I know some players will like it, just like some players liked to get a plane where Pirates and Dinosaurs roamed the "land", but I will definitely stay away from any of these products if they ever see the light of day.

"De potentia juvenis somniabat, nunc de Mundo somniat..."
The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed.
When a seven novel series catches you with the first line.
Being a huge Idris Elba fan I am hoping for a magic card portrayal of him as Roland Deschain in The Dark Tower. I am down with Stephen King's original vision of Deschain as well. Looking forward to some showdown artwork on a character like this.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Actually, a "world-that-has-passed" post-apocalyptic setting would fit more into Magic than a true, realistic "Wild West" setting.
Anyway, whatever may come, all things serve the beam.
It probably would but its been done to death including in MTG already including rather recently. I will take what I get but I am hoping for that true Wild West vibe of new fresh horizons and almost anything goes.

i hate to tell you this
similar reaction to the cyber punk setting on kamigawa revisit from lots of people and yet…third best selling set of all time (the other two is modern masters 2 and D&D forgotten realms)
so similar thing can happen here with cowboy theme plus don’t forget new capenna was mafia with most gun like weapons and cars in modern times
and it is already heavy requested by fans we get a western setting. I know this from blogatog
The road was dusty and broad, peppered here and there with stores that had been in business longer than he had been alive. It was a sleepy sort of place, and Angrath was happy very little had changed.
A little plume of smoke was rising from his foundry. A hand-painted window on the outside read "OPEN" in blocky lettering. The building was little more than a shack on the far end of town, but it had been his shack on the far end of town. Piles of iron and metal were stacked outside, and a number of items and weapons were hung on a rack, each tagged to mark which order was which.
Angrath's ear flicked as he heard the clang of metal and sizzle of water inside.
He approached, and his chains clanked with each step he took.
Angrath ducked slightly to avoid hitting his head on the doorway (he could still make out the bumps in the wood from every time he had forgotten) and paused as he looked for the blacksmith at work.
Two minotaurs glanced up from their anvils. They were tall like their mother had been. They wore bulky leather aprons, and their horns were adorned with the jewelry worn by unmarried women of their age.
Their eyes went wide. The one on the right snorted in shock. The other's ears stood up in surprise.
The one on the right sniffed the air and trembled with emotion. "Father?"
Steam softly hissed where Angrath's tears met his skin. He smiled.

Thanks for those points. People can rail against a Wild West set but its going to happen. There are only so few more genres out there for them to explore it will happen sooner than later. And they have already crossed the line in the sand some have drawn and it doesn't phase them. If they are going to have this "some products may not be for you" attitude then there isn't much else to do but skip it and wait until they come up with something you do like. And yes and Western set is going to run for 3 months for cripes sake and then there will be another set coming out. Wild West is PAST due!!!
Oh and don't be shocked when Space Set comes out down the line as well. It will happen. For those who aren't that old go search "SpellJammer" by TSR for an idea.

Spelljammer is actually being rolled out in DND 5th edition right now. There is a lot of free stuff for it on DND beyond for those who are interested. As for the wild west discussion I'm not against it but a part of me thinks that it's not legit. The card that has the Kekai Kotaki art kind of brings up some red flags just because it seems like that's an artists personal piece and I don't see a company lifting artwork even for markups because they don't own the image. I'll be ok if I'm wrong because the card frames are really nice.

Embrace the dark you call a home,
Gaze upon an empty, white throne
A legacy of lies,
A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone
Spelljammer is actually being rolled out in DND 5th edition right now.
Which means Magic won't be far behind you can rest assured.
The "leak" may indeed be a fake, but Wild West will be coming at some point, sooner than later. A good thing in my humble opinion.

You are aware we already got a space themed set with unfinity right heck half of the commons/uncommons and a fourth of the rares/mythics are gonna be eternal legal
but yes the point is we will get a cowboy set down the line.

Yes, but Standard Space Set making it legal for also Pioneer and Modern. Unfinity is the "test" run.
The point is there are almost zero genres left to explore and Wild West very well be the last one they have not done yet so it is inevitable.

If they actually do a western set I hope they get the genocide & racism right.
This. The Wild West erased a lot of indigenous Americans and the cowboys v. indians trope was way too flogged in Hollywood lore.
They have some smart writers on there so I'm not too worried, but cowboys v. purple worms idk. There would have to be very few non-humanoid monsters to get me to on-board with money. Make it as close to the setting as possible.

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
I am a little curious on what mechanics or potential mechanics would add flavor or be a good fit for the set. Ideas?
I would love a mechanic to be called Quickdraw. But that seems to be covered by Haste. Although bringing Spilt Second back would be cool I am not sure how high that ranks on the Storm Scale. Hideaway could see another appearance potentially. Exalted could fit a Lone Ranger type thematically. I had already mentioned Horsemanship. But I am wondering what new mechanic could fit potentially.
Posse would be a cool named mechanic if it worked similar but fixed Banding I suppose. Just a thought.

Lastly: Could we see this set as early as next year in Q3 as "Lacrosse" or Q4 as "Offroading"?

I don't think so for Lacrosse. Lacrose is a part of the Phyrexia 4 set story narrative. I could be wrong but I think it's more likely that the two sets following Brother's War are going to be on New Phyrexia. The part that kinda confuses me is that Marathon is getting an epilogue set. I have a theory that the epilogue will be called Mirrodin Pure. I don't know if they are going to introduce a new plane amongst this storyline I think it'd make it worse for people who want the wild west set to be in the middle of a big storyline. Imagine them introducing Eldraine in between Ravnica Alliance and War of the Spark it would have taken steam out of both the hype of Eldraine and War of the Spark. So TLDR I don't think they'd introduce this plane until after the Phyrexia war.

Offroading would be a more apt naming convention for a Wild West set. I think it would be the earliest it would show up. If not maybe Q1 or Q2 of 2024 then. I think we find out next years sets on August 18th.

YEah Lacrosse is the Q1 2023 set (What Neon Dynasty was to Q1 2022).
If we have Mirrodin Pure that'd be bombs. They have the set symbol templating all set to go, so I hope this will be an elegant way to stifle the Phyrexians and drive them back to their original plane.
I want to know what they'll do for an arc following the Phyrexian one. Is this concluding the new planeswalker arc that started in Throne of Eldraine? Or is this a story within a story? The build up to this one has been rather scattered, but looks like they aren't squandering/rushed it like they did with the War of the Spark arc. '
I'd suspect that any Wild West would be relegated to the Q3/Q4 releases (Sept/Nov) of 2023. Or maybe it's a specialty set for the summer. Who knows.

It might need some tweaking, but I think that there should be a shuffle before clashing for lack of a better mechanic, otherwise you can manipulate the deck with cards like Play with Fire otherwise you diminish the flavor a bit.

Why are we bringing back a failed mechanic and removing the one thing that made it at all interesting? I'm sure R&D has it in them to make a new "duel" mechanic that actually plays well.

The deck manipulation aspect is part of the game and should be kept in my opinion. Stacking the deck in your favor is a VERY Wild West card mechanic. No shuffling beforehand either as it eats up too much time. But again I think the mechanic or a tweaked similar mechanic would be VERY playable, flavorful and fitting.

I know some players will like it, just like some players liked to get a plane where Pirates and Dinosaurs roamed the "land", but I will definitely stay away from any of these products if they ever see the light of day.
Being a huge Idris Elba fan I am hoping for a magic card portrayal of him as Roland Deschain in The Dark Tower. I am down with Stephen King's original vision of Deschain as well. Looking forward to some showdown artwork on a character like this.

Check my Pauper Cube!
Actually, a "world-that-has-passed" post-apocalyptic setting would fit more into Magic than a true, realistic "Wild West" setting.
Anyway, whatever may come, all things serve the beam.
It probably would but its been done to death including in MTG already including rather recently. I will take what I get but I am hoping for that true Wild West vibe of new fresh horizons and almost anything goes.

i hate to tell you this
similar reaction to the cyber punk setting on kamigawa revisit from lots of people and yet…third best selling set of all time (the other two is modern masters 2 and D&D forgotten realms)
so similar thing can happen here with cowboy theme plus don’t forget new capenna was mafia with most gun like weapons and cars in modern times
and it is already heavy requested by fans we get a western setting. I know this from blogatog
oh And it’s likely gonna be Angraths homeplane

It looked just like he remembered.
The road was dusty and broad, peppered here and there with stores that had been in business longer than he had been alive. It was a sleepy sort of place, and Angrath was happy very little had changed.
A little plume of smoke was rising from his foundry. A hand-painted window on the outside read "OPEN" in blocky lettering. The building was little more than a shack on the far end of town, but it had been his shack on the far end of town. Piles of iron and metal were stacked outside, and a number of items and weapons were hung on a rack, each tagged to mark which order was which.
Angrath's ear flicked as he heard the clang of metal and sizzle of water inside.
He approached, and his chains clanked with each step he took.
Angrath ducked slightly to avoid hitting his head on the doorway (he could still make out the bumps in the wood from every time he had forgotten) and paused as he looked for the blacksmith at work.
Two minotaurs glanced up from their anvils. They were tall like their mother had been. They wore bulky leather aprons, and their horns were adorned with the jewelry worn by unmarried women of their age.
Their eyes went wide. The one on the right snorted in shock. The other's ears stood up in surprise.
The one on the right sniffed the air and trembled with emotion. "Father?"
Steam softly hissed where Angrath's tears met his skin. He smiled.
"Rumi. Jamira. I'm home."
Thanks for those points. People can rail against a Wild West set but its going to happen. There are only so few more genres out there for them to explore it will happen sooner than later. And they have already crossed the line in the sand some have drawn and it doesn't phase them. If they are going to have this "some products may not be for you" attitude then there isn't much else to do but skip it and wait until they come up with something you do like. And yes and Western set is going to run for 3 months for cripes sake and then there will be another set coming out. Wild West is PAST due!!!
Oh and don't be shocked when Space Set comes out down the line as well. It will happen. For those who aren't that old go search "SpellJammer" by TSR for an idea.

Spelljammer is actually being rolled out in DND 5th edition right now. There is a lot of free stuff for it on DND beyond for those who are interested. As for the wild west discussion I'm not against it but a part of me thinks that it's not legit. The card that has the Kekai Kotaki art kind of brings up some red flags just because it seems like that's an artists personal piece and I don't see a company lifting artwork even for markups because they don't own the image. I'll be ok if I'm wrong because the card frames are really nice.

Sing with me a song of conquest and fate

Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone
Which means Magic won't be far behind you can rest assured.
The "leak" may indeed be a fake, but Wild West will be coming at some point, sooner than later. A good thing in my humble opinion.

You are aware we already got a space themed set with unfinity right heck half of the commons/uncommons and a fourth of the rares/mythics are gonna be eternal legal
but yes the point is we will get a cowboy set down the line.
Yes, but Standard Space Set making it legal for also Pioneer and Modern. Unfinity is the "test" run.
The point is there are almost zero genres left to explore and Wild West very well be the last one they have not done yet so it is inevitable.

This. The Wild West erased a lot of indigenous Americans and the cowboys v. indians trope was way too flogged in Hollywood lore.
They have some smart writers on there so I'm not too worried, but cowboys v. purple worms idk. There would have to be very few non-humanoid monsters to get me to on-board with money. Make it as close to the setting as possible.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
I would love a mechanic to be called Quickdraw. But that seems to be covered by Haste. Although bringing Spilt Second back would be cool I am not sure how high that ranks on the Storm Scale. Hideaway could see another appearance potentially. Exalted could fit a Lone Ranger type thematically. I had already mentioned Horsemanship. But I am wondering what new mechanic could fit potentially.
Posse would be a cool named mechanic if it worked similar but fixed Banding I suppose. Just a thought.

I don't think so for Lacrosse. Lacrose is a part of the Phyrexia 4 set story narrative. I could be wrong but I think it's more likely that the two sets following Brother's War are going to be on New Phyrexia. The part that kinda confuses me is that Marathon is getting an epilogue set. I have a theory that the epilogue will be called Mirrodin Pure. I don't know if they are going to introduce a new plane amongst this storyline I think it'd make it worse for people who want the wild west set to be in the middle of a big storyline. Imagine them introducing Eldraine in between Ravnica Alliance and War of the Spark it would have taken steam out of both the hype of Eldraine and War of the Spark. So TLDR I don't think they'd introduce this plane until after the Phyrexia war.

Offroading would be a more apt naming convention for a Wild West set. I think it would be the earliest it would show up. If not maybe Q1 or Q2 of 2024 then. I think we find out next years sets on August 18th.

YEah Lacrosse is the Q1 2023 set (What Neon Dynasty was to Q1 2022).
If we have Mirrodin Pure that'd be bombs. They have the set symbol templating all set to go, so I hope this will be an elegant way to stifle the Phyrexians and drive them back to their original plane.
I want to know what they'll do for an arc following the Phyrexian one. Is this concluding the new planeswalker arc that started in Throne of Eldraine? Or is this a story within a story? The build up to this one has been rather scattered, but looks like they aren't squandering/rushed it like they did with the War of the Spark arc. '
I'd suspect that any Wild West would be relegated to the Q3/Q4 releases (Sept/Nov) of 2023. Or maybe it's a specialty set for the summer. Who knows.

Elspeth and Jhoira rock my world.
What about clash? Its almost like poker with the revealing the top cards of the deck.
Maybe something like High Ground?

Interesting. Thanks for the reminder. Clash (or something like it) would be pretty flavorful.

It might need some tweaking, but I think that there should be a shuffle before clashing for lack of a better mechanic, otherwise you can manipulate the deck with cards like Play with Fire otherwise you diminish the flavor a bit.

Why are we bringing back a failed mechanic and removing the one thing that made it at all interesting? I'm sure R&D has it in them to make a new "duel" mechanic that actually plays well.
The deck manipulation aspect is part of the game and should be kept in my opinion. Stacking the deck in your favor is a VERY Wild West card mechanic. No shuffling beforehand either as it eats up too much time. But again I think the mechanic or a tweaked similar mechanic would be VERY playable, flavorful and fitting.
