The Double Master 2022 debut show starts around 15 minutes after this thread is made. This post will be updated during and after the show to present all the cards previewed during the show. Expect... every card leaked so far.
We have one new card, because 2X2's Limited format can support all ten three-color pairs.
some decent commons and uncommons that have been printed right into the ******* ground... but at least they're playable ones?
this was not the product to include that land in. yeah its one card. yeah its a common. but its in a premium set and is literal garbage after the draft. it could've been almost any other land. i mean ****, exotic orchard might as well be a common at this point because of how hard its been printed over the years, could've just made it that and said done. this should've been in commander legends 2 if anything.
Unfortunately they commissioned the wrong artwork for the Dockside Extortionist reprint because it looks more like a Monkey Pirate than a Goblin Pirate. Did they forget that they were supposed to reprint Dockside Extortionist thinking they were actually reprinting Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer? Looks that way to me. Wonder If they'll correct the artwork for the second print run?

its clearly from ixalan, where goblins are more reminiscent of monkeys, its just leaning into the idea of thieving pirate instead of bureaucrat. they're not going to change the art at this point in the process.
I guess having more senior eldrazi in circulation is good for price points...Considering that Cosi is the most valuable of the three at the moment.
I'm wondering what high-dollar cards they can put in that aren't reserved list. Maybe Imperial Seal will get its day in the sun? P3K version is going for $1787US right now.

Called it in the other thread!
EDIT: Supposedly there's another first-time reprint from P3K happening too. Zodiac Dragon (MTGO doesn't count)? Ravages of War?

really like the imperial seal reprint. maybe i can finally afford one. (without feeling like its a waste of money because it could be reprinted at any moment)
also like bloom tender and teferi's protection showing up here too. they're good cards.
would love a riding the dilu horse, ravages of war, or capture of jingzhou reprint too

The pitch meeting was more than likely the design team at Wizards of the Coast almost forgetting that Dockside Extortionist needed a reprint in Double Masters 2022 when they ended up commissioning unrelated artwork at the last minute due to Hasbro pressuring them to meet a specific deadline. This also explains why there's been so many product delays with each recent release because of how much they keep pumping and dumping Paper Magic products on a constant basis.

If that was the case they just recycle the art since it would take awhile to make new artworks, let alone two new ones, your *again* making some out of nothing when its clear they just decided to have an Ixlana goblin for this art.

That Teferis Protection borderless looks pretty badass.
The fact that Dockside is MYTHIC is just a kick in the balls, that card had to be in Commanders Legends and they intentionally did not.
And to make it mythic is just nasty, thats not fair game, its predatory evil.
Oh should mention but you gonna shoot me down on this
Believe it not they confirmed crypt spires is gonna be legal in commander
Before you shut down from the “enter tapped” part I want to remind all these still swarm edh like locust (the first few pages)(and I don’t really see people paying for shock lands all the time)
The idea to MARK an actual card and to ask players to do that in a non-Un set is mind boggling to me ... (but WotC never disappoints with that)
It is indeed dumb. Better choice would be to pick a color pair when it comes into play.

Hooooh boy, Imperial Seal, the last Sacred Cow before they abolish the Reserve List (which they likely never will).
I don't think they'll abolish but most likely modify/amend if able to. Makes you wonder if they plan on making an announcement about the RL for MTG's 30 anniversary with sweeping amendments to it.

Hooooh boy, Imperial Seal, the last Sacred Cow before they abolish the Reserve List (which they likely never will).
They should've started phasing cards out of the reserved list five years ago. What they should do now is announce that in 10 years a huge number of cards (not including p9) will leave the reserved list. Then in another 10 years after that, the reserved list will be abolished completely. Is anybody gonna be THAT mad that in 20 years the game will be playable again? It's not like old moxen will lose all value. It's not like they would print the cards into the ground (like I with they would). But that's neither here nor there. Just stating the obvious. For every one person who likes the reserved list, there are probably 500 who HATE HATE HATE it.
This set looks cool. I'd pay $4 a pack for it. Heck, I'd even pay $6. But ya know. This isn't for people who like games. It's extortion for people who have been told it's okay to be extorted.
We're supposed to be impressed by all this from a $16 pack. But I say "when will you print it for real?"
It almost doesn't matter what they put in these packs. I'm deeply incensed by this.

Theres no way they ever get rid of the Reserved List.
For casual formats like Commander its basically common practice to proxy the lands, even if you have them (as durdling around with them is just too expensive).
So there is just a tiny subset of cases where people actually "need" the real card to play a tournament for Legacy or Vintage, anything else basically allows proxies by now anyway.

bad news: its mythic so its probably gonna go down to the price range the eldrazi titans usually get
good news is that the card is so good, and so in demand, it won't stay low for long.

There's absolutely no reason to ban it. Each 2 color pair has at least 20 equally good or better dual lands, including about 10 under a dollar.
