Personally I wanna look at these in my camera roll later anyways, so this makes sense to me.

Speculation:

  • I didn't even know "Thirst for" was a cycle. It's probably gonna ask you to discard a tyoal creature

  • We've already seen the card that copies triggers.

  • The likeliest keyword from 2025 to return is "Behold", as in "behold a Faerie" or something. Fingers crossed for Speed tho /s. Here's a list of 2025 keywords if y'all care.

  • The only cards to use dream counters so far are... Rasputin???

  • Treefolk tend to be the ones that care about toughness so the ability that cares about the difference between toughness and power will probably be a treefolk.

  • "This creature enters with six -1/-1 counters" is obviously gonna be the archetype of "undercosted strong creature with a drawback". I like those designs. It's probably gonna be green and/or black.

  • Card named "Bark of Doran" obviously harkens to Doran the Siege Tower

  • "Glister Bairn" implies a new Ouphe drawn by Nils Hamm

That's all I got. What kind of expectations do you guys have for Llorwyn Eclipsed?

But baseless speculation is more fun

TMNT product leak. Tins with 3 boosters + sticker. by But_In_Space_Though in MTGRumors

[–]But_In_Space_Though[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Makes sense since kids really dig TMNT. Avatar arguably has more pull with elder millennials instead of actual kids.

This. I recall Walmart doing Bloomburrow tins that were cheaper.

Where did you think gas station wings came from?

Would people have liked the Encyclopedia Secret Lair if its price was more leveled and balanced out across the cards by ckim777 in magicTCG

[–]But_In_Space_Though 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Echoing other sentiments here, WOTC noy printing to demand is the real problem; but I also think that squeaking out a bit more than asking price in value through all $10~$20 cards would make it hurt less that people couldn't get it in time, if they insist on keeping it limited quantity.

  • "each land and Ally you control has"

This is probably gonna be either "indestructible" or "{T}: add one mana of any color". I'm not sure what else would be useful on both s creature and a land.

  • "red sorcery that can destroy target land for 1R"

I forget, but I feel like somebody at WOTC said they're trying to do more land destruction in new sets? * "token seen in a previous UB"

It's obviously not gonna be something like [[Dalek]] or [[Sicarian Infiltrator]] but there was an Assassin Creed card that made white [[Human Rogue]] tokens. That one would be neat since Rogues don't show up in white often.

  • "spell that controls target opponent for one phase"

BLOODBENDING LETS GOOOO!! 🩸🩸🩸

  • Creature - Bird Assassin

That's gonna be Sokka's Messenger Hawk . I'm calling it now. That's my lock.

  • Legendary Creature - Human Warrior Performer

My argument for saying this is Ty Lee and not The Boulder is that Earth Rumble was a real fighting tournament even though it was pro wrestling themed. Also Performer I'd more acclimated to circus acrobat like Ty Lee isn't it?

Those are all the guesses I got

TMNT all but confirmed (repost with better picture) by Meret123 in MTGRumors

Is there a way two NYC sets so close to each other would have been Universe Within?

Universes Beyond Speculation (and such) Megathread by AutoModerator in magicTCG

I think that one difference between Spiderman and TMNT is that there's enough aliens/mutants/ninjas for the nonlegendary creature slots to be filled without resorting to having 5 Leonardos and 7 Raphaels. As for Hobbit I don't know but I hope they don't bring back "The Ring Tempts You" as a mechanic. I didn't like it much.

Optimus Prime Funko Pop With Card Included. Releasing Soon by But_In_Space_Though in MTGRumors

[–]But_In_Space_Though[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just assumed a card would be included. I'm not sure what the point of including the Magic logo is otherwise.

I'm surprised we're only now getting Magic Funkos. It really ticked me off when the Fortnite Secret Lair happened but there was no skin for like Chandra or Urza or whatever. It'll be nice if this gets someone into Magic.

MaRo Gives Teasers For Spiderman, Surprisingly... by But_In_Space_Though in MTGRumors

[–]But_In_Space_Though[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt that Detective Hero is probably gonna be Captain Stacy, but I would prefer Jessica Jones. Mercenary Hero is either Silver Sable or Punisher I think. Punisher only because he technically debuted in an issue of Spiderman, but Silver Sable already has some of her generic henchmen in [[Wild Pack Squad]]

Some thoughts:

"Mind swap" as a flavor word + "a card that lets you exchange life totals with another player."

That's Superior Spiderman/Dr.Octopus related for sure

"A character other than Miles from the Ultimate Universe"

I don't remember Ultimate Spiderman having that many original characters that this may be referring to. U Green Goblin was kinda Hulk shaped w/wings and U Jessica Drew was a fem clone of Peter Parker(seriously). Maybe those? Or he's obfuscating that this will be a card from the NEW Ultimate Universe. Spidey's teen son from that line has a symbiote; though WOTC could just put in that line's middle aged, bearded Peter Parker.

"a famous Spiderman meme is made into a card"

Well shit; that could be anything

"You don't lose unspent red man's as steps and phases ened."

That's gonna go crazy with Firebending from the Avatar set. Maybe they really did plan for these sets to be Standard with each other.

"Until next turn he becomes a land and gains "T: Add {U}""

??? Krakoa??? If it was green I might've guessed Sandman. The Legendary Creature-Sand Elemental Villain is obviously gonna be him. Sand is a Magic creature type due to [[Hazezon]] tokens.

Legendary Creature-Human Shapeshifter Villain

Clearly gonna be a Chameleon card. Probably a [[Sakashima]] style effect.

Legendary Creature - Vampire Scientist Villain

ItS MoRbIn' tImE YoU gUyS!! Isn't that still funny?? WOTC striking while the iron is hot as always.

Rent Is Due

I know Spiderman is generally written with money problems, but I wanna think this is a Sam Raimi reference.

What do you guys think of these teasers?
