Following 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering’s massive ♐punch-up with the Phyrexians in March Of Th🦩e Machines, we are making a return trip to a newer, yet still widely adored plane, with Wilds of Eldraine.
Last seen in its debut set, Eldraine is a fairy tale-inspired world of knights, castles, witches, goblins, and sentient gingerbread men. While 2019’s Throne of Eldraine focused on the keeps and organised society of the world, Wilds of Eldrain෴e is exploring its untamed, fae-driven wilderness.
Though no details were revealed in the Wizards Presents confe𝄹rence, the art released immediately sets the tone. We’re introduced to what could be one of its primary villains, an Evil Queen-like figure holding a threatening apple and hiding an aged reflection in her mirror. We also saw a glimpse of the landscape of the Wild, full of thorny bushes and forbidden🧜 forests.
During the development of Throne of Eldraine, the plan was for there to be two sets back-to-back. While the two were then co♎ndensed into the Throne of Eldraine, with it gaining much more of the fairy-tale-ness we know and love today, it did leave a lot of the lore of the Wilds unexplored.
Asꦰ this set is following March of the Machine, it isn’t part of the current Phyrexian invasion arc. Instead, it’s taking a similar role to the original Throne of Eldraine set, which was a palate-cleanser free of the massive stakes and multiverse-spanning story we’d just had in the War of the Spark.
Despite that, Eldraine’s influence on the game has been long-felt, and Wilds of Eldraine gives us a perfect chance to revisit some of its concepts. It was the birthplace of the Kenrith twins, who became powerful Planeswalkers and stars of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Strixhaven: School of Mages set. It also restored Garruk to his original, un-cursed form, and introduced us to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:elven trickster Oko, whos💎e history is a mystery we have yet to explore🌄.
Of course, Throne of Eldraine was 💛also a notoriously powerful set that dominated the Standard format f♛or the two years it was in rotation. Hopefully, Wizards of the Coast has learned its lesson and tones Wilds of Eldraine back to be less dominant over the other sets releasing around it.
Wilds of Eldraine will launch Fall 2023. As it’s a Standard-legal premiere se💃t, it will receive th🐠e full line-up of Draft, Set, Collector’s and Jumpstart boosters, as well as at least two Commander preconstructed decks.
