Masters 25 is upon us! You can buy a Prossh, Skyraider of Kher for $1! Or a foil version for $60! At least Cultivate is down below its usual $1-2 so you can afford to pick up a copy for your ten commander decks all at once! Or maybe you wanna play the Jace roulette! Crack a pack, get a Tree of Redemption! My local game store actually has a No-Tree Guarantee that will replace the tree you opened in-store with a fresh pack, so you can open a Niv-Mizzet instead. Personally, I don't care how wonky the drafts are, I adore the "Cards from every set" gimmick to death.

The upcoming Dominaria had all its interesting cards leaked already. The likely lack of masterpieces has us looking forward to the other most important part of a set: Basic Land art! Will we get the classic artworks or new ones with nostalgic references? Also, there's enchantments that look like this:

    Soooo

    Played Storm tonight. Got to bring in the new sideboard tech and go off with it.

    Casting Pieces of the Puzzle off an active Pyromancers Ascension is DIRTY. Like just some NC-17 rated filth.

    I really really adore the frames. Like I’d LOVE those frames on my Gifts Ungivens in Storm, but I like the original art more.

    FINALLY I CAN BECOME JACE, LIKE I ALWAYS DREAMED.

    Eh, the cards look alright, and they had some pretty good picks, but I probably don't need any of them. I am looking forward to what the other walker's cards look like. I don't know what I'll do if they make one for Kiora.

  • WearingglassesWearingglasses Of the friendly neighborhood variety Registered User regular
    Looking forward to Elspeth, Nissa, Chandra, Lily, and Tamiyo

    Or maybe not, depending on what's in em.

  • Dr. FlamingoDr. Flamingo 49 Gilded Disc Perceives the Sun Registered User regular
    I do like how a lot of the picks are good, often-played cards, rather than just ones with Jace's name on them, though I have to mourn the lack of stuff like Jace's Phantasm or Mind Sculpt. Maybe 8 cards isn't enough? At least you get a 1/8 chance of a foil you want.

    I don't know how long it's gonna take for them to get around to a character that I'm enthusiastic about. There's the six Gatewatch members, then a bunch of other prominent ones like Garruk, Sorin, and Nicol Bolas. And there's definitely room in there for a Jace 2, etc. Elspeth and the like could get bumped up if their moment in the story spotlight lines up just right. But how many of these are they doing a year, again?

    And how will they design the special frame when they do a spellbook for a multicolored planeswalker? Jace's spells have a very unified design, which I like. But if they did, say, Kiora, would they have to find 7 other Blue/Green spells? Or have a mix of Green, Blue, and multicolored cards? And how buckwild are they gonna get with the frames? I fully expect Chandra to be this frame again, but red, and I am totally down for that, but when they get to another blue planeswalker, I want them to look different from Jace's cards.

    That Jace's Spellbook is absolutely lovely.

    Pity it's Jace. And also Blue.

    Get back to me when the Arlinn Kord one comes out.

    it's gonna be funny when they have to make one for gideon and gin up 8 "i hit him with my whip" spells

    It's be easier if Gideon wasn't mono-white. If green or red were allowable he'd have access to a lot more spells that boil down to "FITE ME"

    Misread the title and was confused as to how MTG turned people Asexual.

  • BoomerAang SquadBoomerAang Squad Registered User regular

    Wait, is this saying that the only printing of Firesong and Sunspeaker is the buy a box printing?

    Not a fan of this. Less so if it's standard legal.

  • DaebunzDaebunz Registered User regular
    I mean it doesn't look especially good so I can't imagine it ever becoming more valuable than say, intro deck walkers

    in fact since they will be literally handed out probably not very much at all?

    If Firesong and Sunspeaker become a community favorite for whatever reason, y'all know they'll find other ways to print it.

    Yeah, it works out this time, but the question, as always, is what if they keep doing this and a Buy-a-Box promo card turns out to be really strong?

    Did they reverse the “fnm prizes are only tokens now” thing in addition to every other major decision they made in the last five years
