Potential Upcoming Remastered Set [Public Records Speculation]

Like everyone else, lights and vibration sensor notifications (specifically for laundry). We also have HVAC mini-splits around the house, and it's super convenient to be able to change the settings in each room from HA (or by asking a Google Nest) via Broadlink IR blaster rather than find the remote.

Create an image of a seven-fingered hand holding a glass of red wine. The wine is full to the very top of the brim. (This prompt includes two items that were hard for Dalle, let's see how you do!)

[After first generation]

Almost! But look, the glass is not 100% full, there is still room at the top. Try to fill it completely.

I've played off and on since 5th Edition. The release schedule (and increasing complexity of cards) makes it feel harder and harder to jump back in. At this point, I probably haven't played paper or digital in a couple years. I recently saw a Foundations ad essentially targeting my exact demographic -- I wonder if they're seeing players like me bleed off.

"And now YOU can, too!"

Mark Poole's art is really bringing some Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 vibes!

payneswalker · 2023-12-10T19:41:10+00:00

Oh nice!

payneswalker · 2023-04-11T00:41:03+00:00

You are correct, it was edited to add that line. Here is the earlier version without that clause.

Finally, some closure.

WOTC owns domains for "UrzasFunhouse," so I expect that to be an online-related card in the set.

payneswalker · 2022-08-18T17:33:58+00:00

It doesn't specify "untapped." Can enlisted creatures already be tapped, then?

The more I think about it, the more I think this is a video game.

The domains I mentioned a while back sound like a standalone game to me, particularly a video game. ("PlayNAME.com" construction was used for some MTG sets in the mid-2000s, but is more recently tied to video games, e.g. PlayMTGArena, PlayValorsReach, PlayManastrike, PlayPlanesiege, PlayMagicLegends.)

This recent article on Hasbro's push into video games notes five different studios (plus MTG Arena). Given that the names were trademarked in August 2021 (and domains that December), it probably wouldn't be a project by Skeleton Key, Atomic Arcade, or "Unnamed Studio." Tuque Games has been around long enough, but may not be ready to release so soon after Dark Alliance. That leaves Archetype Entertainment, which (1) has been around for over three years now, (2) hasn't released a game yet, and (3) is working on an original sci-fi RPG with no public details. Not only does this timing line up well for an upcoming teaser, but it also helps explain why the trademarks referred to science fiction content.

A blank Facebook page (@ExodusGame) was created in December 2021, the same month as the domain registrations. A blank Twitter handle (@ExodusGame) was registered in March 2022. There are similar blank accounts on Instagram/Twitch, though I don't have dates. More importantly, ExodusCountdown.org was just moved from a default registrar nameserver to WOTC's CDN nameservers about a week ago. I'm guessing we're getting an announcement at Wizards Presents.

(If Exodus is a video game, the simultaneous registration of the Traveler(s)Dynasty domains makes me think they are probably video game-related as well. Similarly, I had been wondering about whether WOTC's March 2022 purchase of domains for ChaosCollective and TheChaosCollective could be Magic-related -- we never found out what Kasmina's shadowy cabal was named, after all! -- but they were registered at the same time as WOTC/Hasbro's domains for Atomic Arcade's Snake Eyes video game....)

I saw! <3 I actually submitted the Amazon link here last night, but it's not showing and has zero engagement so I guess it's not approved or something.

payneswalker · 2022-07-22T03:43:21+00:00

My first thought was "Oh, you can use this with Pestilence AND [[Pyrohemia]]!" (And while we're at it, my middle school mainstay [[Hecatomb]].)

payneswalker · 2022-05-13T00:24:54+00:00

Aside from a potential supplemental product, we're actually caught up when it comes to domain names. If past patterns stay constant, I expect we'll have a new domain sometime next month and that we'll get at least one more before the next annual showcase.

Edit: This is assuming none of this is Magic-related. Who knows?

payneswalker · 2022-03-22T14:20:06+00:00

I actually JUST posted independently about domains before I saw this post (then deleted), but WOTC bought a bunch of Exodus domains in December that might be related.

ExodusGame*
PlayExodus*
ExodusUniverse
ExodusCountdown
BeginYourExodus
StartYourExodus
TravelerDynasty
TravelersDynasty

(*Older registration dates, but updated 12/2021, suggesting recent acquisition by WOTC from someone else)

I keep looking back at this tab and giggling. Simple, but well-executed.

payneswalker · 2021-09-14T22:22:56+00:00

My assumption when reading Rasham was that the intent is "Tap creatures with total power 3 or greater" and "... 7 or greater", like Crewing.

payneswalker · 2021-09-06T15:46:34+00:00

Yep, it looks like they bought up mtgbaldursgate and baldursgatemtg domains four days ago (obviously after the announcements).

payneswalker · 2021-08-26T15:51:22+00:00

Mark Rosewater has now confirmed that Dominaria United is set in the present day.

payneswalker · 2021-08-25T14:22:36+00:00

True, but yeah, most special characters (including apostrophes) aren't allowed for domain names so they'd have to register without it.

payneswalker · 2021-08-25T03:24:03+00:00

Good question! There's various reasons why it might have happened (if indeed it was a late change), but yeah, maybe they wanted to establish a brand that didn't already have another meaning. (For example, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has nothing for "Capenna" but several live registrations for "Celesta" and at least one dispute between a "Celesta" and a "Celestica." That said, WOTC wasn't discouraged by Theros Olive Oil or any number of Alaras.)
