There were are set of five 40 card starter decks that LGS's were given to hand out to new players they contain a few cards (1 rare in each) that are considered part of the set but are not available in the booster packs. These cards are legal to play in any format that the set is legal in. Also Origins got the same treatment.
hhhmmm I'd convinced myself that Leyline's were going to be a possibility in this set, (a mixture of the Uncharted realms articles regarding Nissa talking about the importance of leylines and my own optimism ) Whilst the number Crunch still supports this, the rare count does not so I'm guessing that's out until Oath (if it will even be a thing there)
Stores can sanction an event at any time so long as they have enough players. However, for FNM it has to be scheduled ahead of time in order to receive the promos. This means the format is decided when it is scheduled. So if people show up hoping to draft for FNM and it is scheduled to be a standard tournament the TO can sanction a draft and run it however the promos are not for that event and must be given out in connection to the scheduled standard FNM event.
A Plane is like a dimension. Some have one planet some have multiply. They are all different sizes. The locations we visit as players are almost always on a body that is similar to a planet.
i thought this as well
I agree with this line of thought
This is most likely ment to be a simic card from Ravnica that would make it a hybrid of 2 other creatures therefore it's a fish lizard.
My bet is on terror.
However, negate only counters non-creature spells, Siumgar's Scorn counters any type of spell.
