    Could it mean that we might see an evergreen/disidous mechanic out of Runes? Like them using it to just name an already existing mechanic like how Aura was?

    A la an Artifact Enchantment for instance?


    Rune is probably just a subtype of enchantment with no specific mechanical rules attached, so they don't need a rules blurb to describe it.




    That makes sense. I guess I was just hoping that it would be something....more. Like at least something like curse or what not.

    If you need an explanation on how the new mechanics, here's the mechanic article is up. Oddly enough, no mention of Runes.

    I think Niko Aris has me wanting to rebuild my Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper deck again after just fully transforming it into Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor. I think I might really do this, making my giant monster land unblockable, plus the ability to scry/draw as needed would be nice.

    I just have to say right quick, I love how Tibalt looks like the lead singer of Saltatio Mortis, especially from a few of his music videos.

    Will runes be artifacts, enchantments, or a new type?

    Maybe they will be like artifact sorcery/instants? IDK if that would work, but it would be how I would do them.

    As a note to everyone calling the creature a he, Sigrid is a feminine name just as a note. Figured I through this out there.



    Also, I am liking where white is going in this set.

    I don't know if this was posted, but the guy who pulled the Vorinclex did a light test video on youtube. I don't have the link (I saw it on FB on my phone in a commander group) but it looked real from the vid.


    thats this

    Yes, this video! Thank you!

    I'm thinking the Toughness instead of Power might be for Crewing. Vehicles are a sub-mechanic with the dwarves (as well as equipment and treasure it seems) so I could easily see crewing with toughness working out.



    Oh you know what


    “If you crew with a dwarf use it’s toughness instead of power”




    Magda, Brazen Outlaw certainly suggests that Dwarves will have a crew/vehicles theme. Her ability plays right into it. However, Dwarves have never been depicted as a tribe that has higher toughness than power. Unless that's all going to change with Kaldheim, but ever Magda herself has lower toughness than power, so I'm not sure...

    I just feel that crewing with toughness rather than power needs to have a significant advantage, which we currently don't see anywhere.


    Could be an advantage. More crewing means more tapping, and if tapping to do things is on multiple dwarves (which Magda leans towards, though one card does not a pattern make) and could be a reason why. just a random thought. Honestly it might not even be with dwarves themselves but instead on one vehicle or what not.

    Looks like ships are in kaldheim so that means crew is probably entering as a returning mechanic which could also mean the sea monsters known in noise mythology are probably here

    Also there seems to be a drake or dragon in the background

    Yeah it will be a matter of time before cards get leaked




    Wait, isn't crew one of those mechanics that just can show up in any set as it's the main mechanical part of vehicles?


    Yes vehicles are a deciduous mechanic (vs evergreen mechanic like flying, trample ect) that design can use in any set they want to for flavor or design needs. Hybrid, Protection, Prowess and colored artifacts are also here.




    The reason I asked was because OP said that it was probably a "Returning Mechanic" and I was pretty sure it was deciduous (couldn't think of that word earlier hahaha, the joys of responding right when I wake up lol.)
