Its new arts for the shocklands so safe bet these are for ultimate edition 3 and possible 4 if separated into 5 each

also each seems to be a different plane like the fetch lands were here is each plane

•Godless Shrine: Amonkhet
•Hallowed Fountain: Kylem
•Watery Grave: Ixalan
•Blood Crypt: Innistrad
•Stomping Ground: Tarkir
•Temple Garden: Theros
•Steam Vents: Dominaria
•Overgrown Tomb: Fiora
•Sacred Foundry: Kaladesh
•Breeding Pool: New Phyrexia (I’m interested in the flavor text in this one)


sadly I can wager easily the shock lairs will be $100+ easily

One thing I noticed potentially


I think liliana is gonna be learning green in her colors

Well not sure what are color combos are gonna be but I know wizards will never hear the end of it if Tiamat is not in any of the decks nor the set


(Tiamat is just way way way to perfect for a 5-color legend card.)

Quote from The Lord of Tresserhorn »

EDIT: Oh, and now mention of Witch's Clinic yet? I mean, it's not a total staple, decks with non-combat utility commanders would likely rather have a colored-mana-producing land, but for anything with a beefier commander that wades into battle, this is a pretty good choice. Especially if you have a bunch of "lifegain matters" cards.

I know that’s a staple and to prove this Let me just leave these two guy's here

Heartless Hidetsugu and Greven, Predator Captain

Just to show this

Matt tabak confirmed yedora, Grave Gardener synergies with morph cards (which is code for you can pay the morph cost if a creature with morph dies with yedora in play.)

so it could become a exspensive card because of Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer because yedora could play the role of Mikaeus, the Unhallowed for creatures with morph

Here we go last time with...

mention of worst reprint Ob Nixilis Reignited STOP REPRINTING THIS CARD!

Gavin responded with this on a question on Reddit with how to get old lore characters with today’s commander decks

Good question! As a gigantic fan of the "hey, here's a random old reference" maneuver, I think there are many places for them. Three good ones:

-Ancillary "competitive releases, like Modern Horizons

-Social/multiplayer focused sets, such as Commander Legends and Jumpstart

-The occasional old style "random smorgasbord" commander decks.

(wotcstaff)

so looks like old style (random planes) is still in the design of decks

I can legitimately say this is the dumbest thing I have ever seen

I guaranteed the 2 biggest problems here is people don’t want a lair and are forced to get it and B - member exclusive lairs if they are mechanically unique cards who ever does secret lairs needs to be fired.


the only secret lair I got was the theros gods in constellation form and in the form of singles from kaleidoscope killers (the third could potentially be the dinosaur one coming up but only if Gishath and Zacama are in it.)


any way to do this the right way I say give a severe discount for game stores so they can have access to these cards easier

Well snail slow but 3 cards got revealed but probably by leaks because they are fuzzy wuzzy so maybe collector boosters

I will give a short variant of each under each link

Creature that reduce creature cmc by X life gained each turn

Creature When attacks gain 2 and all other attackers get trample and +X/+X by life gained

https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/mnnbb0/c21_healing_technique/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
The last demonstrate card it’s Basicly regrowth but gain life by mana value and you have to exile it.

https://wpn.wizards.com/en/article/reach-wpn-premium-june-7-get-these-perks

WPN Premium members will also receive an increased allocation of Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Commander Decks for Commander Dueling—casual side events during Prerelease, accessible to anyone whether they're taking part in a main Prerelease event or not.

Shouldn't be too surprising by magic today


anyway reason I’m posting is they said the walker decks still exist for core sets so D&D is not a core set

Quote from Mullerornis »

Did, did they just forget that these are colleges and not Harry Potter houses?

Yeah ... and the general atmosphere I'm getting here is less university and more magical high school too. And reading about Mage Tower is just as boring as reading about Quidditch.

Man, these stories move so fast. The next one is the finale? There's barely time for anything except the most rudimentary beats. I like some stuff that's in here, like the friendship between Quint and Will. But everything is so on rails, it feels hollow.

now next week is episode 4 there should be 5 episodes

The reason I ask the question is because I found this

https://twitter.com/graham_lrr/status/1380300219766632449

Graham stark was opening some strixhaven packs of strixhaven......none of the cards were curled

And to make it even more crazy this was 5 days after opening them.

so if true be cautiously optimistic could this the end for the pringles meme?
