planeswalker in the Un-Set (unconfirmed speculation based on hope).

Lots of stuff to buy.
Un-Sets kinda sold themselves after people realized how awesome the foil full art basics in them are.
If they make joke cards i hope they at least make them somewhat work within the normal game rules (so please not putting shoes on the table again, that almost killed our playgroup by suffocation).
A third Un-set? I was not expecting that to ever actually happen.
The first two un-set are just crazy from what I have seen of them, so let's hope that they kept that same craziness intact. And made it even crazier.
Great, 200 new cards I can't use outside of drafting or kitchen table magic... Sigh.
"But the lands will be awesome!!!"
Because apparently they have to put the coolest lands that could be printed in any set in the set with the least crossover to playable formats.
Not trying to be a downer, I'm sure there will be some fun stuff for drafting here, but Un sets have the fewest cards with replayability value unless you aren't playing a format, and even then, many kitchen table casual players don't want to play with gimmicky silly cards.

Oh my god, you're right. Planeswalkers weren't around at the time Unhinged was printed. There's no way in hell Wizards would take the time to visit a new Un-set and not bother to print a planeswalker in it. I wonder what our Un-walker is going to be. I really hope it's a squirrel.

In 216+ cards we can get more than one 'walker. Urza's Severed Head might be one.
Sweet! The unset that youve all been clamoring for and wont buy!
I know, im about to get a flood of responses saying otherwise, but if the past has proven anything, this will sell well for a week or two and then you'll never find anyone interested in it again
I find this a weird decision, considering the Un-Sets are pretty much supported by the full-art lands (that's magnitudes greater than Zendikar and Amonkhet) and that's about it.
I hope they went into this decision without high (or any) expectations (at least in terms of sales/profits)... because I don't have any.
This is the way to reveal and tease. Kudos Maro and WOTC. Loved the video.
Please give me Optimus Prime in transform!, hascon, or un-set.
Perfect holiday card promo.
People who care about Conspiracy as a format, and not just for the reprints that it brings, share a lot of overlap in target audience with fans of Un-.
And sometimes you just feel like being silly when playing commander. I once had a monkey (ok, ape at the time) based commander deck that included unhinged cards. It was fun.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
