First time posting here in a while, I was BartAllenLives in the pre-Curse days but didn't merge my account in time.
I was just scrolling through Star City Games' website and I noticed they had M20 pre-orders up. When I clicked through I saw this box art of what appears to be Chandra fighting Ugin (Probably because he
tried to hide the fact that Bolas is still alive.)
Anyways, I'm a daily reader of this forum and I haven't seen this posted here yet to my knowledge. Also, I'm so sad to see this site go. I haven't been an active part of the community in a while, but it was the first forum I ever posted on a kid. Thank you to everyone who built this site into such a wonderful community of players.
Do we know if they continue showcasing "lost" stories (aka those that never appeared in a product) like with 2019? Because if so, I would hazard a guess this coreset will be themed around Chandra growing up on Regatha (with the occasional trips elsewhere).

I feel like there is a push to make Chandra the face of Magic now.
Well out of the gatewatch she has the most likeable personality
Mainly because she's a 90% carbon copy of Jaya

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Yeah, that's not Ugin. Plus Chandra fighting Ugin wouldn't make any sense anyway.
It would also lead to a very dead Chandra. At the end of the day, she is still human, and Ugin is a ten millenia plus old dragon that belongs to the first generation of Dominarian dragons.

The art looks like Chandra is fighting an elemental of some sort. There is a storm kinda going on in the background, you can see at least two lightning bolts, so I'm thinking some kind of storm/air/rain elemental. It is def not Ugin or Ugin related.
Also, seeing this along with Exquisite Firecraft art with the Netflix announcement, I'm resigned to the fact we're just gonna get more Chandra going forward. I just think she is boring; any story article with her as the focus I just zone out and end up skimming it until either the end or another character takes over.

As much as this may be true, tell it to Kozilek and Ulamog.

Been a member here for over a dozen years. Playing since '95 just got lost in the twitch shuffle.

No matter how you feel about the ending of the BFZ block storyline, Chandra didn't solo two Titans. Far from it.
And even then she was powered up by Zendikar's Ley Lines. Without the Cooperation of Zendikar's world spirit, the Gatewatch wouldn't have had a chance. Much like what happened when they went up against Emrakul on Innistrad. Had she not decided it was not time for them to fight and imprisoned herself (Boo, bad writing), then Emmy would have won easily, and then devoured Innistrad.

neat art. Looking forward to Core 2020.
Maybe we will get another good Chandra card?
I hope there would be more support for snow in this set.
If they decided that Snow Basics were too "powerful" for Standard, it's unlikely we'll see Snow Permanents. And this goes for people hoping for Viking World with Snow too.

Who said Snow was too powerful for Standard? Snow as a mechanic is only as powerful as WotC wants to make it. I mean you could say something like Icefang Coatl is too good for Standard, but you can't really say that about Snow generally.

It’s a random spirit of some sort
Yea looks like Chandra is the spotlight character now
Well out of the gatewatch she has the most likeable personality
Mainly because she's a 90% carbon copy of Jaya
Chandra has more ADHD and general awkwardness, Jaya has more snark. So it's more like 50%.

How old is Chandra suppose to be?
I don't know much about how old the Gatewatchers are. We got in my book overall Kids, Teens, Young Adults, Middle Age, and Ancients.
She's supposed to be late teens/early 20's if I recall correctly. She is the youngest member of the Gatewatch.
