First off, the visuals are absolutely beautiful. The gingerbread cookies look like they came right out of a Pixar film, complete with love song. I'm astonished at how well they're animated. And suddenly Garruk storms the castle and gets in a fight with the guards, and the poor cookies are looking for a place to hide or maybe escape. They find themselved trapped between a pot full of boiling orange fluid and a milk jar that shatters, leaving them dangling precariously over the edge. Garruk's axe comes down, separating the two cookies, and the female falls into the pot, seemingly dead. Garruk grabs the male cookie and bites his head off. Yes, Garruk is seriously eating a gingerbread cookie in a MtG trailer. Even the big bad huntsman loves him some home-baked sweets. Then we see that the female cookie survived...and she is MAD. She grabs a fork and leaps at Garruk, intent on putting an eye out. Yes, Garruk seriously has a cartoony gingerbread woman out for his blood because he ate her boyfriend.
I don't even know what to say to all this. It's so well animated and deranged and sad and hilarious and...WHAT THE FUNKY MONKEY DID I JUST WATCH? |8D

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
I'll spell it out for people since it doesn't seem to be mentioned much but the cookies seem analogous with Will and Rowan Kenrith. It seems to me the story will revolve around Garruk, Rowan, and possibly Will being manipulated by Oko for laughs. I wonder If Will is already dead at the start of the story? Maybe, maybe not.
Pretty stupid trailer as its focus is just way too limited (which means it shows almost nothing of the world, its entirely just the kitchen table and nothing else, where are the faeries, the monsters, anything else the set has to offer, this is just falling as short as it gets), looks decent for what is shows, but the content is just garbage with the focus on the incredible stupid gingerbreads instead of anything else the world has to offer.
Music is pretty crap too, doesnt even remotely compare to the War of the Spark trailer, here its just try-hard and it falls flat on its face.
----
Garruk does its thing, but in the background and with pretty bad animations, the movement and animation just feels off (Garruck that is, for the bit you can see in the background at all).
Not impressed, they can do better and they should do better.
Fantastic trailer. I don't know if it was completely outsourced or if WOTC had input into the story, but that's the kind of feel I want my sets to have.

YES! It’s the same style as war of the sparks trailer
They keep making trailers like this there’s gonna be lots of new people coming
There should be boar-folk by now! Quillboars!

Also: "Not the gumdrop buttons!"
That scene with the gingerbread cookiegirl falling hit a tone. The feelz were fuh realz.
Ya don't want to piss off gingerbread people.
