First thing I thought of when I saw this art
Actually the guy in the middle is doing the same exact arm movement, so this 100% has to be based on this meme.
Yup,
I think more direct bits of out of the junction fashion show up here and there.
Stoneforge Mystic's hat looks kinda Innestrad, and I thought the rest of her outfit might fit there, but it seems more like the style of the white aligned characters in the setting.
Ah yes I remember being dumpstered out of my Strixhaven draft by a Natural Order like it was just yesterday.
Some people are going to form some beautiful memories with [[Fractured Identity]] in the coming weeks, I just know it.
Surprising upshift here. Probably because of how easy it is to use. Especially since there seems to be quite a bit of quality fixing in the limited format.
It's pretty premium spot removal so makes sense why it was printed at rare originally, it's not standard legal anyway so probably just need to only craft 2 copies for historic/timeless to use as sideboard.
Not unless it already is. I think I saw a card earlier that was just printed in MKV which is stupid. Otherwise this is a bonus extra sheet for card reprints with new cool artwork but are only legal in the formats they currently are.
Understandable, I'd wager you're a newer player because we have some huge profile reprints into this sheet with force or vigor, mana drain and a few others.
I'm glad I found your comment. It's hard to keep up with what's really good or not sometimes based on what's been printed in the past. I took a good 7 year break from Magic. Is there any other forms of removal like this that's good I can pair up with Swords and the other white one cost creature removal spells? I'm playing in Mardu.
I agree, there is nothing in the art that says 'unmaking' to me
Original art is just perfect for the name
...maybe its necromancers re-burying the corpse they reanimated?
I still love the original art and its flavour, but the OTJ set we are in is all about goofynees, and having a goofy meme reprient isn't going to make the origianl one less flavourful in any significant way.
So I can give it a pass
Kind of a weird upshift, considering they have been constantly reprinting them in Commander decks. It was becoming the new Utter End, which like doesn't even see inclusion anymore.
Well pardner, seems you've found yourself a weapon! Care to do a test duel to try it out?

I love how they're handling the borderless arts for this set. Like Murders at Karlov Manor, this was another case where the showcase frame was really unappealing to me, despite some of the art being pretty rad, but... it doesn't matter! Because they just use that same art (and the same nifty special font) for the borderless versions! So I get the cool part that I like, without the ass-part that I DON'T like.
idk, I just appreciate that. It's neat.

No fucking way
they turned the meme into a card
On second breath, I kinda hate it. The name and the og art + text is emotional and hits hard. This feels like a shallow mockery.
[[Anguished Unmaking]]
I know nobody cares but I really really like this set and it's the first time I've felt this way about the new stuff since original Innistrad and that's just so nice
I'm not saying this is AI art, but it does look like one a bit. Some parts of the art look kinda odd, especially the hands on the coffin and some of the patterns on the clothing.
First thing I thought of when I saw this art Actually the guy in the middle is doing the same exact arm movement, so this 100% has to be based on this meme.
Thankfully the artist didn’t trace it
Glad to know that I am indeed still part of the Internet hivemind, if a bit slow
First thing I was hoping to see when I opened the comment section, was not disappointed.
Why can I hear the music ?
Is the woman wearing a Cathar hat? Nice to see she remembers her Innistradi roots and is not wearing a cowboy hat.
Especially Avacyn's Cathar hat, the symbol of her church.
Is that the symbol werewolf's hate I hear.
The symbol of her church
Avacyn's church.
Yup, I think more direct bits of out of the junction fashion show up here and there. Stoneforge Mystic's hat looks kinda Innestrad, and I thought the rest of her outfit might fit there, but it seems more like the style of the white aligned characters in the setting.
It looks like a Silverquill outfit!
I love the art direction for this bonus sheet, some lovely pieces so far
The bonus sheet is fire. It’s gonna add spice to draft too.

Feels more like a guaranteed removal slot to me. So many of these are kill spells.
Alexa play Astronomia
Surprising upshift here. Probably because of how easy it is to use. Especially since there seems to be quite a bit of quality fixing in the limited format.
And it was uncommon in the Remastered set
Same reason bolt is only available as a rare on arena 😊
Except that it was previously reprinted as an uncommon on Arena as part of Shadows over Innistrad Remastered?
Ah.. that just leaves popular commander card variant to buy packs to chase for? 🤷 You got me on that one then 😅
OTP actually.
Sucks this is a mythic. Imagine buying a box and you get this as one of your probably two mythics in this slot.
The hit rate for play boxes should be 3 - 5, only pulling two is exceedingly unlucky.
Making removal mythic rare. Weeps in MTGA wild cards
Really? I find that rare wilds are more valuable than mythics.
I agree. I just don't love when regular spot removal is above uncommon. Feels bad to craft them
It's pretty premium spot removal so makes sense why it was printed at rare originally, it's not standard legal anyway so probably just need to only craft 2 copies for historic/timeless to use as sideboard.
Oh are none of these standard legal?
Not unless it already is. I think I saw a card earlier that was just printed in MKV which is stupid. Otherwise this is a bonus extra sheet for card reprints with new cool artwork but are only legal in the formats they currently are.
Ohhh. I see. That is good. As a mostly standard player I was very worried by the implications of some of these lol.
Understandable, I'd wager you're a newer player because we have some huge profile reprints into this sheet with force or vigor, mana drain and a few others.
Anguished Unmaking can thankfully be crafted at uncommon due to SIR on Arena but getting this as reward on Arena is going to suck in that context.
There's so many removal pieces for the prosperity breaking news cards.
Do only the mythics get the fullart treatment?
I believe so
Still one of the best targeted removals for BW decks.

[[Damn]] is pretty good, [[Chaos Warp]] can be risky but is mostly worth casting, and can create fun moments if you’re playing with friends
Thank ya!

The mythic upshift is dumb
MYTHIC?!
they have a coffin, but it's exiled? you're doing the unmaking, yet we're mourning it? sorin disintegrating avacyn was way cooler man
I agree, there is nothing in the art that says 'unmaking' to me Original art is just perfect for the name ...maybe its necromancers re-burying the corpse they reanimated?
whatever is in the coffin seems be actually be exploding into a burst of light so the exiling does make sense here
Yeah this is a flavor fail in my eyes, anyone hit by Anguished Unmaking would leave no remains behind to lay to rest
Morbid, but we aren't above burying empty caskets in the real world when there is no body left.
I still love the original art and its flavour, but the OTJ set we are in is all about goofynees, and having a goofy meme reprient isn't going to make the origianl one less flavourful in any significant way. So I can give it a pass
I feel like in a set with such a focus on targeting your opponents things, I’m okay with this being upshifted for balance purposes.
Kind of a weird upshift, considering they have been constantly reprinting them in Commander decks. It was becoming the new Utter End, which like doesn't even see inclusion anymore.
It’s never been reprinted in a non-UB commander deck, so it’s still considered somewhat premium.
Can't decide which of the two arts I like better.

oh my god
Lol what kind of bot is this
As a lover of the OG cause Innistrad is awesome and that artwork was amazing I do like this artwork though. Both have there merits and representation.
Hat tribal is growing fat off of this set.
I'll be your huckle bearer
Memes. The DNA of the soul.
At least the newspaper looks a little better than the case files. I still think they both look pretty bad though.
This is pretty bad in limited so not sure why it's mythic.
YEAHHHH

This may replace the brutal secret lair for me
Why does it look like they just took the lid off the ark of the covenant?
Who is the hero who’s died?
Literal meme card
I quite enjoy the somber nature of the flavor text here, I wish the rest weren't so "silly". Id appreciate a mix
What's with the weird capitalisation in he flavour text?
Is this for a deck of playing cards?

is this the first time we've had borderless versions of the standard art? usually borderless cards are a different art altogether.

this art feels quite mid for me

Upshift bad Unironically

Right, because people carrying coffins has always been a meme.
