This malice-filled set looks like the dark, brooding sibling to the bright Ascended Heroes cards weve been chasing all spring
We could have easily come out with a dozen wacky digital mechanics, but we felt like the way to make this feel like a card set is to pick a small number and show the breadth that that small number of mechanics can execute on. Lots of people love to play magic in a lot of different ways, and we want to keep providing for all of that, Parker explains
Each of them was basically just a bonus land, as a 0 cost artifact
Its tough to build a sideboard with the format as open as it is at the moment, so obviously adjust that to taste
Combine with Rancor or Temur Battle Rage to turn those bursts into lethal swings
For those more focused on playing, the set also features a ton of cards that work well in the current meta.
