That's right, exclusive cards outside of the Week of Metal. So like in Theros Beyond Death Theme Boosters, Kaldheim's Theme Boosters will also have exclusive cards. These will now also show up in Set Boosters in the headturner slot, the slot in Zendikar Rising Set Boosters that had a showcase common/uncommon.
Now, in both the themed common/uncommon slot of the Set Boosters, and the Theme Booster, are these exclusive uncommons.
So I see some enemy tribal themes BG Elves BW Angels UR Giants WR Dwarves/Equip UG Shapeshifters
Edit: not a fan oh how they are inconsistent with equipment. In Eldraine, works with Knights. In Zendikar, works with Warriors. Now it works with Dwarves. Hopefully we see Dwarf Warriors for some overlap at least.
Especially with changeling as a returning mechanic
The Theros boosters had minotaur tribal support while the main set didn't carry it, I think its a good hint but not set in stone.

“There are no weak Jews. I am descended from those who wrestle angels and kill giants. We were chosen by God. You were chosen by a pathetic little man who can't seem to grow a full mustache"
"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
Absorb Identity is awesome for Shapeshifter tribal decks.
On Arena I'd love to be able to pull of some stupid tricks like Glasspool Mimic, target opponent's Questing Beast with Absorb Identity and cheat a win.
I think I've learned to treat Magic cards like baseball cards: keep 'em in a binder in numerical order, don't play with 'em, try to finish the set and just keep my head down.

OK, where are those mono-black Angels coming from? Rampage of the Valkyries implies they're still Valkyries, but I want a full explanation.
Also, I thought the shapeshifters would be mono-blue or UB, not UG, and definitely not coming in mono-green. Maybe they're winking at series like Warcraft letting their Druids shapeshift?
1) cool cards
2) what is a Tuskeri?
3) valkyries as WB angels are really cool
4) WHERE THE **** ARE MY SNOW CREATUREEEEEEES

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.
Please, mill me. Mill my important cards. Mill my lands. Mill it all. Because I will still deal 20 damage before you can mill 45 cards most every time.
Waiting for someone to go bonkers with the lack of snow in this reveal.
Waiting...
EDIT: Nevermind. ilovesaprolings kicked off the NO SNOW?!? WTF!@@ brigade.
Pretty mad that i made you lose your imaginary game? I get some points for that?

I'm going to consider the mechanics and all at some point, but let's all just take a moment to appreciate the dwarves of Axgard. Axgard.

Heck, every day I wake up, I don't go out and kill people - and I'm rewarded by not having legions of enemies! Amazing how that works.
Although ninjas are experts of camouflage and concealment, they are actually horrible liars. This means that no matter where you are, you can shout out, “Are there any ninjas here?” and if there’s a ninja within earshot, he’ll be compelled to respond.
Interestingly, I think this reveal indicates two things:
1) Given that these are color focused, if snow is a mechanical element, it isn't focused in a specific color and thus must be spread throughout.
2) With the knowledge that enemy colors seem to be tribally focused on creature type, the ally colors may be tribally, or at least thematically, focused on creature "class." Red and Black getting Berserkers, Green and Red getting Warriors, etc. That would be a neat way to make limited more synergistic without getting too "single lane" since each color would have access to more options and potential bonuses.
Gods have to be enemy colored if only 5

Alrund simic
Equivalent of thor izzet
Equivalent of loki golgari
And a boros one, maybe the equivalent of tyr
I really like the white-black Angels for valkyries and the aesthetic of the masked creatures with changeling. The world-building through mechanics is well done on these cards. Great pick for early preview.
My biggest complaint about the article is that the explanation what these cards are and where they'll show up is terrible and seems entirely aimed at those who remember the equivalent product from a previous release.

nothing i really want to go out of my way for outside of some of the elf stuff, but some interesting twists regardless

we don't even have real confirmation it's in, so far, right?
But, I am still holding out for snow....
Pretty mad that i made you lose your imaginary game? I get some points for that?
Yeah, because there's something wrong with people wanting snow from this plane/set lol...
are they the main tribe legends or just in general gods like all the others
speaking of which does Loki even fit for simic?
