Here's Teferi showing off the showcase frame and his temporal magic.
Here's Ugin and all the possible alternate frame treatments for planeswalkers.
Here are some borderlessreprints. There are four other reprints with this borderless treatment. Besides these two, we have an uncommon, two rares, and another mythic.
This Masticore has extended art.
And the Buy-a-Box promo, showing Cats and Dogs can get along.
You know that really confusing mechanic that no-one ever really gets? I know, I know you're thinking "banding" but banding is simple compared to this... well let's put it back in a Core set. I for one, love it, but I wonder if it's going to be better understood this time around.
Stop it with the phasing is confusing thing.....it's not and very simple (the reminder text on Teferi's Protection is very basic)
What the hell is with 4 different arts for teferi, took me 10 minutes to figure out the wobbles are different colors
Oh Man..... borderless Grim Tutor
The Ugin looks sweet

At a guess, looking at how it's used on Teferi, they're probably sticking to just "phases out", rather than cards that actually have Phasing. The way Phasing worked on a permanent was the confusing part, where pointing at a thing and going "That doesn't exist until my/your next turn" is pretty intuitive.
Edit: It also probably helps that the rules around phasing have been cleaned up a ton in the intervening years. For a long time, it triggered leave the battlefield effects, but not enter the battlefield effects? It was a mess. Eventually they figured out the wording to make it just be "this is treated as though it doesn't exist", but that was well after phasing had stopped being used.

True, but I do think players using this new Teferi will get some feel-bads when they activate to phase out an opponent's creature on their own turn, only to have it come right back on the opponent's turn and be able to attack Teferi.
Also, that borderless alternate-art Ugin is GORGEOUS.
Aha called it in the Vito thread. Shard colours rather than wedges.
But that's AWESOME art for the dog/cat. That Masticore is most likely a sideboard card at most as cool as it may be. Containment Priest is now modern and pioneer legal. Wow. There are so many good mythics (and rares) in this set that it easily overtakes the last few Core Sets combined. Lots of value to be had here.

Nice maybe Grim Tutor will be a better price, it is a fairer D tutor after all. Ugin always looks nice. Also nice to see Super Friends hate with the Masticore.
I'm really not sure what they were trying to do with those Teferi promos. If they wanted to show off time manipulation across several cards why didn't they do it more... I mean, if you had shown me each in isolation or all just at a glance I wouldn't even notice a difference.
I'm not even sure I notice a noteworthy difference after staring at them for 5 minutes.

As the circle magic gets darker, the background Weatherlight gets older.

I'm with you, it is WAYYYY too subtle.
You can't even tell really. I guess they didnt want one becoming a Super Chase or something.
They are basically indistinguishable

I like the cards. I am tired of the borderless treatment for alternate art cards. I'm probably in the minority there, but I like uniformity in my decks and I like the cards to look like magic cards. Wish Wizards would leave the borderless alters to the community.

Blake drops this, and we get a lot of promo treatments for this set.

That masticore is quite powerful actually, looks like a staple to me.
This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.

Unless they errata some creatures into dogs.

That would be every Hound.
Maybe it's possible all hounds are being changed to dogs? Doubtful, but it seems strange to essentially make a new creature type here.
Which is fine, there are a lot of good cats, and the payoff for casting cats is much better. You get a dog (that also taps for damage)
Mark just literally said the hounds are being errata’d to dogs
And there's probably a truck load of dog tribal stuff in here
What's not to like?
RUNIN: Norse mythology set (awaiting further playtesting)
FATE of ALARA: Multicolour factions (currently on hiatus)
Contibutor to the Pyrulea community set
I'm here to tell you that all your set mechanics are bad
#Defundthepolice
Any they are gonna dogpile the dog tribal stuff in core 2021 and jumpstart
And we got 60 dogs right here to choose from at this moment (silver border included for those groups that allow it)
