Notable is the Invasion of Alara, Invasion of Tarkir and Invasion of Shandalar arts, with a wide aspect ratio, heavily implying that they are battle cards and will be orientated differently than normal cards.
More combo legends, Planeschase in the Commander decks, reprinted legends bonus sheet, booster fun reusing old frames for plane-specific cards.
And preview for Aftermath: 50 cards in 5 card boosters
RIP Linden and ... Algenus, apparently ... Kenrith
And since when is Crapenna Atraxa’s plane of origin?
Its not, but there's flavor text that says Norn sends her to Capenna to deal with the Halo supply there.
The showcase cards in the article show the legendary creatures in the showcase frame of their plane of origin, and Atraxa is shown in the Crapenna frame indicating she is from that plane originally.

Obviously they are taking a little creative license with that statement.
I will say one thing: They made a laudable effort to give this event a proper climax and epilogue despite the rush. I hope, every first revisit to a plane will find room to build from the event.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.
[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
Lots of cool artwork and interesting cards, but holy ***** there's a lot of cards. I've lost track of release honestly. I really dig that Kaladesh Inventions Ragavan. Those inventions are some of my favourite artworks of all time in Magic.
Yeah, I'm getting old ... I don't even feel like reading the rules text anymore. I don't play anyway. Lots of neat artwork, although I'm getting tired of New Phyrexia and the "Marvel vibe" already. It's good to know this story will end here for now.
New Omnath is nowhere near as good as the previous version but the first ability seems like it can be pretty good to work around. Upwelling comes to mind but I couldn't remember If due to the absence of mana burn that you can keep unspent mana as steps and phases end. The second ability allows you to add mana based on cards being revealed which is okay I guess. They still should've went with my idea for 5 color Omnath. Sad they didn't though.
Set name really should of been named "March of the Machines" with a reprint of March of the Machines.

A lot to unpack here, but the return of Planechase is my favorite part of all this. May it stay around this time!

i think that the marvel vibe was there since the Gatewatch
This is blatantly mtg's Endgame, but so was WAR

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.
I think you are projecting too much. The "MARVEL ENDGAME Trope" was alive BEFORE it was made obnoxious by MCU. You could retroactively say The Nine Titans was an Endgame. Chill. It's a not-enfranchised trope. You don't need to "brand it" to fabricate a reason why you don't like it, you simply don't like it and it's okay.
Did anyone catch the final image of the redesign of Urabrask?

But it is totally "Avengers" they're doing. Even the logo of the set looks like a Marvel movie title. It's so obvious it's almost comical.
On a different note, I'll be very disappointed if something like this is taking place and Eldrazi don't show up somehow.
For the first time, Urabrask has the best praetor art of the bunch. I'm in love with this new design; he seems to have upgraded since returning from New Capenna.
I like Norn's art, but it's a little bit understated. It hits the elegant and regal notes, but I was also hoping for something visceral and hard-hitting like her original art, which still has never been surpassed.
There's so much hate on this thread when the set looks amazing so far? I wish they had put Ragavan in another frame because that one is for artifacts, and put Ballista in the main set, but so much of this is just wild

The Gatewatch was always a superhero team, people called it the "Jacetice League" way before Endgame. Not sure their climactic battle having a comic book feel is any kind of new sign.

This is just the end of "phase 1" hehe. I just think it looks too much like marvel stuff now. The art with those giant branch things sticking out look similar to that stuff. And again, the logo itself is straight up super hero movie style. I know they have been trying hard to move away from the more old school looks and stuff, I just think it looks really weird. I'm still interested in seeing the cards from the set, especially if some Eldrazi show up, it's just crazy lots of stuff. The previous set has barely been released too.
Btw for those who missed it, in her art, Sheoldred is riding Drivnod.
I can go further than that for other stuff
chandra Is crying in both planeswalker arts and the borderless one might have halo helping her making that sunsized fireball (easily could be from finding out about nissa and Jace.)
The big compleated dragon on the “invasion of tarkir” art is on further inspection that’s likely not kolaghan when you compare the noses with this
In jin gitaxias borderless art saga side he went back to kamigawa.
The orzhov commander deck face commander… its Brimaz, King of Oreskos the phyrexian caught him.
In the normal compleated omnath art his tentacles might be entering the portals (he might have taken the helm of the realmbreaker)
The yellow dragon in the “invasion of mercadia” art if you look at the horns…is it Ramos, Dragon Engine? The horns are the same.
In the “invasion of alara” art there’s a viashino holding a axe…however… if we look at the spikes back and a staff in the left hand…… that might be Yurlok of Scorch Thrash

That being said, the art looks really really good so far
And since when is Crapenna Atraxa’s plane of origin?

Spoiler EditorHow would this compare to Telling Time?
aaaaaand that cards flavor text is pretty much next to a confession that elsepth will ascend as angel
Same.
Thou shalt not frame images with the modern card face
Thou shalt not change rules in vain
Remember the Reserved List to keep it holy
Honor thy Slivers and the symmetry of their abilities
Thou shalt not kill mana burn
Thou shalt not sacrifice depth for accessibility
Thou shalt not steal combat damage from the stack
Thou shalt tell a story through thy cards
All must be one

Sheoldred's art is disgusting. I approve.
I don't know what everyone is talking about with Urabrask. The design is the same as on Urabrask's Forge plus Wolverine claws. That's it?
