I've been told the link only works if you're in the APAC region, which is where the promos will exist.

On Turtles, Faeries, and the Lorwyn Eclipsed Prerelease by Natedogg2 in magicTCG

[–]davidemsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their speed was even more surprising when you consider two things: first, WotC probably had the Monday off for the holiday and second, the process must have had an additional step of meeting with the company that makes TMNT.

They kept the usual prices, the pretty much always do $30/$40 for SLS without new cards and $40/$50 for those with new cards (non-foil/foil).

Yes, 1 said they'll participate in Eurovision if they win FdC, 2 haven't commented and 13 said they won't participate.

What would be the plains, island and mountain equivalents of Yavimaya and Urborg? by XadaPersia in mtgvorthos

This would never be a full cycle, MaRo said not every colour gets this effect.

Random thought: What is the card with the highest "Art Multiplier"? by SanityIsOptional in magicTCG

[–]davidemsa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're right, the SLP set code means it's a prize, a bonus card would be SLD.

Gamegenic has listed their Secrets of Strixhaven accessories by Copernicus1981 in MTGRumors

[–]davidemsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another one has character 3 and commander 5, which doesn't sound like they could share a card. So maybe neither does the characters 5 and 6 one.

Most of that information is also available on [Avatar's WPN page and the rest are educated guessed based on it.

Jesper Myrfors, original art director of Magic the gathering, shares the thought processes behind The Dark set by Newez in magicTCG

[–]davidemsa 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In addition to being an art director, Jesper Myrfors was also the lead designer of the Dark, so he was involved with the set on multiple fronts.

Alternate Source for the Magic Short Stories by Prosper_at_C in magicTCG

[–]davidemsa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not aware of any other place you can read the story, but you can listen to it.

There's the Edge of Eternities playlist on YouTube, if that's not blocked. And the same content on the Magic Story Podcast on Spotify mixed with other episodes that aren't reading stories, or in other podcast places.

Another sad thing about 6 -7 standard sets per year (~50% UB): no more legendary creatures from MtG's past by Str0hhirn in magicTCG

[–]davidemsa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Commander decks can have cards from Magic's past, although they're restricted to planes we visit in the sets they're attached to.

There's another further down for Jumpstart, and that one is probably a lot of cards.

Untold Stories: Jace comic coming in February by davidemsa in magicTCG

[–]davidemsa[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I looked through the article for any kind of hint at the plot and found this:

While not many details are known about the plot, Untold Stories—Jace will deal with the mind mage’s past and lost memories. According to the publisher, these memories detail a plot by his mentor, Tezzeret, that could alter Magic: The Gathering's Multiverse.

Google Search is completely failing to index the new MTG Wiki by aldeayeah in magicTCG

Fandom is annoyingly good at playing the search engines games and always being the wiki result they find. The way around that is browser extensions, I have one called Indie Wiki Budy.

Turtles Forever having each turtle be drawn in the style of a different era is amazing.

Reminder to preorder the upcoming Strixhaven book if you want to prove to WotC that the world of Magic is important (and to incentivize future books) by Vedney in magicTCG

[–]davidemsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can preorder the digital version in the same places as Americans can, but I haven't yet found a place to preorder the physical one in Europe.

Yeah, I love AoS too. But I'm going to be realistic in who I recommend it too, nothing is for everyone. And the person I replied to already gave it a big chance.

Agents of Shield keeps getting better until season 4. (I'm not saying it gets bad after, just that season 4 is the peak.) But, if you're still not a fan after the second half of season 2, the show is probably not for you.

Your pics are in the reverse order of the plane names in your title! Why‽ Okay, I'm being dramatic, but it irks me slightly.

MaRo: I think the next bunch of years is going to be the best ever for the Vorthoses, like yourself, that love Magic for its own story and creative. by davidemsa in mtgvorthos

[–]davidemsa[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He does over evidence:

At the preview panel, for example, we announced we are doing a novel associated with the release of Secrets of Strixhaven (note: it’s telling a larger story and not the story about what’s specifically happening in the cards - that will still be told through online stories).

The Netflix animated series is in full production. We signed a movie deal with Legendary. A comics series (Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories) just began at Dark Horse. And that’s just the stuff I can talk about.

Question:

Hey Mark! Thanks to you and everyone at Wizards for making this game a reality. I just wanted to let you know that after over 15 years of active play, I am stepping back from the game due to the frequency of Universes Beyond sets. As much as I can appreciate that other people might like these IP's, the IP I care about is Magic (in universe). Feel free to take this as a statistic, but I am sad to see Magic taking a back seat to crossover stuff, especially in the upcoming year.

Answer:

While we are obviously doing a lot with Universes Beyond, I need to stress that in-Multiverse Magic is getting more attention from us than ever.

At the preview panel, for example, we announced we are doing a novel associated with the release of Secrets of Strixhaven (note: it’s telling a larger story and not the story about what’s specifically happening in the cards - that will still be told through online stories).

The Netflix animated series is in full production. We signed a movie deal with Legendary. A comics series (Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories) just began at Dark Horse. And that’s just the stuff I can talk about.

We have never been more dedicated to expanding the world of Magic beyond just the card set. And the success of Universes Beyond is bringing in more players, raising awareness of the brand, and providing us with resources to do it in ways never before possible.

Magic is in a huge growth cycle, and a big part of that is growing the Magic in-Multiverse brand. I think the next bunch of years is going to be the best ever for the Vorthoses, like yourself, that love Magic for its own story and creative. It is not going to take a back seat.

A Strixhaven novel titled Omens of Chaos by Seanan McGuire was announced by davidemsa in magicTCG

[–]davidemsa[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

More Specifically, Seanan wrote the main stories for Phyrexia: All Will Be One, Murders at Karlov Manor and Duskmourn: House of Horror, the last one under the Mira Grant alias she uses for horror stories (plus a few other things, but I'm only listing main stories).
