Would be fun if they make a showdown or standoff mechanic where you need to duel or something.
Most definitely.
The demon looks more like Rakdos to me. Don't think Huatli would be there, she's hardly a villain after all.
Good points, on second inspection that is not Huatli nor her armor. Looks like a new Legend or Walker definitely with Southwest Native American themed gear. And yes that very well could be Rakdos not Ob Nix, I think you are on the right track. Interested in the little Gobbo guy as well. Still don't have any clue as to who the last figure is.
All I can think of seeing this is I'll be 39 in 2026.... What the **** happened man
Time happens my friend and I left 39 behind a LONG time ago. I am happy I lived to see a WildWestern themed set pardner. Enjoy the game.
Anyone want to speculate who is in the picture in front of Oko in Thunder Junction? I believe I see Oko, Vraska, Huatli and is that Ob Nixilis? But who is the little guy? A new walker? And then the last one I can't figure out either, a short-ish male or female?
Aggregated data from last two months from all events show representation for rdw at ~10%, multiple decks with black running playsets of sheoldred amounting to ~20%, 5c at ~10%. Excluding smaller events makes this ~5% for rdw, ~40% for decks running 4x sheoldred and ~10% for 5c and esper each. Decreasing the window to last two weeks for all events shows something in between results from those two timeframes. Soooo there really is a question from where your "Red is clearly the best deck no question" comes from. Hmmm?
Thank you. Clearly that person doesn't know how statistics work and ignores what the meta is shifting to in the last 2 weeks. Only using what they probably see on Arena as anecdotal evidence. The shift in competitive play is to black black black (and the statistics prove it) and when that member looks in the face of facts has to resort to insults to prop up their invalid theory. When the bans come I will make sure to post up WotC reasoning (which they always include) right here to validate what I have said.
Looks like it may not be Wild West enough for me but I will take what I can get at this point. Can't all be villians, got to be some good guys (and gals) riding to the rescue I would hope. Oh and just wanted to say, told ya' so.
This is the part I don't understand with the decision to extend the rotation season for Standard sets. This can all be solved if they had allowed sets to rotate out as they would have under the previous rotation schedule. But going three years instead of two is going to create a whole lot of problems and design won't catch up until roughly two years down the line.
You had it on last 60 days. Click it to last 14 days and you will see black right up at the top. Meta is shifting to black black and black in Standard.
What I would like to see, at least once, is a (re)visit to displaced planes in Magic's early days
At some point they will have to. There are only so many unique genres for Planes left. So it is either revisits to older planes or making up new planes that are just rewarmed mishmashes of current existing planes. So I think we will get to see places like Ulgrotha, Lorwyn, Alara, etc within the next 5 years I would think.
Sheoldred is hardly the card to go in standard. Mono red is the best deck in the format easily and it plays zero copies of it. In fact, sheoldred is one of the few cards in standard to keep red aggro in check.
Incorrect. Look at the metagame numbers. Mono R at 2.5% play and although a tier deck, its a Tier 2 deck at this point. Its Black-fest in Standard right now.
Modern needs bans, Pioneer needs bans. If so I may come back to them, if not they will remain dead to me.
As for Standard Sheoldred, the Apocalypse needs to go. The format is Black and Bxx decks with this OP card a 4 of in all of them. Warping the format and needs to go. 57% of meta/tier decks running basically 4 of, making every other deck have an answer for this crappy designed card. They could tack on You must pay 4 life in addition to Sheoldred's casting cost and people would still run it and it would still be the #1 played creature in Standard. Think about that for a minute.
So did I miss out on why Old Rutstein has a western style hat and duster?
Is that information still coming soon?
well correct me if I’m wrong but I think we have a omenpath system for people to go to different planes
Yes Omenpaths are a possibility, but that hasn't been officially released yet. I am asking if I missed something in this release and when can we expect the official explanation.
I for one am actually feel that planeswalkers need to take a background role like they were in Magic up to Lorwyn. The emphasis should be on the player being an interplanar traveller and the exploits we dare to endeavour.
Agreed 100%!!! You and I are the planeswalkers and card-walkers are our allies and tools of OUR plans.
And looking more at the demon, that is Rakdos with the horns, the fire out of the head and the weapon.
Most definitely.

And as a big AC player and fan, actually looking forward to this set. Bring on Eivor!!!

Thank you that was what I was looking for. We have a very specific timeframe at least now.
I also think we are at 1 week down of "the next 2 weeks" in this teaser, so time is ticking.

Nothing was announced or answered from the Eldraine/Who reveal the other day.
