Strixhaven - I wonder which plane this is on? Definitely gives me Harry Potter vibes. Evidently it's the name of the school, not the entire world. This could be promising.
I wonder if strixhaven is on a known plane (Vrynn? Kephalai? Kinshala? Mercadia?) or a brand new plane.
I like HP as much as your average Joe, but I hope this is either a wholly original mage school or draws from lots of places. Earthsea was mentioned. There's also the King Killer Chronicles and the Magicians plus I'm sure many many more. I'm excited for it (and the Viking set) if done right. I trust 'um:)

Kaldheim will probably be the Hoth of MTG Fandom. Hoth I believe was an iceworld in the Star wars galaxy or universe right?
Wait, when exactly was she canceled anyway? I know it went viral recently but I feel like I've been hearing about her for awhile now.
Quote from H3RAC71TU5 »
Hopefully they'll introduce a trans planeswalker as the MC as an extra dig at Rowling for that Lovecraft Country reclamation effect.
That would be absolutely lovely. As someone who's still a partial closeted MTF it'll be nice to see further representation outside of Alesha, Who Smiles at Death.

Got another prediction the Harry Potter world being either a resurrection of shard color set (alara lost the shard factor)
... why? Nothing about "magic school" makes me think about tricolor or Alara. Having a naya and a jund faction on a school would be very awkward imo.
what do you mean why?
it might be Inalla, Archmage Ritualist home plane it’s currently unknown and with lots of wizards could make sense
the same could be said for Watcher of the Spheres Core sets have hinted stuff before and this is azorius shard legends color combos are based of ally combinations while wedge is enemy
Plus the rare lands are easily the houses there’s 5 of them and you can’t see them as possibly shard colors?
Did they officially state that enemy fetchlands would be in Modern Horizons 2? Because they have stated that Modern Horizons sets are going to be devoted to printing new cards for Modern, and for new-to-Modern reprints. Enemy fetchlands check neither of those boxes.
In the announcement video the only thing they said about MH 2 other than it would have MH type stuff in it was that it would have the enemy fetchlands at rare.
Is it just me, or is Harry Potter World a little... late?
Are there more books/movies coming out that I don’t know about?
Magic school is too old and widely done a trope to be reduced to Harry Potter.
I doubt this set will be particularly reminiscent of HP compared to any other magic school fiction.

that’s a little weird it just accured to me
a safe bet it might be the same motto as the first time all reprints weren’t modern legal till now
They probably had the Idea, name, all the sketch arts, etc done before the cancelation...
Harry Potter just got a "push" in the last 1-2 years they saw that and made the set.
-----
Also, have anyone played the Harry Potter tcg?
People are trying to revive the game, there is even a fan/commitee made set that just got released
Wait, when exactly was she canceled? I know it went viral recently but I feel like I've been hearing about her for awhile now.
June this Year.
In 2018 i think She Claimed that Dumbledore and Grindelwald were a couple, starting the meme "now JKR made you gay".
In June this year she wroted about trans womans in sports, i think, and her twitter was deemed as transphebe, thus the cancelation.
Innistrad: the Twilight saga. Will they have Edward Cullen and Jacob as promo cards? Ewww.
Time to reimagine all the best scenes of Twilight into Magic cards and the future Secret Lairs. Then we can head to Fifty Shades of Grey Secret Lair where Whip of Erebos and The Rack are waiting for us. Nothing says adult like spending your money on something you like painfully overspending for a brief high.
Like the time Bella tried killing herself just so she could see illusions of Edward. Illusions of Grandeur.
When she jumps off a cliff into water to see illusions of Edward. Fatal Push
Where the 100+ year old man smells the teenage girl from afar and falls in love instantly. Cathartic Reunion, I guess.
When the adult male werewolf falls in love with the 15 minute old baby with the horrible CGI face. Cathartic Reunion, I guess, but this time with terrible CG artwork. (Seriously, **** this franchise)
The big anime fight scene at the end that's just a dream. Iono, some future card that retells the War of the Spark?
Really not a big fan of D&D and Magic intermingling like this.
Also not a fan of the Core Set being apparently missing. We already went through the "phase out the Core Set" thing didn't we, and realized it was a mistake?
Something tells me the D&D set is the core set, but I do share some of your concerns. Seems like D&D stuff would have been better for alternate art stuff, like the Godzilla cards, rather than a whole set dedicated to it.
Strixhaven seems like a nod to all the people who love Harry Potter but have their enjoyment of that IP tainted since the author got herself cancelled.
Less about her getting herself "cancelled" and more her completely screwing around with her work. Crimes of Grindelwald was a pretty bad movie and since Harry Potter ended she's been toying with it for years. Harry Potter wasn't really good at the best of times, but it was definitely better before random characters changed sexuality for zero reason and wizards weren't evaporating their feces. (Yes, that's a thing she actually made canon.) She keeps screwing with it and for no reason.
Her series is getting less and less popular thanks to her own changes and expanding the universe. Of course the things she said definitely didn't help.

Ah okay, I didn't get around to actually watching the video until now, lol.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
The only issue with a Viking set is that people also anticipated an Egypt set for a long time and then Amonkhet sucked hard.
That's what worries me too. Hopefully it's more Winter/Arctic world but features resonant tropes from Norse myth.
probably don’t have to worry that much
amonkhet was before dominaria and war of the spark happened (after those too they learned they can’t chicken from over powerhouse cards/reprints)
but reminder on that it was Kaladesh fault for that with all those amazing artifacts
and third if you seen the plane chase card of kaldheim there’s like a 99.9 chance that snow permanents return to standard at long last And modern horizons that was the best part about it
And kaldheim photo from plane chase has snow so with out even knowing by default snow is coming back in standard
and for strixhaven two predictions
1. It’s a Harry Potter/hogwarts inspired plane
2. It’s Kasmina‘s home plane plus they mentioned during war of the spark they have plans for her
We got this far down before someone said Harry Potter for Strixhaven. Totally sounds like Harry Potter. Bet they even play Quiddich or whatever.
I am here for this Time Spiral. That was my favorite block of all time.
I wonder how these reprints will affect card prices.
I’m only here for what’s in Time Spiral too. Specifically if they used this opportunity to update wording on those Slivers to “any target”, “enters the battlefield”, “mill”, “permanent”, “menace”, “reach” what have you.
I wonder if there’ll be any planeswalkers in the the D&D set. I know they’re the most popular card type, but I can’t wrap my head around the lore ramifications. Maybe Jace & Chandra can play some D&D...

The choice of Kaldheim is a good hint at this given the planechase card Skybreen shows us it has at least some notable icy regions, and the name Kalheim literally translates to 'cold home'.
I think it's a safe bet Kaldheim will be a wintery world as one its most major themes.
I pray that the remaining three swords with the allied-colored pairings get released in the next Modern Masters set next year, completing the ten card cycle.
My guess? or hope? Regatha or Shandalar.
The Vorthos community will await the consequences of the Eldrazi Titans' deaths/sealing. We will keep the watch.

I mean the strixes are owls and a school for wizards is...you know.
Should be interesting to see Harry Potter mashed with MTG !
Check out my Youtube channel where I upload MTG content videos twice a week!

Hash tag make-Kasmina-trans-WotC?
Are there more books/movies coming out that I don’t know about?

Plus the rare lands are easily the houses there’s 5 of them and you can’t see them as possibly shard colors?
The only thing against is it might be Kykar, Wind's Fury Home plane
Oh for everyone else on strixhaven fair warning if you guys didn’t like the Godzilla promo thing
i can warn you it might happen again with Harry Potter characters
In the announcement video the only thing they said about MH 2 other than it would have MH type stuff in it was that it would have the enemy fetchlands at rare.

He’s the only one of the Lorwyn 5 that hasn’t gotten much of any backstory.
That axe expansion symbol gives me hope!
