I know I know we just finished unfinity yesterday (so get it out haters of fatigue) but I do need to remind this would have never happened this soon if unfinity and warhammer 40K Commander decks didn't get delayed.
But we all know brothers war was the only set we were all anticipating
and Tomorrow we get sneak previews for it. (And probably the 40k lairs)
Maybe the pioneer challenger decks and/or game night as well… lots of random products being thrown out these days… or maybe that advent calendar-ish 30 card secret lair. Can’t hope to get it out for the holidays unless they start selling some time in October, I would think.
WotC calling more spoilers "special" is funny when we barely leave spoiler season for more than two days before the next set/product is being hyped up.
This season was extra wired because Unfinity got pushed back from April so we didn’t have a gap between spoiber runs like we would have
Warhammer decks where as well, originally support going to be out in August.

Things I expect from this preview:
- the other 4 painslands
- maybe Ashnod/Tawnos/Gix
- Teferi art
- promos
- people to pretend the entire month of October is constant Brothers' War spoiler season despite around 3-4 weeks of absolutely nothing after this

Probably will mention a tease about Urza and Mishra, but I don’t expect the full cards.
If prereleae is on Nov 11 ad assuming a 3 week spoiler season then it would probably start 2 weeks from now.
Anyway the details will not matter because I am so hyped about this set...
i was super excited for this set, but having warhammer and unfinity sandwiched between this and dominaria made that hype and excitement take a major major major hit for me. i've still barely gotten to use dom cards physically, the conversation switched entirely to 40k, then to unfinity. this ride sucks.
i'm really hoping for a gix, ashnod, and better version of mishra. maybe rusko and his clocks. i'm hoping they don't at all downplay the ravaging of terisaire and argoth in the name of a petty war.

I felt the overwhelm too, but removed Warhammer and Unfinity from my mind's peripheral.
I think they did this sort of event with New Capenna (maybe even DomU) too right?

Yes this is the pre-beat that is for stores to gauge on how much to buy and how to market the set. They tend to do them about a month before the full spoilers start.

I'm guessing we'll find out if that retro border Mishra's Bauble is truly part of the "masterpiece/mystic archive" run for this set. Like maybe we'll see at least one other preview in that same style.
Look, an unblockable 3/2 for 3! That you can play on 2, so it can swing on 3, that can pump itself more, and draw cards later.
Well, looks like Blue will also get on theEvolved Sleeper train as well, these kind of cards always end up finding a home, dropping this guy and protecting it feels like a solid plan, a 5/4 unblockable creature wins games fast.
I appreciate consistent spoilers because not all products appeal to me. It creates a situation where I am more likely to find something to keep me invested in MTG by discovering more that appeals to my specific interests in the game. There have been several sets and products this year for example that I completely ignored due to absolutely no engagement with me, and it felt as if there was a lull in any new interest. I agree with Maro that not every product is for everyone. In order for each individual to find something they desire, there needs to be variety and volume of product. It's not as if every person is obligated to purchase every product they introduce.
The issue I have are all the products that alienate me from MTG, such as the Warhammer 40K nonsense. What a waste of a product. If it pleases others, so be it, but from my perspective, it's a waste of what could have been something more appreciated.
we are finally getting Gix, Hurkyl and Ashnod as cards.
Ps the reason Gix's skin is green instead of white is this is the brothers war era of him. the art of him from Urza saga this is him after yawgmoth released him from punishment
Interesting, although disappointed that the Warhammer Secret Lairs weren't revealed yet.
5 Starter Commander Decks in December. That brings the total to 24 Commander Precons and 1 Draftable Commander set. At least these ones will likely be super cheap, maybe even compared to Kaldheim Decks.

I agree that Surge Engine looks really good but it's not Blue's first crack at this particular Pinata and I'm a little leery as I really expected Ascendant Spirit to do more work so I'm not sure what to make of this.

I think Ascendant Spirit suffered in part because it missed both Curious Obsession and Combat Research. Pioneer spirits runs it and I think a standard with enough other support for mono blue tempo would have seen more of it.

With this, Combat Research, Ledger Shredder, and Spectral Adversary, mono blue tempo might not even want to be a Delver deck anymore.
