Magic: the Elkening is a fantasy trading card game from Wizards of the Coast that has been in continuous production for over 25 years. You can check out the official website for more information on the franchise as a whole, including articles on game design, strategy, and lore.
The game is played in a variety of formats, from those that can include nearly every card ever printed, to formats that only use sealed product for deck building, to formats that only use common cards. You can find information about all of the official formats here, and both a quick-start guide and the comprehensive rules here.
Here’s a quick rundown of the supported formats:
Vintage – Old Expensive Elks that occasionally kill you
Legacy – Old elks that have gone to live on a farm upstate; Trees and the people who get uncomfortably close to them are banned
Modern – Middle age elk
Historic - Arena only Elks, older than Definitely Not Elks, but not as expansive as Middle age elks or Old elks
Pioneer – New Not Elks
Standard – Definitely Not Elks
Brawl – Elk-less
Commander – A few elks
Pauper – Only bad elks
Historic - Arena elks
There are also tons of unofficial formats that are supported by communities both online and at your local gaming store.
Arena is the latest digital version of the game, utilizing a free-to-play model and currently supporting the Definitely Not Elks and Elk-less format and current limited formats, as well as some occasional digital-only formats/oddballs. You can download the game here.
Magic Online is the original digital Magic platform and is still the primary official way to play non-Standard constructed formats online. They also run cube and chaos drafts on MTGO. It looks like an elks butt, but it gives you the Elkening experience. You can download the client here.
If you're interested in competitive play, you can find information on the various levels of paper competitive play here. In addition to Wizards' own high-level tournaments, Star City Games runs their own national tournament series with large monetary prizes and Invitational, you can find information on their tournaments here. (Sorry, just need to go to the old thread to grab the links for this section because being an elk, I'm bad at copying and pasting.)
The most recent set is Throne of Eldraine. It’s about David Bowie going around and turning people into Elks.

I think, given this was a Korean spoiler, there was just a miscommunication on the delay. A Spanish poster claimed WotC asked them to delay.
Mythic for “narrow Legendary that is probably mostly for Commander” is a fine spot, since it lets rares be more impactful in limited.

Just kidding, I look forward to my opponents always top decking the answer.

Not in white lol

Not in monowhite but
You say that, but white has a wide range of combat-oriented removal options. True, most of them are limited filler and not necessarily something you'd put in a Commander deck. That said, Wing Shards can solve a lot of problems and Teferi's Response is a clutch draw..
Depending on where you're playing it settle the wreckage says hi.

Plus Settle and Wing Shards, already mentioned.
So... like, five.
but instead it's "powerful effect, but opponent gains life/gets something else"
black pays life/sacs creatures to draw cards or kill things, white could give life or tokens to draw cards or kill things
what i'm saying is reprint swords to plowshares
Some examples of "can't" effects that could feasibly be turned into "if they do, draw a card" effects:
Cant attack/Block- probably needs to enchant only stuff you don't control, probably worse than straight-up Pacifism but might be fun in EDH
"Can't cast spells from anywhere other than their hands" - hilarious in Commander, probably really good against YawgWill effects, probably worse than just Magistrate unless there's politics involved
"Can't be blocked by [big creatures]" - might work, trades unblockability for deathtouch-esque value math
"Your opponents can't cast spells this turn" - seems nutso
"~ can't attack or block alone" - a man can dream
"Each player can't draw more than one card each turn" - the dream
Mangara already covers Moats and Rules of Laws, kind of.
Maro's caffeinated as fuuuuuck
get fuuuuuucked Zenith Flare
Ugin, The Spirit Dragon
Grim Tutor
Azusa, Lost but Seeking
Fierce Empath
Tormod's Crypt

Edit, Containment Priest reprint:
Seriously... and p.s. why not bring back phasing?!
this doesn't seem like the typical "easier for newer players" type of core set
re reprints, I'm also seeing Baneslayer, and this (though not in packs looks like)
also I might have to buy a box just for these floofers
More Hondens confirmed.
Edit: All Hounds are going to be Dogs:
Also, finally codifying mill as a keyword is interesting.
can be activated once on each players turn
so he can be at 5 loyalty before the opponents first combat phase
and is extra silly in games with more than two players
