MTG Salvation

Additions:

Gadwick is probably reference to Merlin.
Questing Beast is, though obscure, directly taken from Arthurian lore.

Where is Lindon’s card? I missed that.

We have her art from the very first load of Eldraine pictures Wizards provided. It is an educated guess that it is a card art.

Just for the sake of completeness - here it is, as expected.

It actually enters the battlefield tapped unless you control a Swamp.

Indeed. I just copypasted the text from mythicspoiler and did not check it. Fixed.

Castle Locthwain
Land (R)
Castle Locthwain enters the battlefield tapped unless you control a Swamp.

T: Add B.

1BB, T: Draw a card, then you lose life equal to the number of cards in your hand.

A Robin Hood reference, obviously.

My friend, a store owner, raised the question in a FB group. Here is a word of WotC:

- Yes, after Theros, PW decks are Core Set only
- Brawl decks are so far only one-shot for Eldraine, then it will be seen how they fared, but they are definitely not a new regular addition
- There is a new entry-level product coming to replace PW decks.

It's just a PW deck card. Intentionally weaker than the main set version. It has no lore consequences or reasons.

But the deaths of Gideon and Dack ...

And Domri's dead as well.

Since when are Dack and Domri dead?? They really could have made that clear. Dack's Demise and Dormi's Demise coulda been cards.

Erm....

Domri's Demise

And Dack's death is shown in the War of the Spark trailer... he was omitted from the set and added as an afterthought (just to up the count of named casualties by one third), so his death is not carded.

Confirmed by MaRo: https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/184285473028/it-seems-like-domri-dack-and-gideon-are-the-only

Discontinuing PW decks and replacing them with Brawl does not quite make sense. Each is aimed on different target group. Brawl are not entry-level product...

Keeping them only for Core makes sense in that regard, though.

We'll see.

I am looking forward to all of them, but I admit I am less excited for the two returns.

Theros was always a question why, not if. Resolving Elepeth's line was always on the table.
But the deaths of Gideon and Dack quite narrowed the possible storylines

Zendikar III - I will be very curious about the driving storyline here. But I welcome the return to the Indiana Jones world. Plus, the four-color Omnath is almost a given here :-))))

Ikoria - I am really curious what the most crazy mechanic is. I assume something along the lines of augment No idea about the story. And Domri's dead as well.

Teferi Core Set - admittedly the one I am most stoked for. A nice way how to bring back Zhalfir and the times of Mirage and Visions.

So Ono is basically Xenagos with Blue instead of Red right?

Yeah, Oko is basically what Xenagos could have been if not killed. He's less directly violent than Xenagos (blue instead of red), but even more manipulative. Xenagos caused chaos outright, Oko just nudges here and there and enjoys the chaos unravel by itself. Xenagos made Elspeth kill Daxos under a spell, Oko changed Algenus Kenrith to a stag and led it to be the target of the Midwinter hunt in order for the elves to slay it (compelled by spell and tradition) and by that incite the war between the Realms and the Wilds. But he e.g. ordered Garruk to mercilessly slay the King's entourage (two people) before transforming him, so it depends.

And whereas Xenagos was basically content with overthrowing Theros gods, Oko wants to topple every rule-bound sovereign (in his eyes, rules are tyranny), demask hypocrites, liars, false preachers etc.
