the ad
okay it's back on it's back on okay it's
back on
okay here we go here we go i'm gonna
make this full screen
okay it's asking us questions
mark rosewater famously had a tough time
getting his co-workers excited about the
idea of a land's matter set
eventually he made it happen hated by
nicknaming the world
what a silly name
or landbrush wait why is there like two
answers left
i feel like a and c went away
it was lanzapalooza that would
officially go on to become zendikar a
world
all about lands the original zendikar
featured a whopping 20 non-basic lands
and mechanics like landfall that really
cared about lance
finally the vision of a land-focused
world was complete
some of magic's most popular cards were
born on zendikar
and some of the characters introduced
there are coming back in zendikar rising
and you'll see which of these green
cards
first appeared in the zendikar set was
it nissa ravine
avenger of zendikar harrow
or omnath locus of mana
what are you guessing
is uh zooby says the mentor of
zendikar that was obviously wrong
oh i was right
zendikar is a world full of adventure in
peril
with daring souls who explore lands in
search of untold treasure
at the heart of all this change is the
royal a mysterious force on zendikar
that creates an incredibly volatile
earth and climate
that can cause the ground underneath you
to crack or
begin floating in the air
the follow-up to zendikar was the
incredibly popular world wake set
now world wake upped the adventure even
further and brought new twins
had a lot in it but which of the
following did not first appear in
worldwide
was it landfall on instance and
sorceries the multi-kicker mechanic
a planeswalker with four abilities or a
legendary
elemental um
okay hi kioji world wake
i've literally never heard of
i'm trying to figure out this sound
thing so
bear with me i'm turning it down while
they're not talking
worldwide had a lot in it which of the
following did not appear a planeswalker
with four abilities
that's my answer c c
are we watching you watch the zendikar
rising stuff yes you
are that's exactly what this is you're
watching me
watch the thing a legendary elemental
it was a legendary element set took the
focus off of lance
and shifted it on to the gigantic
creatures known as the eldrazi
they were trapped on zendikar millennia
ago by three planeswalkers
but in this set a different three
planeswalkers jace
chandra and sarkin convened in the eye
of ugin and accidentally set them free
unleashing them on the world of zendikar
changing the multiverse
forever the three planeswalkers that
originally locked away the eldrazi on
zendikar
were sorin ugin and who
was it
because i'm pretty sure it was nahiri
right they worked together
and then they got mad at each other
that's my guess
oh it was urza what do you all what do
y'all think
okay jake says nahiri as well
oh you were laughing that erzo was one
of the answers gotcha
it is nahiri nihiri
eventually went to tarkir to look for
ugin jason
chandra also left the plane and then
eventually
the story picks back up in the set
battle for zendikar
what year did battle for zendikar
release
was it 2014 2015
2016 or 2017. i'm going to say
2014 2014.
i'm a crap player but i know my lore
um okay zooby says 2016. i said 2014 but
i literally have no idea i just guessed
colin says 2016. well guess i'm wrong
no it was 2015. it was actually six
months ago
nahiri asked soren to help with the
eldrazi escape then sauron went
new phone who it is it's true right
it's true so
the planeswalkers of battle for zendikar
take an oath
to protect the multiverse from any and
all threats
i feel like these planeswalkers take a
lot of oaths
oh that was the gatewatch okay the
multiverse was represented by a cycle of
oath
enchantments which of these characters
did not get an oath
in oath of the gatewatch was it chandra
jace nissa or liliana
chase it was jace it was jace right
my guess is jace
what is it what's the answer
liliana
why
it's not oath of nissa okay
it's not i feel like i've heard of oath
of chandra oath of nisa
and oath of liliana i've never heard of
an oath of jace
i don't think
oh there it is there it is why did this
just get into the events of the battle
for zendikar block
zendikar is slowly returning back to
normal many residents of the plane are
back to their adventuring ways
and the royal is plenty active and
uncovering all sorts of new lands
and speaking of the new lands in
zendikar rising mark rosewater told the
world all about the new duel lands
how many did he say that there would be
was it
5 6 10
or 11. i have no idea
we're gonna refresh is it gonna make me
watch an ad
i use ice cream as kind of a medicinal
purposes you know
it totally is what was the answer
we're not going to see what the answer
is
okay
okay it was six what did i say five i
think i said five
obviously i was wrong
okay i was about to say this video
better not freeze up like right before
it starts
i i don't know about this land thing but
i don't know what that is
obviously it's usually five
yeah you're yeah that's what i thought
who's that
careful
nahiri we need to leave
go
got you
like
and earth
is this what you want
what is this
sarah sarah
no
turn to stone
what is this thing nahiri
no more storms or disasters no more
hellish monsters
this is our chance our chance
xerox chance
no
it seems like you should destroy it not
just drop it
i'm so sorry i carry i
truly am
what's up everybody i'm jimmy wong and
i'm becca scott and we are here today to
tell you about
zendikar rising the newest set for magic
the gathering that's right jimmy as you
know zendikar is all about adventure
exploration and reward and it's full of
floating hedrons
skyclaves and of course the royal and
because it is an adventure world
we're here today on our adventure set
and we're about to go on a little
adventure of
our own but before we get into it let's
find out what's been happening on the
world of zendikar
oh hi jimmy and becca welcome back to
zendikar i hear you're about to go on
adventure to learn about the card set
so let me tell you a little bit about
what's been happening on this plane
since the last time we were here the
eldrazi
are gone but the royal is still a pretty
serious threat
it's like this world's natural defense
system you have to watch out for those
unexpected earthquakes
and lava elementals definitely watch out
for the lava elementals and as we saw in
the trailer nahiri
is willing to do anything to get rid of
the royal and i think it'd have some
serious repercussions here on the plane
so good luck on your adventure actually
you might need some companions to kind
of help watch your back so let me
introduce you to the planeswalkers that
you're going to meet here on zendikar
first up we have nahiri air of the
ancients two
red white this card features nihiri
standing in front of a repaired sea gate
and it comes in this beautiful
borderless treatment featuring nahiri
descending into a cavern looking for an
ancient core artifact
next up we have jace miramage one blue
blue and here in this card
we've got jace featured back to back
with his illusion who's acting as his
bodyguard
this also comes in an amazing borderless
treatment that features jason as double
surrounded by vignettes of his
adventures within the sky clays with
zendikar
nissa is also here on zendikar and i'm
really excited to show you these two
pieces of art
in this one she's descending a floating
staircase of skyclave looking for
something
and in this amazing piece of art which
will be on her borderless card
you can see nissa exploring the wilds of
zendikar looking hopeful as the land
restores itself now that the eldrazi are
gone
i hope those planeswalkers help keep you
company i have one more bit of
information before you go
if you're interested in learning more
about what our heroes are up to in
zanderkar rising
we're going to be releasing web fiction
that'll fill you in on all of those
details
so keep an eye out for that soon until
then good luck bye
thanks maris that was awesome becca what
do you say shall we get into it
let's do it jimmy but you know what we
could cover more ground if we split up
oh good idea let's do that
all right adventure adventure
what does it mean yeah hey everybody
like many of you i'm adventuring from
home so let's talk about that jace card
we just saw
it had kicker a fan favorite mechanic
that we are very excited to bring back
in zendikar rising
let's check out a new card with kicker
and that's blood chief's thirst
okay blood chiefs thirst this is a
sorcery for one black mana
with kicker two in a black you may pay
an additional 2b
as you cast this spell destroy target
creature or planeswalker with converted
mana cost 2 or less
if the spell was kicked instead destroy
target creature or planeswalker
great in the early game for taking out
small threats fantastic in the late game
for taking out anything
kicker is awesome and it gives you a ton
of flex okay late in the game you've got
a lot of extra mana
dump it into some super powerful spells
that brings us to our other returning
mechanic for zendikar rising
it's landfall now land is a major player
i don't know
what landfall is like at all of the
famous
lotus cobra lotus cobra one in a green
creature snake landfall whenever a land
enters the battlefield under your
control
add one mana of any color this snake has
been fueling explosive green decks for
years and it's back for another go
and in zendikar rising landfall cards
have a special showcase frame that you
can see here on lotus cobra
the frames were inspired by travel
posters
honestly isn't that beautiful
yeah that's actually really pretty you
know what
there there's no one here these ferns
aren't gonna stop me i'm gonna show you
another landfall card let's just we're
gonna
we're gonna do that commander players
listen up this one might be very
interesting for you
introducing omnath locus of creation
that's right omnath is back
and has spread into a fourth color with
white it's a legendary elemental
when omnath locus of creation enters the
battlefield draw a card
landfall whenever a land enters the
battlefield under your control
you gain four life if this is the first
time this ability has resolved this turn
if it's the second time add four mana a
red to green a white and a blue
if it's the third time omnath deals four
damage to each opponent
and each planeswalker you don't control
and you can also collect omnath in that
gorgeous showcase frame
it's a legendary creature ready to lead
your commander deck
and those are the two returning
mechanics
that seems really powerful
okay so we know there are a lot of
returning mechanics for the set but i
want to know if there's anything new so
i'm gonna try to radio into base and
see if they can tell me anything i'm
just gonna
and jimmy
mike jimmy mike hey it's mike tyrion
how's it going
hey jimmy i'm glad you're getting
reception out there how's the adventure
going
it's going pretty well i'm staying
hydrated my feet feel good so
thumbs up for me that's good that's good
so
what do you need well i'm trying to find
out everything i can about the news and
the car set so i figured
you might be able to help aye then
you've come to the right place
thousands of years ago before the land
had a name
before the wind was born zindagar was a
place of
okay hey um mike you know running short
on time here do you think we could just
sort of skip ahead and talk about the
new mechanics in the set
yeah i'd love to okay great
we've actually got two new mechanics and
when we created them we wanted to go
back to that original feel of zendikar
and capture what everybody loves about
magic and zendikar the first mechanic i
wanted to share with you is the party
mechanic it's aimed at making you feel
like you're on an
adventure with your friends what you're
going to do is get your four adventuring
classes you're gonna want your warrior
your wizard
your rogue and of course what every
party needs your cleric
yeah there we go that's perfect and you
get bonuses for having
okay this sounds cool let's take a look
at shepherd of heroes new cards i'm
always excited for this so with the
shepherd of heroes
not only is it a five mana three four
flyer but
when it comes into play you get two life
for each member of your party
wow that makes a lot of sense you know
the more party members you have the more
life you're gonna be able to heal and
save up because you got people to defend
you and fight for you and heal you
yeah exactly i mean it's exactly what
you'd expect a cleric
this straight up does feel like a d
thing
as a one-two robe it's a little creature
you know it gets in there
it does a little bit of damage but the
great thing about it is the party
mechanic here you get to
force your opponent to discard a card
and once again if you have that full
party
you're choosing from up to four
different cards from their hand to make
them discard
whoa so flavorful i'm a big fan of that
ah tazri you can see here a four six
four five mana that's all right
if you have a full party to cast tazri
that's a one man of four six creature
are there any other legendary creatures
that we might be able to take a look at
yeah let's take a look at linvala three
mana three three flyer
great to start off with you can lock
down one of their creatures as long as
you have a full party
you know turn after turn that's so
powerful and magic to be able to just
choose one of your opponent's creatures
and say time out for you
sit over here yeah of course it's
azoreous
gross incorporating that classic sense
of adventure
and gathering together with a group of
friends to get out there with your band
of like traveling companions really cool
stuff
in zendikar rising party is not just for
creatures it's also on spells let's take
a look at spoils of adventure
for six mana three life and three cards
that's a pretty good deal
but if you have a full party that'll be
two mana
for three life winning three cards
that's amazing
wow that is an insane deal and you
don't say winona adventuring party
around you yeah it's really great to
capture party
on zendikar right it is a world about
adventure
and so you're going to want to go and
collect that full party
and so you can have a great adventuring
experience yeah fantastic okay well you
said
two new mechanics so what else is there
another new mechanic is
we're bringing back double face cards
and this time we're calling them
moto double face cards or moto dfc's for
short whoa
yeah and the modal piece of it is is the
front of the card in the back of the
card
when you cast a modal dfc you're just
choosing which side you play
right so in zendikar because then the
car is all about land
the the back of the cards each and
zendikar have a land right
so for instance valkyr stoneforge comes
into play taft and
taps for red now in the late game of
course though you're probably not going
to
want that landing then go ahead and
catch bellated awakening and get a quick
refresh on cards in your hand
that flexibility is really great yeah
that flexibility is great it'll really
change the way can you show the card for
a little bit longer
that functions both as spells and land
we wanted to bring the new moto dfc
mechanic
to dual lands right and what we did is
we introduced a cycle of pathway lands
clearwater pathway and merck water
pathway tap for blue on one side
black on the other and all you do is
when you have them in your hand
you just say hey do i want blue man up
if you do clear water pathway
if you want black mana murk water
pathway choose the side you play
put it out no drawback really amazing
yeah that is insane i love that
sort of like the ability to choose what
color you need in the moment
that's so good yeah yeah and so
of course you know when we're
introducing this amazing uh cycle of
pathway lands we knew we needed to bring
that awesome borderless treatment to
them
the great thing here with two sides you
get two pieces of art on every card
totally borderless it's so exciting i
i'm just overjoyed to be bringing
the cycle of pathway land to the car
rising
how common are these going to be how
many booster packs do i need to crack to
see one of these yes
oh hey that's one of the great things
about moto dfcs
every draft booster of zendikar rising
is going to have a moto dfc in it you
might not always get the rare pathway
but every draft booster of zendikar
rising will have a
modal vehicle with all those moto dfc's
we've
reimagined what we're doing for our
helper card right so here's a moto dfc
helper card and it's really easy to use
you just get out a marker
pen write what's on one side what's on
the other and then fill in that
information that'll make it easy
for you to remember when you're
shuffling it into your deck mike
thank you this was so amazing i can't
wait to see these new mechanics in
action and i especially can't wait to
get my hands on these modal dfc cards so
thanks again and you know what i
actually have to get going because i
really don't want to get stuck
out here before it turns to nightfall
okay be careful out there jimmy
and just remember one thing no matter
what you should never
ever ever ever why
what mike mike
never what mike uh-oh
jimmy
oh hi i've been looking through these
old books trying to find some
information on zinda car rising
okay so far i haven't had any luck i
think it's time to ask for some help
let's check back in with maris and uh
see what she knows
maris hey hey becca what's up
okay well i'm on a quest to find out
everything i can about zinda car rising
i wonder if you have any information you
could share
i absolutely do um you know what i can
tell you about booster fun oh yeah yeah
please
let's start with the lands because you
and i know that players love
the full art basics and zendikar has got
those you can get full art basics in
the set boosters as well as draft
booster packs and if you happen to be
someone who wants the foil
full art lands you can find these in
collector boosters there will be one
foil full art basic in every collector
booster pack those all look great
collector boosters well there's so much
to collect in zendikar
and i think you're gonna be really
excited about this next part expeditions
are coming back
expedition what's an expedition okay
awesome i'm gonna have to pick up all of
those
they are gonna be back as box toppers
and any of the booster displays
you are going to be able to get
expedition box topper so if it's a set
booster display draft booster display
you're gonna get a non-foil
expedition card and if you're getting a
collector booster display box
you're gonna get two non-foil expedition
cards what two non-foil expedition cards
okay that's amazing and if you're
interested in getting a foil expedition
those are exclusive to collector
boosters
oh nice okay are they all lands oh yeah
all 30 expeditions are lambs and 10 of
them are allied and enemy fetchlands
oh nice you knew what i was gonna ask
oh wow these look beautiful oh so i mean
check these out
so they're fetchland oh of course of
course uh let's see
here is morphic pool yes oh i love it
and then check out prismatic vista so
these frames are inspired
by the core skyclaves of zendikar rising
and the final one that i'm going to show
you for our eternal players
is wasteland nice okay something for the
eternal players beautiful
mirrors all of that art is incredible
thank you so much for helping me on my
adventure
you are so welcome becca boy
i wish jimmy was here to see all this i
wonder where he is right now
oh no becca i get so lost
jimmy it's getting dark out
hey everybody i'm back i'm still matt
tabak and i'm still in the business of
showing you awesome things
now in zendikar rising we're introducing
a new type of booster pack called the
set booster
it's gonna revolutionize the way we all
open booster packs i found out a lot of
you out there just really love cracking
packs
so while draft boosters are still the
best way to play the game and collector
boosters is the shortcut to all the
hottest cards in the set
anytime you just want to open up a
booster pack and feel that zendikar
goodness
the set booster is where it's at let's
take a look at a quick rundown of some
of what you'll find in a zendikar rising
set booster first off you'll always get
an art card and there's a small chance
that art card will be upgraded
with a gold stamped signature from the
artist next you'll get a full art basic
land and that full art basic land could
be
foiled next up a mix of commons and
uncommons now the cards within each
rarity connect to each other
we're going to show off themes mechanics
and even creative elements from within
the set
you'll get a common or uncommon showcase
or modal double-faced card
next up a guaranteed foil and a
guaranteed rare or
mythic rare then we have the wild card
slots now these are
really wild they could be anything from
commons right up to mythic rares
about a quarter of setboosters will also
contain a card from
the list now you may be asking yourself
what is
the list and why do i have to say it so
dramatically well that part came from
legal but i can tell you this the list
is a curated list it's like 300 cards
from magic's history that we chose to
show off
just some of the cool and weird stuff
we've done it's like slivers and you
know
offbeat mechanics and things you're just
not expecting to see but you're gonna
see them
in a brand new booster pack but i mean i
could sit here and talk about
the list all day long but i'm gonna
instead show you
three cards food chain simeon spirit
guide
and slime foot the stowaway
now remember cards from the list aren't
standard legal but they are legal in
many other formats
you just get to enjoy opening them up
that cat wants down
look it's unhappy get your hands on them
real soon with zender car rising
stay safe out there
is jimmy okay
becca
this keeps getting worse jimmy
jimmy jimmy becca follow the sound of my
voice
yeah oh becca thank goodness i'm right
here
i was stuck in the dark it was so scary
okay that's great jimmy look what i
found
oh treasure yeah should we open that
obviously and look who's here with us
it's mark hagen
hello oh hey mark how's it going great
how are you guys doing
very very good open it okay okay okay
let's see what is inside
it's the whole next year of magic you've
seen some of the stuff we're doing this
year but now it's time to go into the
future and talk through what we're doing
in 2021
let's take a look all right first up we
have
an axe somebody's getting the axe huh
that's right coming this winter we are
going to
call time so this is magic's viking
world we've seen glimpses of it before
what 2021 amazing all right all right
i think i was a viking in another life
so into this let's see
here next up this is a
scroll of sorts next up we are going
back to school with strix haven
so this is the most elite magical
university whoa
that sounds cool colleges that are kind
of battling it out
um with their own takes on magic and uh
it's a set unlike anything we've
done before pretty cool very very cool
awesome and what is
inside here but whoa
a gelatinous cube an all-food-based set
next up we have
a pretty epic collaboration a long time
in the making
and to tell you a little more we have a
special guest it's a collab hi
mark well i am very excited to be here
to help you announce
the collaboration that we have all been
waiting for dungeons and dragons is
coming to the magic multiverse
that's right no way this is a full
black bordered standard legal set set in
the world of dungeons and dragons we're
calling it adventures in the forgotten
realms
we could not be more excited for this
for over 45 years
dungeons and dragons has been the
premier tabletop role-playing game
and we are finally finally bringing our
brands together for a full-fledged card
set
that both d and magic players will not
want to
miss uh thank you so much ellie thank
you
thank you bye bye shelly bye
okay well there's something else in here
that looks pretty interesting and i
think
i know where this one's going
tell me more about this mark i can take
a guess but i think i know what's up
yeah if all that weren't enough we are
rounding out the year by going back to
my favorite
plane this is innistrad so we've had uh
a classic and astronomic feeling fun
stuff with werewolves fun stuff with
vampires
we actually couldn't fit it all in one
set so we're doing two innistrad sets
two full-sized full-size sets the first
one really focuses on werewolves
and the second one
next year no italian food at that
wedding that definitely does
interest me uh mark one of my favorite
parts of magic each year are these
specialized sets is there anything
i love it's my favorite plane we um
are doing a little thing we're calling
time spiral remastered
we took a look at the entire time spiral
block and we kind of distilled them into
a brand new draft experience so it pulls
cards from all three of those into a new
way to play
uh if you were around originally for
time spiral this is a great way to dive
back in and see those cards again
if you weren't around this is your
chance to experience it
so a really unique experience a fun
product and we decided to do
uh one special thing in the spirit of
time spiral and time travel
and kind of retro love we're putting one
card in each of these boosters that
appears in the original border
so these look like old magic cards we
get asked about this all the time and we
said this is the place to do it time
star will be mastered one per pack
uh some very cool looking cards super
cool i love it
okay anything else so speaking of things
that fans uh are asking for there's
another thing that we know you want
we hear you and uh it's the fetches
so next year we're doing modern horizons
two it's uh
modern horizons one was a ton of fun we
loved it we hope you all loved it we're
bringing it back for a sequel so a lot
of the same kind of energy from time
from modern horizons one is returning
and i can uh officially confirm that the
five enemy fetches
are in this set they're in boosters uh
modern horizons 2 featuring the enemy
fetches
you've heard it here first oh super
sweet yes
about time as well okay something else
in this treasure chest
makes me a little curious what is this
uh that time for a shoe themed set here
we go with the shoes
right there yet i'm working on them we
are doing something fun with shoes
though we teamed up with our friends at
k-swiss
and uh we worked with them to create an
exclusive
jace shoe that you're holding there yeah
so you can see
some of the details the colors the
patterns this shoe is weird

a point where i never ever have to say
blood chief's thirst ever again so
okay
um
all right we don't want to watch that we
don't want to watch the rest of that
we don't want to watch the weekly mtg
hold on okay
um so that was exciting
what do you all think
the walking dead secret lair
seems like um a really bad idea
honestly i don't love it
at all but that's just me
personally i mean is that show still on
is it i don't know
um i'm i'm excited about the sets that
are coming out next year they seem
really cool
yeah okay so they're doing the weekly
mtg where they're going to be talking
about everything that was just talked
about
so when did the preview start
tomorrow i think the previews start
tomorrow
okay so arena arena is coming out
on mobile soon
whatever that means
yeah i don't really have any information
up here yet
at all okay well it's exciting
um zendikar does seem boring compared to
the stuff that's coming out
i don't want to buy another secret layer
until covert is gone well
i the yargo one is not really my thing
oh shoot they're showing more hold on
they're showing more previews i'll pull
them up here
i'm not listening to it but we can watch
this
uh this is a legendary creature aura
skyclave hierophant lifelink
whenever it or another cleric you
control dies
that's it it's over that's it there's no
core set next year oh
would they typically announce that
with with the sets coming out i guess
they would right
i really like the core sets so that
would be
disappointing
oh no because of dmd strange
petitions right and i think we're even
going to be showing some of those off
today
um those are those are box hoppers so
you're going to be getting those
expeditions um
with each purchase and so because of
that we said hey
let's let's go back to uh
non-non-mechanically unique
buy a box card you know it's something
that um we've gone back and
and forth on uh but here
buy a box program you know we really
wanted to give you a special treatment
it has alternate art right like as
as we were taking a look at there's two
different pieces of art uh
in that extended art treatment so we
feel like there's a lot of specialness
and a lot of awesomeness
there those two-sided lands
seem really cool
and those being uh only available in the
buy box
uh promotion so that's that's what we've
been
navigating and i'm really super happy
with this uh
new uh aldar with the extended art
treatment so i i'm really thrilled about
how how well they came out
yeah and and who is this character
well aura is one of um
he's a cleric that has some deep hold on
i want to see what this does
whenever aura or another clerical
control dies return target cleric card
with lesser converted man across from
your graveyard to the battlefield okay
that's pretty good
so yeah i mean
they're really doing this party thing
that's pretty cool
why are there only six new duels
baltimore mad
that i don't know is was there only six
i guess i didn't pick up on that
maybe that's why they asked us the
question at the beginning about their
being only six right
um i'm excited
not really about zendikar i mean yeah
zendikar
sure but um i'm excited about the new
sets that are coming next year
that seems really cool i guess soren's
probably not going to be
in the in on zendikar even though he has
this thing with nahiri right
soran won't be there will soren be a
part of it do you think we'll get
another soren
that the cup island is really cute
actually i like all of these arts even
though i hate island
um the swamps are okay
they're not my favorite swamps
but they're not terrible
i suppose i gotta be honest and i feel
like everybody's gonna hate me but i
don't really
i don't really love full art lands
hi mound proper um
yeah i just feel like i just feel like
everybody's gonna be mad at me for
saying that but i don't
i'm sorry i don't love full art lands
oh the forests are pretty yeah
in a stride in a stride for sure well
definitely the inner straw vampires
one right like soren is
daddy vampire well i mean i guess
maybe one of the daddy vampires
that nahiri looks real freaking cool i
like these special arts where the
it like shows the planeswalkers with all
the
with all of their adventures i don't
know
it's pretty cool it's pretty cool
i like both of these though both of
these art versions
soren is more grand grandson vampire
i mean i don't like jace but i really do
like both of these arts
honestly i i like this i like the one on
the left like the original one with the
shadow version of himself
that's really cool
edgar markov is dead i believe so
yeah i believe so i would have to
i would have to double check i have the
i have one of the inner strong art books
and then it has like
all of the lore
for sauron
i think that edgar is dead
but you know it's one of those things
like they can always come back to life
right does anything really die
no
pretty cool pretty cool what are they
talking about um
at about eight or nine yeah okay
eight or nine so like these are just
gonna be on the website
on the website magic story yeah amazing
yeah
where you have found magic story before
magic story will be again
um and you'll also get the
in the trailer you saw kiri and xerath
um and we'll see them
see them as well yeah we're actually
gonna look at
one of their cards and a little bit the
chat is asking for cards so let's do
cards
the story the lore stuff the digital
what was it party and a little bit extra
today so
ora represents our cleric in our party
uh what do we have next steve uh
next we have a card called cliffhaven
sellsword
it's a it's a warrior not much else to
say about it uh it's a three one
you know you you see these uh these role
player three one for twos and white
unlimited a lot and this time it has the
extra bonus of also being a warrior
yeah so mike talk a little bit about how
because this we've seen three ones for
two mana and white before but talk a
little bit about how
creature type matters a bit more on a
card like this
yeah well uh so yeah we've seen
three ones in magic right i mean this is
what we'd call a vanilla card
but the the fun thing about party is
with party you want to go
and get a warrior a cleric a wizard
and a rogue and uh that consists of a
pool party right so you can have uh you
can't go above four
but you can go from zero members of your
party if you had none of the creature
types um all the way up to a full party
which is having
one of each of those four that i just
listed so here the the interesting
thing is being a warrior and a three one
it's like
you you have some uh interesting
gameplay decisions right because
uh cliffhaven's sellsword is adding to
your party by being a warrior
but at the same time you want to be
attacking right you want to be getting
in
uh damage so you know there's that
interesting dynamic there because
with only one toughness basically you
know if the
the cell sword fights anything in combat
it's going to
end up i mean are we trying to are we
trying to like act like this card is
supposed to be good come on
come on it's a three one come on come on
it's not good
dynamic gameplay that uh people know
that
and i'm a normie just real quick for
people asking in chat if changeling
constitutes a full party
uh mike what do you need for a full
party good question
so uh if you had a changeling that would
help you with one party member
essentially uh
you could choose oh it's gonna be my
wizard
it should help you with all party
members it's every creature type so it
would be all four
four changelings that would actually
make for a full party
right uh you went back into your lower
wind collection and
uh you know dug up some fun uh
changelings uh but yeah
it it changeling itself only adds one so
yeah for a full party
a wizard a warrior that doesn't make
sense i'm just gonna i'm just gonna say
that doesn't make sense
yeah yeah and basically they can only
count once
yep and there are actually a couple
cards in the set
that they don't have changeling but they
also count as
all four of those types so they can
fulfill any of those roles in your party
yep multitaskers uh
next up let's look at farsight
adapt a lot to unpack here so on it's
on its face is a three three four two
and a white mana which is already a
pretty good rate
it is a core wizard and when farsight
enters the battlefield you and target
opponent each
draw a card we also get the uh flavor
text name calling of teetering peaks
which was of course from
i guess i guess the body counts make
sort of sense
but it i don't know
i don't know
a relatively straightforward car there's
uh in a comedy that said there's a lot
to unpack so
the first thing like you mentioned like
white car drawing
it's something that you know white has
traditionally
had very little card drawing in it
whatsoever
but uh you know as we move forward we're
sort of experimenting with different
ways
to you know bring white up it's still
going to be
of the five colors the fifth best card
drawing
color uh but before it basically wasn't
on the
the map at all so here what we've done
is added some
you know in the two player games a
symmetrical uh
car drawing where you and opponent each
get a guard uh if you happen to be
playing this multiplayer there's
you know some political uh advantage you
might be gained
so that's that's one thing you know
white just uh
we're going to be seeing slightly more i
feel like that's bad card draw though
right
because farsight adapts a wizard
and so even though blue and red are the
i'll say the primary
wizard colors um we wanted to make sure
that you know there were some ups two
day shipping is
um you know no matter what color combo
probably expensive
uh some options so uh yeah
16 i was going to say that's probably
pretty high
so that way you know because it's doing
you know card drawing itself is a very
wizard feeling
um and first i did that
let us show that off as well all right
yeah and you'll notice that some of the
oh go ahead go go ahead
where are you getting that from baltian
where are you ordering that from
and um or kind of bespoke costuming that
ties to
their class as well as to the group that
they're from
so the core have very angular
asymmetrical outfits
wizards always have like a high color
hood um and
but and so some of those things kind of
track across
you know human core elf what not um
and it's just that way as you're playing
like you got some
some variation but you also know like oh
this is my wizard because this is
all my folks have hoods yeah one of my
favorite things about working
on sets is seeing all the
behind-the-scenes work that the creative
team does
right when varys is talking about the
different party members fireball
right the the creative team spends you
know so much time
going through and making sure hey how
does this creature going to feel like a
wizard how is it going to
feel like a cleric what makes it feel
like zendakar right
and so you end up with uh you know white
boards upon white boards and now digital
white boards as it were
filled with these different concepts
showing off all the costuming
right the the looks uh of the creature
types
and uh it's really just so fabulous to
see it all
now start uh coming live us being able
to share it
uh it's one of my one of my favorite
days is just these these preview days
yeah us too so let's let's take a look
at another preview card steve what do we
have coming up
we've got merfolk windrider we'll put it
up on the screen it's a merfolk
rogue for eww blue mana flying and when
merfolk wind robber deals combat damage
to player that player mills a card
sacrificing revolt wind robber draw a
card activate this ability only if an
opponent has eight or more cards
in their graveyard it's this rogue stuff
that is that is a fantastic flying man
right there yeah
that's a good car it's unbelievable to
me
when uh i i started at wizards you know
so many years ago now
that i was like no this this is better
than flying man we can't
we cannot do it it is and now you know
you look at a card like
the wind robber and not only is it a one
one flyer but it has
you know multiple good abilities on top
of it uh
so you know of course rogues yeah that's
true
one of the things we wanted to capture
was that you know trickery
subterfuge people already doing this um
damir rogue thing
playing any rpg the rogue is always the
one to sort of you know be the
backstabber
or find a way to uh to save the day
through through their means um so here
here with rogues we've tried to capture
that
uh that filling your opponent's
graveyard right you can see that
uh that the wind robber gets a special
ability if they have
eight or more cards in their graveyard
and then also uh
you know every time that he he hits them
he's he's building up the graveyard as
well
so uh you know it also one of the things
i always enjoy about
a card like this is you know if you put
him out on turn one
and he's the only damage it's like this
race of are you gonna knock them to zero
light first
or are you gonna mill out their library
first because with the 40 card deck it's
actually pretty close about
which uh which one wins the race mill is
happening hardcore
gentle uh tiny knife stabs from above
one of the most satisfying ways to win
just like
also one of the more frustrating ways to
lose
true true true uh all right well we've
filled out our party
but we're going to throw in another
rogue uh to pay respects to
someone we met briefly in the trailer
uh maris why don't you introduce us to
xerathson the trickster
okay ah yes xerath is um
a merfolk rogue we just saw him um
in nahiri's party so he's working with
um a couple of the core as part of an
expeditionary group
um he didn't make it out of the trailer
but we'll be able to get a little bit
more about uh his history and backstory
from the web fiction okay so we're not
done with zarathan i mean
we're not done he's good he's he's kind
of done but we'll learn more about him
um yeah this card it is just like
ninjitsu
that's literally what the ability is
right
uh it's got kind of a version of the
ninjutsu abdomen where you can pay some
mana and return an attack
unblocked attacking rogue to your hand
and then when xerathson deals damage
uh you can put a permanent hi
food time a permanent card from that
player's graveyard onto the battlefield
under your control this has some serious
ink eye
vibes to me and i think it's gonna be a
popular communication also
it's you know we've been seating this
rogue blue black flight i don't like
this this is like
asian of treachery bullshit this is like
asian treachery bullshit
you can you can easily get in the combat
damage with this ninjutsu stuff
and then they're going to steal your
stuff oh blue red is uh
wizard you can tell rogue rogue here is
uh
focused in blue blue black when we saw
raw
earlier clerics is focused in uh white
black right
so you know for each of the uh
for each of the party classes we we sort
of
tried to figure like hey what is a card
that really will stand out
uh you know i guess it's not quite as
bad as asian of treachery but it's got
that vibe
for mana for this ability is you know
incredible especially because
yeah uh you know they haven't blocked
your attacking creature to begin with
so you're likely to be hitting them for
damage uh
when you when you use that uh first
ability but surprise it's four
damage
all right we've got another preview card
steve what's
this one's exciting we do and uh you
know we saw two planeswalkers
already but there is a third in the set
and you showed the art during the debut
moment we're gonna show you the card
here is nissa of the shadowed
boughs and uh you might notice that this
plane's walker has
she's black and green be on it this uh
this planeswalker has landfall
mike planeswalker with landfall what's
going on
yeah that is uh we are golgari nissa
what's
up uh you know the mechanic of landfall
back into
send the cars and with the zendikar
rising and
you know one of the things we wanted to
do here and we've seen this
look at this landfall whenever atlanta
enters the battlefield under control put
a loyalty counter on nissa of shadowed
balls right really finding a way
i um the planeswalker amplified that
feel of the mechanic
and in here it's just such a great
landfall mechanic because you
you can meet you know castnessa and if
you had
uh like fable passage in play right
uh power her up right away and uh
basically immediately use uh her
ultimate ability
right so you know of course that
probably means uh
you've waited to slightly later in the
game to do that but
that's just it's such a fun new way to
look at planeswalkers
okay but like why are you doing this
target land becomes a 3-3
thing again at least it's only until end
of turn
that's much better than current limited
one playing constructed
uh within the car rising
and uh maris i can't help but notice
that nissa who's been
mono green before who's been blue green
now is black green what is going on
there
i mean who could know
except maybe the web fiction she's going
dark
is racist nissa back is miss a racist
oh no i think people are pretty excited
that we're moving back to that
uh but yeah so
i didn't read her second i didn't read
her second ability
thing that's that's one of the nods to
adding black to nissa on uh on her
abilities so
maybe not as compelling as the web
fiction uh
itself but you know having menace on the
land is nice because
uh you don't really want your land being
blocked
in combat you just want to get in there
for some good damage and if you've ever
fallen into a blackberry bush while
hiking
you know the lands can have menace it's
a real thing
that's true that is true that is true
all right well that is all the preview
cards we have
from the main set uh
we do so as announced in the video
earlier
uh there are 30x
in the set that you can get as box
toppers or
in collector boosters they are being
revealed throughout the day we revealed
some of them in the debut video
we're going to reveal a few more there's
going to be a few more revealed
uh around the internet but we're going
to show you a few
uh before we get to that mike can you uh
i've seen this question in chat a few
times can you
uh explain where and how to get
expeditions i kind of just gave a short
version of it but what
what's the what's the story there
yeah absolutely and uh i know my
collecting uh zendikar rising
uh article is uh uh going to be up on
daily mtg and so you know everything we
say here you can go in
and read about but the
the ver with if you're looking for those
expeditions and i think everyone
right now is looking for them you can
get them in a one card expedition
box topper packs and you get one of
those packs with every draft
booster display you get one of those uh
packs with every
set booster display right so you know
you crack open the display
oh there sitting on the top will be a
one card expedition pack
uh with one of the 30 expeditions and
then
if you buy the collector booster display
right so uh that's 12 collector boosters
in the display
then collector boosters of the
expedition box stopper packs uh in that
so and for all those box topper packs
when you open those one card packs
the the expeditions you're gonna find
are non-foil
right so we've introduced non-foil
expeditions it was a big thing
that we heard uh in the past when we've
done masterpieces and expeditions before
is that people wanted them in non-foil
so in those
uh people wanted them in non-foil
why is that
that's how you find them all uh non-foil
and then
talking about uh the foil expeditions
the foil expeditions are only found
within the collective boosters
right people want cards not pringles
about
one in six collector boosters is going
to have
a foil expedition inside so if you're
looking for those
these 30 cards uh in in foil the place
to find them is inside
the collector booster itself
all right so if you want foils get the
collector booster and that we actually
have some
physical versions of these cards we're
going to show off in both foil and
non-foil
uh but let's first show off some car
some expeditions that were not in the
debut video
uh graphically and then we'll come back
and show off some of them
physically uh but of course we weren't
just gonna print
one of the
the community split on what to call
these the command
essentially commander lands um the sea
of clouds luxury suites fire garden
bountiful promenade group
let's put those up fantastic art from
sam burley there on sea of clouds
yeah i was super happy are these
are these new their cards that our
commander players have
really loved i guess they're not new
these cards have been a thing before i
just
haven't really seen the player and uh
bringing these from battlebond into
uh you know the zendikar expedition uh
set
gotcha something that um i really i'm
gonna just say like i hate the frames on
these like i hate them
i'm sorry what what do you all think do
you like these frames or not on
um both kind of the the hedrons that
we're familiar with
um from zendikar but also these sky
clave
ornamentation and rock carvings that you
can actually see in the background
behind bountiful promenade
for promenade uh and then wherever you
are and then we do have
it's promenade additional one to show
off let's
reveal cavern of souls
and and marius you were talking about
where is that cavern of souls located on
zenikar
it is i'm excited for strix haven
i think that sounds exciting you know
you know floating
floating rock formation i'm gonna say i
it did not make me think of harry potter
it made me think
of um what's the game
what's the game elders
elder scrolls elder scrolls what's
skyrim
it made me think of skyrim because
wasn't skyrim the same way where there
were like different there was like a
wizard school and there were different
wizard schools that's what that made me
think of not harry potter
personally they're equally likely to get
any of the 30.
so when i think of the skyrim version
the mage college exactly
that's cool harry potter not quite as
cool
and harry potter was in college i don't
think it's going to be harry potter i
think it's going to be more like the
skyrim
thing and that sounds really cool sure
that hey
and just like you saw there uh
with those lands like we wanted to make
sure we we pick lands that appeal to
players who you know love commander
you know cavern of souls is uh you know
for a more competitive player
um and we wanted to to make sure we
could capture
all of those and wizard school in the
witcher 2.
so this is definitely a thing in fantasy
genre that it's not just harry potter
and harry potter is like set in modern
day like i seriously doubt
it's gonna feel like harry potter at all
the like the witcher stuff and the
skyrim stuff
that's that's all set i mean it's in a
fake world but it's more like medieval
right so
it's gonna be more like that and it'll
be cool i think it'll be really cool
and so they they could just keep turning
out but let's uh
steve let's show off some physical
versions of these we're gonna yeah
getting the camera to focus is always a
challenge i was told to watch
i was told to watch uh youtubers who do
makeup
to figure this out so we have we're
going to try this i'm in here with the
hot
tapes the foil and non-foil versions of
sea of clouds
the blake has the foil so um i have the
i have the foil so that's what the
foil version of sea of clouds looks like
and then steve has the non-foil version
oh okay that's fine actually that looks
good we're focused
you're okay it's kind it's still kind of
hard to see on video but
even the non-foil has a little bit of a
a sheen of varnish over those uh
white and blue lines around the border
yeah yeah
it's hard to see on that yeah it looks
cool think of the glowy magic
chloe it is a little hard to see on
video
it is something that in person it is a
you know it's a really cool treatment
that high gloss varnish
right we spot treated it along the um
uh along there oh is that cavern of
souls we're taking a look at
this this is the yeah this is the
non-foil cavern of souls steve's got the
foil
oh i am clearly not ready to be
a makeup youtuber put it in the center
of the screen
in the center and then steve's got the
foil
wow that's trying to yeah it is pretty
to me the the the treatments are so
stunning
right i can't wait for people to see
them in person because
even videos put it in the middle of the
screen buddy
hey put it in the middle of the screen
bud button
the other direction there you go more
more
more nope nope
dude dude
um you tried you tried yeah so
there's 30 different expeditions right i
mean
we're showing off a bunch right here but
they all have they all have this
yeah they will all be revealed today i'm
so bad at this there we go a little more
to your left
you know what see that's the thing i
can't tell you i can't tell what he's
telling him
there you go there you go buddy
steve is doing a lot better oh that
looks pretty
and wasteland
there we go yeah we got wasteland
i can't find i can't find a magic card
but i did find this old picture of me
look who am i who am i right now
just kidding
check it check it
so yeah yeah solid strategy i'm
definitely gonna have to pick
up the first set of those that is i'm
funny right
yeah that's that's what i'm all about oh
yeah
so yeah these are all box toppers you
can get them in draft boosters set
boosters
and collector boosters as non-foil box
toppers is that correct mike turin
yeah yeah that is absolutely cool okay
we've we're talking about the box
stoppers again
okay we get it we get it show us a new
card
uh so but yes that's that's correct
all right um next up i want to
uh talk about the new sets
actually you know we're getting a couple
questions along these lines in chat so i
just want to give
people a little bit more information on
how many
of these fetch lands are going to be out
in the wild so i
i talked to one of our economists
who does a lot of math economists
the first printing of zendikar rising
and ultimate edition
there are more copies of marsh flats
printed in 2020 so you can
say that for any of the enemy fetchlands
then there are copies of
for example force of will or any other
given double masters mythic rare
so that gives you a sense of how many of
these are going to be out there
and then of course we're going to talk
about modern horizons 2 a little bit
more later
but to give you a sense of that modern
horizons 2 which
should have a similar price point to the
first modern horizons on that set
the enemy fetchlands will be in draft
boosters and they will be
rare which i don't think we said in the
debut video
we did not but they will be it rare not
mythic rare rare not mythic rare yes
yes uh next up i want to talk about a
slight deviation so we did something
for digital that is not going to be in
paper
just because of the way the timelines
worked out but
the extended art version of
needle verge pathway and pillar verge
pathway which is one of the
new uh modal double face card
dual lands is going to have different
art in digital
by friend of the show elena danner um
what maris talk a little bit about this
awesome work here
yeah so the modern horizons boosters
uh those were like eight those were
eight dollars
but okay so it could be a rare in the
booster but it's not like guaranteed i
mean there could be any number of rares
so i don't know is it really accessible
is it i guess so
compared to what it's been
we'll see and yeah
uh now let's switch gears a little bit
and talk who's that
what's the future
2021
bring it to 20 men oh
you're right ball tan announced a lot of
this on i bet i bet you're right
but let's take a quick recap of what
we've got
coming up we've got a fancy little
graphic that's gonna run across the
screen so we've got call time
coming up a viking world it's just a
word
rick's haven school of mages
yeah i muted this one we're all very
excited about
yeah duncan's dragon yeah so this is the
the
true crossover between magic and
dungeons and dragons
uh on this one mike one question i did
see in chat a lot
is what what happened to the core set
yes
here we go uh yeah so we're we're going
with the
adventures in the forgotten realm right
instead of the chorus set
you know once again i was i think i was
talking about us going back and forth on
various so they're doing the dungeons
and dragons instead of the corsage a way
to
you know keep bringing new worlds new
creative treatments
um to magic and we were just really
excited to have
uh this this partnership with dnd
because i mean magic and dnd have gone
hand in hand
right i mean even when we're talking hey
hey hey it's my stream
is really based on that you know from
playing rpgs like d
right and getting inspired by that so
we really wanted to tap into more
resonance uh
and the dnd set
adventures in the forgotten realm really
allow us to do that
better than the poor set so that's
that's how come we're going uh in this
direction and and i'm really
having played it you know i can't say
more of course other than
it's it's really fun and and there's a
lot of great mechanics yeah i
i think this is a good idea it'll be
it'll be awesome i'm really excited yeah
he's already played
i feel like since corsets started
having new cards in them they've always
kind of had that little d
influence in there uh you look at cards
like bag of holding
that that we printed recently and things
like that there's
always been a little bit of d d
influence in there and i i think
solidifying that's gonna be really fun
right yeah
i think no more subtle wings
yeah when we um when we went back to the
corset originally
right with uh i think magic 2010
one of the you know talking about those
subtle wings
aaron forsyth one of the exercises he
had all the designers do was
he posted up on uh a whiteboard like
okay here's here's a lich here's a bag
of holding here's a you know
just all of these classic uh
and then had the team design magic cards
for them uh
but that but now we're going you know
all the all the way
right it's no more well there's you know
a large number of reprints right these
are gonna be
uh you know primarily new designs like
we do
uh each one of our other standard sets
a lot of new stuff all right let's
continue through our trip through
2021 what do we have next
two innistrad sets is what we have what
does that mean these are not the real
names of them though right
not the real names those these are these
are just placeholders
they're they're capturing the spirit of
uh what he said is about but not
uh you know we're we're pretty far into
the future now
uh and so we're not uh sharing the real
names just yet
why yep uh next
up explain the two sets time spiral
remastered this may be
the set i am most excited for all of the
history of everything
yeah i mean for me i've been yeah
i've been playing since forever and so
time spiral itself was a nice callback
why are there gonna be
two sets at one time what does that mean
yeah mike talk about where the
inspiration for this came from
uh well well first of all i mean that
that
path of exile in the uh in the original
it's really not clear though is it back
to your
in the same challenge then
super exciting but uh you asked me about
the inspiration was that the
was that the question yeah yeah where
the site come from
yeah so time has no meaning
i have had no meaning yeah time square
is a great set for that
for sure you know that's why we mastered
you know we it's this it offers two
things right
you know you sort of captured on hey i
was playing magic
back when time sparrow came out and
i loved the set and i loved experiencing
it right
and just but magic sets i mean you know
releasing magic sets multiple times a
year it means
you don't get to you know live in them
for typically more than
uh you know a few months now a year uh
back then so it gives us this ability to
go back and
revisit the cards that people love the
gameplay
you know remastered of course so they're
all is this like a special set
that offers some new interactions and
new uh gameplay as well so
for the player who played it originally
it's just it's a great excuse to go back
and and draft it again to to remember
cards you may have forgotten
right and and just have a have a fun
time drafting and playing
but then also i mean you know time girl
came out a long time ago now
and so there's plenty of i've never even
heard of it making us feel old
i know i mean i've never i never played
time spiral so i'm excited to kind of
experience this
greatest hits of of that block uh
without having to go back and try to
find the original vlog
be older blake be
older not not we're not trying to make
you feel old blake but
i you know maris really hit exactly on
uh that second audience of oh there's
all these you know
classic cards that people have talked
about and
you know people loved and so going back
and giving players an opportunity you
didn't get to try it the first time
uh a great excuse to go and draft people
like time spiral like i just feel like i
haven't even heard people
you know magic being so much about
community in that shared language
it's just like oh now you will know what
cards i'm talking about
when i talk about
some of the cards in that set which are
you know
i know and i i recently completed a
commander deck that was all
old border cards it's white blue and i
never thought i'd have the opportunity
gross like it's kind of one of those
things that you know
we didn't do that anymore it's complete
but this is this is going to open up
some new possibilities the path exile is
going right in
i'm very excited uh and then
finally yeah modern horizons too we've
already talked a little bit about this
um modern horizon but it's gonna have
some of the sensibilities of uh modern
horizons one
obviously the fetchlands kind of break
the
no explicit representation honestly stop
trying to make fetch happen
they're gonna be rare in draft boosters
uh how excited are you i still have the
word fetch
fetches fetchlands all muted on my
twitter i
you know when i look at that uh there's
that long timeline
showing each of the the sets coming out
i mean to me
it's yo oh there it is right like
you know every set i'm i'm really
i'm really stoked for and the modern
horizons too
uh you know as a as a long time player
right just these all of these sets seem
really exciting to me
i'm so excited for all of them every
single one
the standard ones not the other that's
one of the things our players have
loved about modern horizons one is just
you know when you're playing these cars
they are
incredibly powerful and they they go
into your modern decks your commander
decks
uh and uh
i'm really excited i didn't really care
that much about the kind of just
uh modern shows in a different way
though the last time it came out that
was the one with like
sarah so she was like sarah angel
stuff right i didn't care that much for
that now it's a central
feature so yeah
uh one of the things i love about the
modern horizon set
is it lets us draw from all
different aspects of magic right and
and blend mechanics together and blend
cards together
that you know other sets wouldn't um
that other sets wouldn't be able to have
right so there's just a lot of
you know really a fertile design space
that the
the modern horizon set offer in a
in a totally unique way from uh
you know that resonant uh style set that
we see of like oh
you know called heim it's about vikings
right that's one style of resonance well
modern horizons too
is like oh what are these cards and
abilities that you just wish you know
that you've scratched down on on a piece
of notepad i wish this card would exist
uh modern horizons two uh lets us go in
and make them
it's a reality so it's it's the wish
fulfillment set for our designers
uh i do want to clarify something about
time spiral remastered that i've seen
coming up in chat
uh all of the sets that we announced
during the debut moment will be in paper
um so these are all tabletop magic sets
time swivel remastered i believe is the
first ever remastered set to be
in uh in fiscal form not digital form
i think that's correct because we had
temperature remastered on match with
we had almond ket remastered on magic
the gathering arena time spiral
remastered will be a tabletop
product so you will get these cards
these the the old border
cards you'll actually be able to get
them and hold them and put them into
your decks
like that that would
you know just like amonkhet remastered
was only on magic arena
right uh and we that let us do some
things about oh how we built that set
uh you know we knew time spiral
remastered would only be in tabletop
and so right like the the old border
uh the old frame cards make a lot of
sense
in tabletop where in arena you know they
they've never been introduced so
we we we custom build the sets knowing
where they're going to be
uh available and as we get closer to our
release date
i'm sorry we mastered a little more to
say about it that is true yeah i think
it's specific
let's uh since that's a good transition
let's move to
some questions from chat we've got a
little bit we got maybe 10-ish minutes
uh to answer some questions so i've been
writing some stuff down
uh we will get through as much as we can
chat you're moving pretty fast so we'll
try to keep up
but uh you guys do you wanna i do have
to show something off while while blake
is looking for questions um
okay so i've got questions ready a
sample of uh
the jsu that went on sale this morning
it is now pulled out
uh but if you were one of the lucky few
to get i'm excited about strickhaven
i think it sounds really exciting and if
this is the type of thing that you want
to see and you want to get in the future
please politely let k-swiss know let
magic know
uh if this is something that you want to
see in the future please do give us the
feedback but here's the box for it
the actual physical box k-swiss and then
magic on the back
i mean i guess if they were soaring
shoes i would be more interested
there's a cool planeswalker paper there
and then there's more uh there's k-swiss
paper
down there and we're going to get what
do i think about the fetches i really
couldn't care less about the fetches i'm
just going to be honest
one of the shoes here we go so it's
right here look at that that's cool so
yeah jace has kicker
you have shoes that you can now kick
things with
yeah oh god it looks like he's wearing
his hoodie oh my gosh
yeah oh my gosh and uh yeah so that is
that is the k-swiss shoe again these are
all sold out already you
i mean they people went nuts for these
on hasbro pulse
i mean y'all only put 300 of them
up of course they sold out immediately
wanna see
out of magic please do let k-swiss know
that this is the type of thing that you
would
really like to see in the future please
let magic know again politely
uh but would really really love to be
able to do more of this so please do let
us know if this is something that you
feel like you would like to have in the
future yes
all right uh okay i've got a few
questions
i'm okay without issues it's not like
six
duel lands in this set instead of five
bolton
so uh each each of the pathways uh
in the set that we chose you know we
wanted to have
uh the i was mentioning the the wizard
pair
right being blue red so you see uh that
we have the blue red
uh pathway right and so
so four of them were were give me
because of exactly that and then you
know
any time we're doing uh land cycles
you know we want to make sure that we
are introducing
uh each one of the color pairs right
because
while it makes sense for zendikar to
have
um each of the each of the
uh class pathways
that match up you know magic players as
a whole are just going to want all 10.
so then what we did was we looked at the
uh the green pairings because
with green in zendikar rising green is
sort of
it has all of the classes in it right
it's once again another
it's kind of another bridge color of it
doesn't have the depth
like blue red a lot of wizards green
has some wizards but not as much uh so
we wanted to introduce a couple green
pathways to make sure that there was uh
that available
and then we're going to look to complete
the cycle
uh upcoming but we wanted to start out
with as many as we could possibly get in
there so
we didn't want to just do five so we
ended up on six
it's it's certainly different i
i expected the question because we so
often do five
but like i said classes brought up
before
uh and then green brought us a couple
extra
so yep there we go we're at six yes
even internally we're like are we
counting right is this correct
uh mike and i'm gonna tell you you can
answer this question will we
see the other four oh yeah we will we
will absolutely see the other four
uh they're in an upcoming set uh
so they're coming later people won't
have to wait too long
right i know with uh like you all have
to wait too long legends we just showed
them the rest of that
uh the battle bond cycle of lands that
we were just showing
um so you know that that was a few
people really like to complete their
cycles yeah
right right right and especially if you
do six of uh
if you do six right like it's it's that
extra
oh why are there six now there's four
missing
oh i'm agitated yeah we're not we're not
looking to agitate people we really want
to give them
uh all 10 pathways they weren't trying
to agitate you
they just did accidentally all right
all right the question i'm seeing most
in chat right now is when uh it's
actually
kind of two questions when are we going
to learn more
about the zendikar commander decks and
also when are we going to learn more
about what's coming for commander in
2021
uh the zendikar commander decks uh you
will learn everything about them on the
ninth
so look for that on september zendikar
commanders
and uh commander in 2021 you'll learn
more we are
we are definitely doing commander in
2021 yes but you'll learn more about
that as we get closer to those
products uh
still got to get past commander legends
get passed i'm so looking forward to
commander legends
don't worry a lot about play commander
we're not going to let it disappear
oh yes definitely not
next up uh quick one for mike are the
expeditions available in languages other
than english
yes the expeditions are uh for the
for the box topper expedition packs that
will match
the language of the box that you're
opening
right so uh if you open up a french
draft booster display box the expedition
box topper you get
will be french for instance uh for the
uh the and that and those once again are
all non-foil
for the foils that you get inside folks
we're pretty i think we're pretty much
done with this at this point right
yeah okay so it's really exciting um
i'm just looking forward to the vampires
thing the most
i'm excited about honestly every set
that's coming out next year
looks really exciting
um i think zooby are we doing a magic
for normies this thursday
we should be it's we haven't talked
about it yet but it
it's it's on the schedule it's our
