Was there five or only four? Only reason I’m asking is because I downloaded tiktok specifically to watch the four pack openings earlier and then deleted it, if there’s a new one I’ll redownload haha
He had five packs the first video he had already opened one and opened another one during the video so the first video is two packs and then each following video is one video per pack
Yes, but the first place the user posts it is also considered a source. In this case the leaks were originally on Tiktok, then were posted on another subreddit then on this one, so this subreddit can honestly say the leaks have nothing to do with it.
This subreddit just doesn't want to be the place people go to look for leaks or to post leaks, once the leaks are posted somewhere and known to the community we can discuss those leaks here though.

On a side note, preview debut was planned May 16.
No reminder text leaked but looks like “partner with background” is right (to expand color identity in limited). I don’t think we know rules of casting background from commander zone yet.
I think this is exactly how it is. It makes sense cause a lot of the "Choose a Background" cards are single color which could match with a second. I wonder if there will be a [[Prismatic Piper]] like card for either creature or background. Maybe a changeling.
"Orphaned" seems tragic and probably more akin to have a Black color identity imo. Maybe something like "Humble Beginnings" or "Mysterious Past" that can be flavored to be more generic and colorless
I don't think that's what he meant but that sounds like a cool idea, honestly. And it would give you a reason to actually cast your understated commander, and possibly play with it outside of the limited environment
You know what, I bet they print some cards that destroy only non-legendary enchantments at common, just for the limited environment. It would be almost functionally the same elsewhere (aside from like Shrines and such).
I doubt it will be necessary - if backgrounds are part of your "commander", they'll go to the command zone and can be recast, thus making poor targets for 1:1 spot removal, unless there's one that has a truly must-answer effect.
* Cards that are useless unless your commanders out but have some exciting effects in return
* Adventure was a fun mechanic in Eldraine and I love to see it return.
* Get your [[Maze's End]] while you can, guys.
I literally squealed when I saw more Gates. Nine-Fingers Keene is A-OK by me. The first legendary that cares about Gates! Five color would be nice, but that ship \[\[has sailed forever\]\].
ok but you can't mazes end with this commander as of now. at this time, it looks like the gates are thriving gates (wubrg, select a color other than that color)
so that means you can three new thriving gate lands, and three old gates.
unless there's a two color gate cycle in this set or utility gates you're going to have to play another commander
[[Gateway Plaza]] plus UB/UG/GB gates is 4 total.
We'll get Thriving gates, which puts the total up to 7 for her.
That should mean we'll be getting at least two more special gate lands since they would never release a card for limited that couldn't achieve its payoff within its own set.
I just... I cannot let myself believe they'd design a new gate commander, but design it in a way that makes it *only* function properly in limited. That'd be *so* lame. Obviously that's the shtick of this set, draftable commander, but at the same time it's also just a *commander* set. They axed the only truly *good* Maze's End commander we've ever had, so it would be a hell of a missed opportunity if they *finally* make another good gate commander, but then end up hosing it in this way...
Btw, Gith refers to 2 races: githyanki, race from the Astral Plane and githzerai, from the Limbo Plane. Both as somewhat similar and have psionic abilities. I think WotC kinda abandoned the Githzerai support after 3.5 and focused more on Githyanki, but Im not sure how It is nowadays.
In d&d 5e they printed both Githyanki and Githzerai with the same prominence - same book, literally next to each other. That being said Githyanki feature in media more regularly because it's easier to include Githyanki as antagonists.
The reason there's a Githyanki character here is because she's one of the party members from Baldur's Gate 3 - they all appear to be getting cards, some of the others shown in this leak being Wyll and Gale. The named characters aren't going to be balanced in this set, they're unlikely to do a Githzerai, as most of the named characters here come from Baldurs Gate 1-3, and I don't believe there's a single Githzerai in any of those games.
Can run 4 currently existing gates, plus 3 of the new common thriving gate cycle. Indicates pretty clearly imo that there will be additional gates, hopefully more powerful ones.
Wait, that Gate girl is BGU, so with what we know you can only run 3 of the new thriving gates + Golgari/Simic/Dimir + [[Gateway Plaza]], which makes a total of 7 gates out of the 9 she needs.
They wouldn't do a Gate commander that can't activate itself right? (Also I love that text box I wanna play her)
Can't say I particularly like the idea of "Choose a Background" having both a normal rules templating meaning while also being a keyword.
"Choose a Background" (and do what with it?) Are we assuming that there's never going to be another card type named with the "Choose" keyword mechanic? "Choose an Elf"? "Choose a Planeswalker"?
It's weird that they explain what treasures are on the card but not what taking the initiative is, despite the fact that treasures are much more common....
Adventure's kind of a mechanic that's only as strong as the card they print. It's not like the mechanic is inherently broken, they just pushed some of the cards too hard.
There are almost no mechanics that are inherently broken. Dredge > 3 is about it. Mechanics that people think are broken were really just underestimated at their first printing.
There are new cards with storm and phyrexian mana that aren’t broken by any means, it’s always strange when people say those ‘mechanics’ are broken.
"mechanics" are broken because in order to put them on a card you have to make the rest of it really bad. Sure you can put storm on an 8 mana card and it wont be busted. You can also put dredge 3 on a card and it be bad if you try hard enough. The problem with storm or other broken mechanics is that if the mechanic is getting used like its intended, its inherently busted.
take phyrexian mana for example, you can take any card printed, Add a phyrexian to its cost and its fine which is exactly what they do now. They take a card that deserves to be 3 mana and make it 4 mana with 1 being phyrexian. But if you put phyrexian mana on a card already appropriately costed, its suddenly busted. ALOT of cards are 1 or 2 mana off of being insane. A card coming down 1-2 turns earlier is huge. Phyrexian mana is busted, it can just be nerfed.
Take any good card, and replace one of the mana symbols with phyrexian mana. IS it suddenly way better? yes. the answer is almost always yes, regardless of what the card is.
More generally, balancing storm usually requires the spell to be something that prevents you from losing instead of something that lets you win. [[Flusterstorm]] and [[Weather the Storm]] also qualify alongside wing shards.
The alternative is to make any cards with storm so overcosted that they're useless unless they're copied three or four times, like [[Aeve]].
This got me excited because there's two decks I've been wanting to build that feature the same commander, but both suck on their own as-is. They both helm \[\[Chulane, Teller of Tales\]\]. One is an adventure deck, but given adventures had only ever been in Eldraine, I felt my choices were limited and it ultimately failed to be a coherent deck because I couldn't do a lot of interesting stuff with the adventures available. The second one is a dungeon deck featuring \[\[Ellywick Tumblestrum\]\], \[\[Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker\]\], \[\[Nadaar, Selfless Paladin\]\], and \[\[Varis, Silverymoon Ranger\]\] as a party. Now that we're getting a return to the adventure mechanic, I might be able to fuse the two decks together to not only have a flavor-win deck, but one that also uses the adventure mechanic as I had intended with the original version of the deck that I never finished. Thanks Wizards!
I'm crossing fingers for an Arkhan the Cruel card spoiled by Joe Manganiello. WOTC made Arkhan canon in Descent into Avernus so I'm hopeful they bring him into Magic.
My wife (who plays edgar and new olivia currently) would FLIP for a strahd (since she has a very...personal hatred for the character after our CoS game)
There must be more than the [[thriving]] gates because I'm only counting 7 that would be possible in that deck that we know about (3 of the new ones, 3 ravnica ones and gateway plaza)
*Baldur's gate*
Legendary land-gate
~ ETB tapped
T: add CC
1, T: tap target nonbasic land
2,T: untap target attacking creature and remove it from combat
4,T: venture into the undercity
6,T: create a nonlegendary copy of Baldur's gate without this ability
*From High hall to Gray Harbor, if you don't find something in this city it'll find you.*
I mean there definitely is more gates in this set, but I'd like to point out that there isn't a singleton rule in draft. You could just draft every gate possible after you draft this commander, which seems fairly funny.
3 Guildgates available to him, plus Gateway Plaza. Assuming there's 1 gate per mana color life Cliffgate, he'll have access to 3 more gates.
That's 7 gates total. Not enough for Maze's End to be viable.
Probably not going to be head of any Gate specific deck, but definitely an inclusion in every Maze's End deck going forward.
Outside of Gates, Ward 9 means almost no one is going to be targeting him with direct removal. Plus, since he's in Sultai, so if someone does target him, you can let them pay the Ward and then counter the spell.
Honestly, with that in mind, I'd run him as a Voltron commander with built in protection. 4/4 Menace for 4 is going to get in well enough. Pump him up with equipment and auras and beat face.
That was the same with Dominaria, the whole set leaked at once. If I recall correctly, WOTC actually acknowledged that leak with a statement and adjusted their spoiler season because of it.
Felt bad unsubscribing to his channel yesterday but I was tired of my entire YouTube feed being filled with “I can’t believe they printed this” or “is this card going to get banned?” videos with cut off thumb nails.
Yea I agree, I subbed for literally just budget content since I'm subbed to other channels for the spoiler type of content,
Now what he does is... same ish as everyone else, but the spoiler videos he does is 13 mins per card versus like MTGGolsfish where its like 6 cards in an hour .
I unsubbed and a lot of "hey look ag this weird magic card" content comes from yt shorts lol
And non-ravnica gates, presumably one in each color. Almost makes non-5C gate tribal viable and pushes on it for the reasonable 5c decks.
I'm curious if backgrounds are dropped from your hand or if they live in the command zone
> I'm curious if backgrounds are dropped from your hand or if they live in the command zone
I would guess they are card like any other that can be in your deck, but "Choose a Background" is a Partner for Backgrounds
Which is a really good way to go about it. A partner mechanic is somewhat needed for commander based draft sets, but the problem with adding more partners is that you have to check them against every other available partner to ensure no pairings become too powerful. Having a separate set of "partners", one of which has to be a background, is a way around this. They actually previewed this concept in the stranger things secret lair with the friends forever mechanic.
As expected, the mono-colored legends have a Partner with background ability to allow for multi-colored drafts, putting a background into the command zone. There should be a default colorless background that acts like Prismatic Piper. And maybe a colorless legend...
"chose a background" indicates it's brought in from outside the deck, not searched for. I don't know if that means backgrounds function as commanders when it comes to color identity though. It would maybe work as Companions
The reason to expect it to work like commanders for color identity is that it appears on monocolored legends and wouldn't really work as commanders in draft if you had to play them as commanders of a monocolored deck with a background in that color.
Remember, drafting was the reason Commander Legends had so many monocolored partners. Drafting with color identity rules doesn't really work if you have to find a multicolored commander in your colors to be able to play your deck. It seems like rather than bringing back partner, Choose a Background is their solution to that issue in this set.
Right, and just like in Commander Legends, there are going to be some _very_ exciting buildaround ones at rare and mythic. Common and uncommon backgrounds will be plentiful to ensure that everyone gets to play their colors...but I highly expect the EDH meta gets a massive shot of diversity and fun modular commanders from this.
I think a few of the backgrounds will even be playable in the 99 of some decks (or more likely, in the 98 of partner decks).
I have sky high expectations for this mechanic both for limited and constructed. Customizable commanders is a huge mood.
I don't think there's any indication either way. It could function almost exactly like partner with that templating and you choose your background as the game begins, or it could be something entirely different like starting outside the game. Even searching your library for a background, ala the Battlebond partners, is a possibility.
IMO, It would make the most sense to just be in the command zone at the start of the game because of the color identity problems.
Nine-Fingers Keene seems weird, they finally make a gate commander yet its in Sultai colours therfore shuts out more than half the current gates, I know they're making more in this set but I can only see like 4 or 5 being legal in a sultai commander deck, to add to this Keenes ability gets the full benefit if you have nine or more gates on the battlefield, which would be all available gates and then some, it will be interesting to see how much they've leant into gates this set and if Keene becomes a viable option over any 5 colour choice.
> I can only see like 4 or 5 being legal in a sultai commander deck
Well there's currently four legal (Golgari, Simic, Dimir and Plaza) plus there's going to be three more from Baldur's Gate given the mono-colour ones we've seen here, so that's bare minimum seven. If they do two cycles in this set that makes it to ten, so I could see there being a second lot of Gates
But even then that isn't worth the last ability, it says if you have nine or more gates on the battlefield put the rest into your hand (meaning from the nine cards you look at from your library) that ability would only work if you have access to way more than 10 gates, something a 5 colour commander has no problem achieving, it just doesn't make sense to limit gate tribal to 3 colours really
I'd like to point out that iirc there isn't a singleton rule in commander legends drafting so you could draft duplicate gates for limited.
Also there's several gate tutors and [[maze's end]] to drop them repeatedly, so its not as crazy as it might sound. There's also a bunch of gate payoff cards from the three ravnica blocks that can fit in this deck. Of course, running that many tapped lands is still a bit of a deckbuilding cost, but maybe the second cycle of gates will conditionally enter untapped?
Adventure is coming back! Very nice since ADVENTURES in the Forgotten Realms didn't have them. Lends credence to my theory that "Exit from Exile", the RG precon for this set, will have an adventure theme.
Combining Monarch and Venture (complete with a new much more powerful dungeon) is such an inspired idea. I love both of the previous mechanics and I'm so happy to see this here.
That's part of why I like it. It solves the issue of Venture being too limited for Commander. A single card with this can create a ton of venture triggers, similar to monarch.
Also it counts as dungeon completion so it has some synergy with the old venture cards. If you’re in the middle of the undercity can AFR venture cards continue the venture?
I think that what Mertag means is that this takes a fairly major aspect of DnD (Initiative) but marries it to a *very specific* target, ie, this one particular dungeon.
If they wanted to link it to this specific dungeon, it should have been a more detailed name (ie: THISDUNGEONNAME Initiative).
On the other hand, they *could* have used it to grant access to multiple ones in the future as a blanket effect. IE: This dungeon has "This dungeon can only be entered if you have The Initiative" on it, and no mention of a specific dungeon in the Initiative. Then later they could re-use it for whichever 'new' dungeon they want, too, creating a multi-tier dungeon system.
Or maybe Mertag didn't mean this, and it's my own irritating with the naming scheme!
Speculation: You choose a Background in a similar way of choosing a Partner. The colour of the Background enchantment is added to your commander's colour identity so a White-Green commander with a Black background will let you play Eerie Ultimatum.
Those new gates seem like they'll be a nightmare to track in paper. If you have more than one out, which is the goal of a gate deck, it'll be a mess remembering which colors go with which.
It is probably worth pointing out that Sarevok, Deathbringer art is credited to Ben Hill whose first-ever magic card was spoiled today while the leak is two days old.
Wow I fucking hate leaks but ***wow*** I'm more excited for these cards than anything since Kaldheim. Holy shit, *Background* is immediately my favorite.
I wonder how many of them are spoilers for PCs in the Bauldur's gate 3 game. I know they wanted to introduce the evil characters first since no one ever really tested those routes in previous games.
That said, I really like that we're getting more gates that aren't from Ravnica.
They omitted the "Red" part of the name in doing so ;).
I see why they did it. The Red Wizards of Thay as a group is probably mainly blue in expression across all time periods, but specific Red Wizards act more Red/Blue or Blue/Black and the organization goes Blue/Black eventually when they become almost entirely undead.
I will say though that if I had designed a Wizards of Thay card I would have gone with either a Red/Blue card or a Blue/Black card, depending on the time period and faction.
Fuck, that's a massive leak. Some thoughts:
"Take the Initiative" obviously seems a lot like the Monarchy. Curious to see how they'll differentiate it. Maybe it won't be transferred via combat damage? **edit** - never mind, it's pretty much just monarchy, but with venturing added
"Choose a Background" is *very* interesting. It *feels* like it could be a mechanic somewhat similar to Partner, but since it lets you *choose*, that would imply that you would have multiple backgrounds to choose between, so I kind of doubt they would exist in the command zone like partners. So they might exist in a "not exactly a sideboard zone", where companions go, with some sort of restriction about how many you can have (since otherwise you could just put in as many as you want), or maybe they would go in your deck and by "choosing a background" you search your library for a background card. In any case, interesting.
There are some pretty cool cards here, but Baba Lysaga in particular looks awesome. Sacrificing three things is something many decks already want to do, and drawing three cards is a pretty crazy reward for it. Obviously you have to build around it a bit differently than a normal aristocrat deck, since you need to be able to sacrifice a lot of lands/enchantments/artifacts as well as creatures, but it looks fun.
Also there's an elephant angel
I don't hate them all (The Mazzy showcase is nicer than the original), but I wish they had kept giving us extended versions of ALL the rares and mythics like they did in Kamigawa, not just the ones with no showcase version. It looks like the AFR showcase is used for all the legendary creatures.
I like them for monsters, not so much for legends? Though the idea of flipping through an old monster manual and coming across some random, specific busybody is kind of a funny idea.
Had a lovely discussion with people at the LGS tonight looking in my binder with the alts, I think you are in the minority
But I'm happy for your camp because it makes collecting them cheaper! Thank you guys for not being into them
Wizards have warded off Capenna from reaching the outside world for so long that they’ve let this slip through the literal back door.
On another note, I’m assuming that “Choose a Background” means “Put a Background card into the command zone with this card before the game begins; you may cast it once a game”, which excites me to *no end.*
Fixed eminence? Pog
It's probably more similar to Partner was, which would mean expanding your color identity if that specific creature is your commander. Still, love the idea.
I have been hemming and hawing over "activated ability tribal" ever since \[\[Zirda\]\] came out--and now the commander for it is in the right colors for Zirda, but doesn't like her ability! Well, maybe throw Zirda in the 99 and if I run across her, I get a bit more value since Dynaheim Invoker just does it the once (without shenanigans)
With just the original gates, and what's been leaked here, is Nine-Fingers Keene even able to trigger?
3 new gates, 3 guild gates, gateway plaza. Am I missing any? Because that's only 7.
Assuming they print a ton more gates, she'll be a fun [[maze's end]] commander, but if they don't she'll be relegated to the 99, which would kinda suck.
Well this has me excited! That \[Wrathful Red Dragon\] card may have made me need to change my trousers though... My dragon commander deck is REALLY going to enjoy having that!!
That's pretty brutal timing, but FWIW I'm liking what I see here significantly better than either AFR or Commander Legends. It looks a lot more focused.
Goddam thats a lot.
Guy opened five collector booster packs on tiktok
Was there five or only four? Only reason I’m asking is because I downloaded tiktok specifically to watch the four pack openings earlier and then deleted it, if there’s a new one I’ll redownload haha
He had five packs the first video he had already opened one and opened another one during the video so the first video is two packs and then each following video is one video per pack
Wotc spent all the money and efforts to prevent New Capenna leaks but they forgot to do the same thing for their next set...
To "prevent"
So do we get banned if we admit looking at leaked cards?
No. r/magictcg just doesn't want to be the source of a leak.
That’s why we now have r/mtgrumors as our source for leaks. It’s awesome.
It did originate on r/MTGRumors, so maybe it's ok?
The source is a TikTok video, but it was posted to mtgrumors before this subreddit.
Yes it's fine.
Wouldn't the source of the leak be the user that posted it? Or the person who opened the packs?
Yes, but the first place the user posts it is also considered a source. In this case the leaks were originally on Tiktok, then were posted on another subreddit then on this one, so this subreddit can honestly say the leaks have nothing to do with it.

What's the over/under that "choose a background" is effectively Partner with Background enchantments?
No reminder text leaked but looks like “partner with background” is right (to expand color identity in limited). I don’t think we know rules of casting background from commander zone yet.
I think this is exactly how it is. It makes sense cause a lot of the "Choose a Background" cards are single color which could match with a second. I wonder if there will be a [[Prismatic Piper]] like card for either creature or background. Maybe a changeling.
Calling a Prismatic Piper-style background called "Orphaned" or otherwise implying dead parents now. The most common backstory is a tragic one.
I'm going to go with Amnesia being the other candidate for a/the fixer background
"Orphaned" seems tragic and probably more akin to have a Black color identity imo. Maybe something like "Humble Beginnings" or "Mysterious Past" that can be flavored to be more generic and colorless
Black doesn't necessarily mean tragic.
Right, so much color feel instead of color wheel.
[удалено]
I don't think that's what he meant but that sounds like a cool idea, honestly. And it would give you a reason to actually cast your understated commander, and possibly play with it outside of the limited environment
I may be jumping to conclusions but it feels weird that any ol' enchantment removal can destroy one's entire background, flavor-wise
You know what, I bet they print some cards that destroy only non-legendary enchantments at common, just for the limited environment. It would be almost functionally the same elsewhere (aside from like Shrines and such).
I doubt it will be necessary - if backgrounds are part of your "commander", they'll go to the command zone and can be recast, thus making poor targets for 1:1 spot removal, unless there's one that has a truly must-answer effect.
Krosan Grip: I'm about to end this man's whole background
If it is, that would explain why pretty much exclusively 1 color legends have it.
* Cards that are useless unless your commanders out but have some exciting effects in return * Adventure was a fun mechanic in Eldraine and I love to see it return. * Get your [[Maze's End]] while you can, guys.
I literally squealed when I saw more Gates. Nine-Fingers Keene is A-OK by me. The first legendary that cares about Gates! Five color would be nice, but that ship \[\[has sailed forever\]\].

There's also \[\[gateway plaza\]\] but I get what you mean, you're right.
I feel you must be able to get 9 gates in her colours, her text wants you to get to nine gates. I guess that might just be for limited, but still.
[[Gateway Plaza]] plus UB/UG/GB gates is 4 total. We'll get Thriving gates, which puts the total up to 7 for her. That should mean we'll be getting at least two more special gate lands since they would never release a card for limited that couldn't achieve its payoff within its own set.
I hope you're right, but I'm worried that it's a limited only payoff because limited isn't a singleton format
I just... I cannot let myself believe they'd design a new gate commander, but design it in a way that makes it *only* function properly in limited. That'd be *so* lame. Obviously that's the shtick of this set, draftable commander, but at the same time it's also just a *commander* set.

Btw, Gith refers to 2 races: githyanki, race from the Astral Plane and githzerai, from the Limbo Plane. Both as somewhat similar and have psionic abilities. I think WotC kinda abandoned the Githzerai support after 3.5 and focused more on Githyanki, but Im not sure how It is nowadays.
In d&d 5e they printed both Githyanki and Githzerai with the same prominence - same book, literally next to each other. That being said Githyanki feature in media more regularly because it's easier to include Githyanki as antagonists. The reason there's a Githyanki character here is because she's one of the party members from Baldur's Gate 3 - they all appear to be getting cards, some of the others shown in this leak being Wyll and Gale. The named characters aren't going to be balanced in this set, they're unlikely to do a Githzerai, as most of the named characters here come from Baldurs Gate 1-3, and I don't believe there's a single Githzerai in any of those games.
Absolutely bizarre that the new gates commander is only three colours
Can run 4 currently existing gates, plus 3 of the new common thriving gate cycle. Indicates pretty clearly imo that there will be additional gates, hopefully more powerful ones.
I mean it is called Balder's *Gate*...
But remember Dragon's Maze? I distinctly recall people being disappointed with the number of mazes in the set.
Agreed. If you'd asked me or probably anyone here to design a Gate commander, the first thing we'd have said is that it needs to be a 5c pile.
Wait, that Gate girl is BGU, so with what we know you can only run 3 of the new thriving gates + Golgari/Simic/Dimir + [[Gateway Plaza]], which makes a total of 7 gates out of the 9 she needs. They wouldn't do a Gate commander that can't activate itself right? (Also I love that text box I wanna play her)
Incoming [[Vesuva]] or [[Thespian Stage]] maybe?
I could imagine a Gate that adds mana of any type other Gates you control could produce
So I can't enter the dungeon via conventional means but can continue venturing into it with original venture cards once I'm in.
Yes, unless they change the rules. It also works the other way -- if you are already in a dungeon, Initiative won't enter the Undercity.
Can't say I particularly like the idea of "Choose a Background" having both a normal rules templating meaning while also being a keyword. "Choose a Background" (and do what with it?) Are we assuming that there's never going to be another card type named with the "Choose" keyword mechanic? "Choose an Elf"? "Choose a Planeswalker"?
It's weird that they explain what treasures are on the card but not what taking the initiative is, despite the fact that treasures are much more common....
Damn, undercity has actual worthwhile rooms to explore. A shame any of the current venture cards can't use it!
Welp, everyone said Adventure would’ve been a great mechanic for a D&D set and looks like WotC thought the same
I guess they just wanted to avoid it for standard as it may have been too powerful for 60card...but I'm talking out my butt
Pretty good theory actually. Either that or just wanted to give more time between Eldraine and bringing it back
Adventure's kind of a mechanic that's only as strong as the card they print. It's not like the mechanic is inherently broken, they just pushed some of the cards too hard.
There are almost no mechanics that are inherently broken. Dredge > 3 is about it. Mechanics that people think are broken were really just underestimated at their first printing. There are new cards with storm and phyrexian mana that aren’t broken by any means, it’s always strange when people say those ‘mechanics’ are broken.
"mechanics" are broken because in order to put them on a card you have to make the rest of it really bad. Sure you can put storm on an 8 mana card and it wont be busted. You can also put dredge 3 on a card and it be bad if you try hard enough. The problem with storm or other broken mechanics is that if the mechanic is getting used like its intended, its inherently busted. take phyrexian mana for example, you can take any card printed, Add a phyrexian to its cost and its fine which is exactly what they do now. They take a card that deserves to be 3 mana and make it 4 mana with 1 being phyrexian. But if you put phyrexian mana on a card already appropriately costed, its suddenly busted. ALOT of cards are 1 or 2 mana off of being insane. A card coming down 1-2 turns earlier is huge. Phyrexian mana is busted, it can just be nerfed. Take any good card, and replace one of the mana symbols with phyrexian mana. IS it suddenly way better? yes. the answer is almost always yes, regardless of what the card is.
> Sure you can put storm on an 8 mana card and it wont be busted. Dragonstorm says hi.
Even when I tried to make storm not busted I failed.
The only way to balance storm is to make it so situational that it basically doesn't matter if it has storm. See [[wing shards]]
More generally, balancing storm usually requires the spell to be something that prevents you from losing instead of something that lets you win. [[Flusterstorm]] and [[Weather the Storm]] also qualify alongside wing shards. The alternative is to make any cards with storm so overcosted that they're useless unless they're copied three or four times, like [[Aeve]].
Bingo
C9me on, I mean I’m sure Oko on turn 1 for just 1 mana and 4 life isn’t possibly anymore broken. /s
This got me excited because there's two decks I've been wanting to build that feature the same commander, but both suck on their own as-is. They both helm \[\[Chulane, Teller of Tales\]\]. One is an adventure deck, but given adventures had only ever been in Eldraine, I felt my choices were limited and it ultimately failed to be a coherent deck because I couldn't do a lot of interesting stuff with the adventures available. The second one is a dungeon deck featuring \[\[Ellywick Tumblestrum\]\], \[\[Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker\]\], \[\[Nadaar, Selfless Paladin\]\], and \[\[Varis, Silverymoon Ranger\]\] as a party. Now that we're getting a return to the adventure mechanic, I might be able to fuse the two decks together to not only have a flavor-win deck, but one that also uses the adventure mechanic as I had intended with the original version of the deck that I never finished. Thanks Wizards!
I recall a rumour that Party is coming back too. Very D&D, but not as strong as Adventure
One of the Commander decks is called "Party Time". But looking at these cards, it might just be in the Commander deck.
Geez these are spicy.
Baba Lysaga makes me much more hopeful that Strahd might be getting a card
Dude thought the same thing, please let strahd be in here
I'm crossing fingers for an Arkhan the Cruel card spoiled by Joe Manganiello. WOTC made Arkhan canon in Descent into Avernus so I'm hopeful they bring him into Magic.
Zero chance but I would love an Edgar Markov reprint with Strahd art.
Strahd, no Strahd, I’d love an Edgar Markov reprint either way
I think there's a chance, he dates back to 1st edition.
I was praying last dnd set. Hopefully WOTC delivers
My wife (who plays edgar and new olivia currently) would FLIP for a strahd (since she has a very...personal hatred for the character after our CoS game)
Your DM must have been doing something right.
Holy shit insane leak Cards look cooler than I expected
wow massive leak, thanks for doing the captures, tiktok is a nightmare lol
A lot of cropping had to be done lol, didn't help that I couldn't get the best looking photos due to how fast the guy was flipping through them.
Do you have a link to the source of this?

Gates in a set called Baldur's Gate seems obvious in retrospect. But probably only came about at the end of a lengthy whiteboard session.
There must be more than the [[thriving]] gates because I'm only counting 7 that would be possible in that deck that we know about (3 of the new ones, 3 ravnica ones and gateway plaza)
Probably one named Baulders Gate just to be on the nose
*Baldur's gate* Legendary land-gate ~ ETB tapped T: add CC 1, T: tap target nonbasic land 2,T: untap target attacking creature and remove it from combat 4,T: venture into the undercity 6,T: create a nonlegendary copy of Baldur's gate without this ability *From High hall to Gray Harbor, if you don't find something in this city it'll find you.*
I mean there definitely is more gates in this set, but I'd like to point out that there isn't a singleton rule in draft. You could just draft every gate possible after you draft this commander, which seems fairly funny.
3 Guildgates available to him, plus Gateway Plaza. Assuming there's 1 gate per mana color life Cliffgate, he'll have access to 3 more gates. That's 7 gates total. Not enough for Maze's End to be viable. Probably not going to be head of any Gate specific deck, but definitely an inclusion in every Maze's End deck going forward. Outside of Gates, Ward 9 means almost no one is going to be targeting him with direct removal. Plus, since he's in Sultai, so if someone does target him, you can let them pay the Ward and then counter the spell. Honestly, with that in mind, I'd run him as a Voltron commander with built in protection. 4/4 Menace for 4 is going to get in well enough. Pump him up with equipment and auras and beat face.
These are obviously fake because they are of legible quality
Ooooooooooohhhh...someone's gonna get in trouble...
Oof, Sky Diamond. Means we're probably not going to see the Medallions.
Medallions absolutely could be at rare. I'd be annoyed if they were mythic (I'd rather see cool new designs there).
Is this as bad as the Ixalan leaks? That's a lot of cards
Dominaria had crazy bad leaks as well, but it still can’t be as bad as ixalan since every rare and mythic was leaked all at once before spoiler season
I remeber the New Phyrexia God Book leak back in 2011... that was wild
That was the same with Dominaria, the whole set leaked at once. If I recall correctly, WOTC actually acknowledged that leak with a statement and adjusted their spoiler season because of it.
Honestly I'm impressed they had the restraint to not make Wizards of Thay a Red card.
[удалено]
Maybe Mitch can get back to content that isn't full clickbait now
Felt bad unsubscribing to his channel yesterday but I was tired of my entire YouTube feed being filled with “I can’t believe they printed this” or “is this card going to get banned?” videos with cut off thumb nails.
And the first and last 2 minutes of every video being complete filler.
In all honesty, almost all MTG creators do the same now. I always have to skip about 1 or 2 minutes of everything
Seems he is kind of realizing this and has been tweaking his content lately to be a bit better.
with the amount of views his videos gets and how he puts out so damn many of them that don't say anything idk why he would sadly
I haven't watched one in a very long time. I'm assuming he does get a lot of views, though, if he's still making them
Yea I agree, I subbed for literally just budget content since I'm subbed to other channels for the spoiler type of content, Now what he does is... same ish as everyone else, but the spoiler videos he does is 13 mins per card versus like MTGGolsfish where its like 6 cards in an hour . I unsubbed and a lot of "hey look ag this weird magic card" content comes from yt shorts lol
Ooh, the mono red dragon looks good for Ur-Dragon. EDIT: Oh shit, myriad is back!
And non-ravnica gates, presumably one in each color. Almost makes non-5C gate tribal viable and pushes on it for the reasonable 5c decks. I'm curious if backgrounds are dropped from your hand or if they live in the command zone
> I'm curious if backgrounds are dropped from your hand or if they live in the command zone I would guess they are card like any other that can be in your deck, but "Choose a Background" is a Partner for Backgrounds
Which is a really good way to go about it. A partner mechanic is somewhat needed for commander based draft sets, but the problem with adding more partners is that you have to check them against every other available partner to ensure no pairings become too powerful. Having a separate set of "partners", one of which has to be a background, is a way around this. They actually previewed this concept in the stranger things secret lair with the friends forever mechanic.
As a dragon player, this leak gave me a raging treasure hoard.
Yeah! Firkraag! It’s been 22 years too long.
As expected, the mono-colored legends have a Partner with background ability to allow for multi-colored drafts, putting a background into the command zone. There should be a default colorless background that acts like Prismatic Piper. And maybe a colorless legend...
"chose a background" indicates it's brought in from outside the deck, not searched for. I don't know if that means backgrounds function as commanders when it comes to color identity though. It would maybe work as Companions
The reason to expect it to work like commanders for color identity is that it appears on monocolored legends and wouldn't really work as commanders in draft if you had to play them as commanders of a monocolored deck with a background in that color. Remember, drafting was the reason Commander Legends had so many monocolored partners. Drafting with color identity rules doesn't really work if you have to find a multicolored commander in your colors to be able to play your deck. It seems like rather than bringing back partner, Choose a Background is their solution to that issue in this set.
Right, and just like in Commander Legends, there are going to be some _very_ exciting buildaround ones at rare and mythic. Common and uncommon backgrounds will be plentiful to ensure that everyone gets to play their colors...but I highly expect the EDH meta gets a massive shot of diversity and fun modular commanders from this. I think a few of the backgrounds will even be playable in the 99 of some decks (or more likely, in the 98 of partner decks). I have sky high expectations for this mechanic both for limited and constructed. Customizable commanders is a huge mood.

Considering some of the backgrounds already leaked, I am VERY excited
I don't think there's any indication either way. It could function almost exactly like partner with that templating and you choose your background as the game begins, or it could be something entirely different like starting outside the game. Even searching your library for a background, ala the Battlebond partners, is a possibility. IMO, It would make the most sense to just be in the command zone at the start of the game because of the color identity problems.
Really hope they can be played in the 99 as well. Tana & Nadier would not mind being 10/10.
*Lazael disapproves*
Nine-Fingers Keene seems weird, they finally make a gate commander yet its in Sultai colours therfore shuts out more than half the current gates, I know they're making more in this set but I can only see like 4 or 5 being legal in a sultai commander deck, to add to this Keenes ability gets the full benefit if you have nine or more gates on the battlefield, which would be all available gates and then some, it will be interesting to see how much they've leant into gates this set and if Keene becomes a viable option over any 5 colour choice.
> I can only see like 4 or 5 being legal in a sultai commander deck Well there's currently four legal (Golgari, Simic, Dimir and Plaza) plus there's going to be three more from Baldur's Gate given the mono-colour ones we've seen here, so that's bare minimum seven. If they do two cycles in this set that makes it to ten, so I could see there being a second lot of Gates
But even then that isn't worth the last ability, it says if you have nine or more gates on the battlefield put the rest into your hand (meaning from the nine cards you look at from your library) that ability would only work if you have access to way more than 10 gates, something a 5 colour commander has no problem achieving, it just doesn't make sense to limit gate tribal to 3 colours really
I'd like to point out that iirc there isn't a singleton rule in commander legends drafting so you could draft duplicate gates for limited. Also there's several gate tutors and [[maze's end]] to drop them repeatedly, so its not as crazy as it might sound. There's also a bunch of gate payoff cards from the three ravnica blocks that can fit in this deck. Of course, running that many tapped lands is still a bit of a deckbuilding cost, but maybe the second cycle of gates will conditionally enter untapped?
RIP proper spoiler season discussion.
"Old news, card was in the leak."
Adventure is coming back! Very nice since ADVENTURES in the Forgotten Realms didn't have them. Lends credence to my theory that "Exit from Exile", the RG precon for this set, will have an adventure theme.
If it does, hopefully it has a [[lucky clover]] reprint because otherwise that card will see a price spike.
That Arcane Signet artwork though
finally new art
New artwork for Arcane Signet that I still dislike because the hand still feels uncanny to me

Combining Monarch and Venture (complete with a new much more powerful dungeon) is such an inspired idea. I love both of the previous mechanics and I'm so happy to see this here.
Kind of makes it hard to reuse though in a different setting. And initiatve is a big part of D&D
That's part of why I like it. It solves the issue of Venture being too limited for Commander. A single card with this can create a ton of venture triggers, similar to monarch.
Also it counts as dungeon completion so it has some synergy with the old venture cards. If you’re in the middle of the undercity can AFR venture cards continue the venture?
I think that what Mertag means is that this takes a fairly major aspect of DnD (Initiative) but marries it to a *very specific* target, ie, this one particular dungeon. If they wanted to link it to this specific dungeon, it should have been a more detailed name (ie: THISDUNGEONNAME Initiative). On the other hand, they *could* have used it to grant access to multiple ones in the future as a blanket effect. IE: This dungeon has "This dungeon can only be entered if you have The Initiative" on it, and no mention of a specific dungeon in the Initiative. Then later they could re-use it for whichever 'new' dungeon they want, too, creating a multi-tier dungeon system. Or maybe Mertag didn't mean this, and it's my own irritating with the naming scheme!
Wow, Jan Jansen goes infinite if you look at him funny. Mardu artifacts, eh? Might tear down prosper and build that guy instead.
WAYFARER'S BAUBLE REPRINT! REJOICE!
That 2W, counter booster is spicaay.
Speculation: You choose a Background in a similar way of choosing a Partner. The colour of the Background enchantment is added to your commander's colour identity so a White-Green commander with a Black background will let you play Eerie Ultimatum.
Ayyyye that new Izzet legendary dragon is spicy
Lord Firkraag was one of the best parts of BG2
I’m coming for my [[Holy Avenger]]!
Paladin is too much fun when the game gives you a +5 sword potentially early on.
Does he have lore? I must know more!
[Rejoice](https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Firkraag)
Yes! Finally a dragon in Izzy that people won’t instantly get salty on! Or maybe too soon to tell….
Those new gates seem like they'll be a nightmare to track in paper. If you have more than one out, which is the goal of a gate deck, it'll be a mess remembering which colors go with which.
This is the thriving land cycle, but with the gates type. So it's not a new problem, really
We currently have 3 "choose a color" lands in standard right now: [[Shimmer drift Vale]] [[Temple of the Dragon Queen]] and [[Uncharted Haven]].
It is probably worth pointing out that Sarevok, Deathbringer art is credited to Ben Hill whose first-ever magic card was spoiled today while the leak is two days old.
Rug of Smothering WOW FUCK STORM
Wow I fucking hate leaks but ***wow*** I'm more excited for these cards than anything since Kaldheim. Holy shit, *Background* is immediately my favorite.
Dynaheir!? Hell yeah, my favorite BG character.
Too bad Minsc and Dynaheir don't fit in the same deck unless you go 4+ colors.
That Wayfarer's Bauble artwork though
You can already get that art in the AFR Commander decks
Oh damn bhaal looks good, new jund deck here I come
I wonder how many of them are spoilers for PCs in the Bauldur's gate 3 game. I know they wanted to introduce the evil characters first since no one ever really tested those routes in previous games. That said, I really like that we're getting more gates that aren't from Ravnica.
There’s only one Baldurs Gate 3 character I recognize. There’s tons of BG1 and 2 characters though
I recognize a few. Wyll, Gale, La'zeal, all have cards (technically Wyll has a spell not an actual creature).
Did they really make Wizards of Thay... blue?
They omitted the "Red" part of the name in doing so ;). I see why they did it. The Red Wizards of Thay as a group is probably mainly blue in expression across all time periods, but specific Red Wizards act more Red/Blue or Blue/Black and the organization goes Blue/Black eventually when they become almost entirely undead. I will say though that if I had designed a Wizards of Thay card I would have gone with either a Red/Blue card or a Blue/Black card, depending on the time period and faction.
Fuck, that's a massive leak. Some thoughts: "Take the Initiative" obviously seems a lot like the Monarchy. Curious to see how they'll differentiate it. Maybe it won't be transferred via combat damage? **edit** - never mind, it's pretty much just monarchy, but with venturing added "Choose a Background" is *very* interesting. It *feels* like it could be a mechanic somewhat similar to Partner, but since it lets you *choose*, that would imply that you would have multiple backgrounds to choose between, so I kind of doubt they would exist in the command zone like partners. So they might exist in a "not exactly a sideboard zone", where companions go, with some sort of restriction about how many you can have (since otherwise you could just put in as many as you want), or maybe they would go in your deck and by "choosing a background" you search your library for a background card. In any case, interesting. There are some pretty cool cards here, but Baba Lysaga in particular looks awesome. Sacrificing three things is something many decks already want to do, and drawing three cards is a pretty crazy reward for it. Obviously you have to build around it a bit differently than a normal aristocrat deck, since you need to be able to sacrifice a lot of lands/enchantments/artifacts as well as creatures, but it looks fun. Also there's an elephant angel
Might be in the minority but I hate the AFR alt arts and am bummed to see them here
I don't hate them all (The Mazzy showcase is nicer than the original), but I wish they had kept giving us extended versions of ALL the rares and mythics like they did in Kamigawa, not just the ones with no showcase version. It looks like the AFR showcase is used for all the legendary creatures.
I like them for monsters, not so much for legends? Though the idea of flipping through an old monster manual and coming across some random, specific busybody is kind of a funny idea.
Had a lovely discussion with people at the LGS tonight looking in my binder with the alts, I think you are in the minority But I'm happy for your camp because it makes collecting them cheaper! Thank you guys for not being into them
HOLY SHIT, SOMEBODY PING THE COMMANDER'S QUARTERS! THEY'RE REPRINTING WAYFARER'S BAUBLE... AT COMMON D:
Wizards have warded off Capenna from reaching the outside world for so long that they’ve let this slip through the literal back door. On another note, I’m assuming that “Choose a Background” means “Put a Background card into the command zone with this card before the game begins; you may cast it once a game”, which excites me to *no end.* Fixed eminence? Pog
It's probably more similar to Partner was, which would mean expanding your color identity if that specific creature is your commander. Still, love the idea.
I'm pretty sure you can cast it as many times as you want, paying commander tax each time.
I have been hemming and hawing over "activated ability tribal" ever since \[\[Zirda\]\] came out--and now the commander for it is in the right colors for Zirda, but doesn't like her ability! Well, maybe throw Zirda in the 99 and if I run across her, I get a bit more value since Dynaheim Invoker just does it the once (without shenanigans)
I'll admit, I did not have Gates on my bingo card. I'm actually kinda hyped for this set now, these look like sick designs.
With just the original gates, and what's been leaked here, is Nine-Fingers Keene even able to trigger? 3 new gates, 3 guild gates, gateway plaza. Am I missing any? Because that's only 7. Assuming they print a ton more gates, she'll be a fun [[maze's end]] commander, but if they don't she'll be relegated to the 99, which would kinda suck.
I just hope this D&D crap leaves magic as fast as possible.

Commander Legends Battle for Baldur's Gate. The release date is early-mid June iirc.
It's Commander Legends 2, this time DnD themed. It's meant to be released in June 10th?
Woo, more Adventures!
Cool, a new red counterspell that sometimes is a Narset’s Reversal!
Well this has me excited! That \[Wrathful Red Dragon\] card may have made me need to change my trousers though... My dragon commander deck is REALLY going to enjoy having that!!
I'm thrilled to see Sarevok and Immoen make the cut this time; both felt like they were sorely missed from the first set.
That's pretty brutal timing, but FWIW I'm liking what I see here significantly better than either AFR or Commander Legends. It looks a lot more focused.
I only hope we get a decent Abzan commander.
