There is also this bit;

The in-Magic versions will be available on The List, findable in Set Boosters for as long as players are still interested in opening them. To start, they'll appear on The List more frequently than other cards to make them easier to find. In the future, we may reprint these cards in other products—we'll have that flexibility.

Which sounds they will also appear in sets after New Capenna.

**** partner. If you want to print this cash grab ***** at least don't pollute commander with that

Unfortunately WOTC is very butt hurt over the fact that they do not have final say over format. Hence they keep making cards specifically to mess with it's rules.

Oh totally, thats must be why Sheldon and the RC and CAG are brought in for most major commander products, consulted on card designs that mess with commander and why there are RC and CAG people who work at wizards.

Mike not having Venture is a missed opportunity, because it would have been a perfect occasion to get a Venture commander able to incorporate G to the already established Esper build. I love Sefris, but sometimes I'd really like to be able to play Ellywick Tumblestrum or Varis, Silverymoon Ranger...

And honestly these new cards really are just a middle finger to the player base. They say these will have normal printed versions, but here's the thing. Those prints will be on the list which is about 300 cards that you might get one of for every 4 packs and of those 300 cards there is a heavy amount of cheap chaff cards. They are just making a new kinda mythic that is even harder to get.

As someone else pointed out, every 8 set boosters for New Capenna will have one of these cards. Not 1 in 8 packs with cards from the list, 1 in 8 set boosters period (AKA an average set booster box will have 3-4 cards from this selection). All of them will have equal rarity for pulls as well.

If anything, we will be swimming in the mtg versions of these cards. It’s one of the few things that wizards has done right with this whole situation (while it effectively doubles the rarity of everything else on the list, cards from the list have never been a reliable source of reprint equity and this measure makes it much more likely to get an extra rare in your booster on the whole).

Alright, who drew Peppa Pig for Metalwork Colossus?

I find the Grafdigger's Cage poster card to sound stodgy and boring instead of scary. As over-the-top and exaggerated as Dismember is (IMO, it's the second worst poster card in that Secret Lair, and Grafdigger's Cage is the worst), at least Dismember's text in the poster card looks slightly scary.

Part of me wonders whether the Stranger Things Secret Lair was released first, not just because it fits for Halloween, but also because its characters play Dungeons & Dragons as a pivotal plot point.

What do you wanna bet they did the Mind Flayer because they're already printing the actual Demogorgon in Baldur's Gate?

• Demonlord Belzenlok
  
• Griselbrand
  
• Liliana's Contract
  
• Kothophed, Soul Hoarder
  
• Razaketh, the Foulblooded

As long as we get some old border treatments (for both dominaria sets) I will be happy.

Final Midnight Hunt world building story; The Dusk Reborn by Rhiannon Rasmussen
https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/dusk-reborn-2021-10-01

Looks likes all those wanting the other archangels to be reborn/return will be disappointed.

let me put it this way


is liesa evil from the demons/revenge thirsty from her death…… not even close it looks like she severely regretted doing that and even saved a human and killed the demon she made the deal with. (Well not kill more like prevent him from resurrecting at all)

I smell a easy redemption arch for her and also reunited with Sigarda and helping her and the Gatewatch/Arllin and somewhat sorin to stop Olivia and her wedding in crimson vow.

I definitely see her helping in Crimson Vow, but less of a redemption arc. I don't think she really was shown to need redeeming in the first place. She did something Avacyn didn't like, but Avacyn was not infallible, Avacyn was blinded by the drive to wipe out the darkness without compromise, Leisa had the same goal of bringing goodness, she just tried to be smarter about it.
