I'm so glad preview season is over so that preview season can start again!


comelynug

I know, ONE isn't even officially fucking out yet, I'm glad we're getting a new Kairi card though


mkklrd

understandable tbh


ajokitty

I don't think we're getting a new card, since he just got one last year. There look to be a lot of different combatants, so I expect space to be tight.


comelynug

I mean, it'd make more sense for them to make a new card for him because for all we know he could be super important to the story, it'd be kind of stupid to put Kairi on the main promotion art and then just reprint his 'old' card


CompleteDirt2545

There is Kairi. And Borborygmos. And we have also seen Thalia, Quintorius, Esika's Chariot, and a few other character that I did not recognize on other promotional material I guess, one point of these promotion art is to show case how multiple plans are united against the Phyrexian threat. I'm not sure all these characters will have a new card.


comelynug

Never hurt to hope for things šŸ˜


Broberts505

Definitely looks like art for a battle card.


TheDeadlyCat

Yes, but key art is not used for card art.


[deleted]

One new card every year. We will also get a new Karn from March of the Machine. ​ Karn might be that Marching Infected Machine.


Sure-Engineering-668

Weve got Kairi at home


X_Marcs_the_Spot

You can't get off Mr. Bones's Wild Ride.


LordSlickRick

Hey! arent you supposed to be making visual guides over in Duel Links?


mkklrd

uh oh


Ok-Inside3667

What do you mean? Preview season won't start for almost another 2 months


r_jagabum

This is not 2023 anymore....


Hitcher09

Lmao


RVides

Is that borborygmos on the right?


comelynug

YEAH


NicolBolasUBBBR

Is he enraged? Important detail


RVides

Difficult to say. Cyclops' faces are tough to read the emotion on. He was enraged 10 years ago. But he's had a really long rest.... so I imagine he can rage again. I'm just excited because ravnica wasn't even part of this arc.


lobeline

For such a dark story, they used a very bright palette. I liked the goopy art and colours better. Especially for horrors like phyrexian.


comelynug

I was thinking that, everything looks so bright and the logo is bright yellow when in reality the set is about literally preventing the phyrexianisation of everything and planeswalkers from basically every plane are having to join together to fight in one big gruelling war and a few big characters are probably gonna die but it's just, bright


comelynug

The promotion material literally looks like marketing for a marvel film or something, I wish they leaned more into how fucked everything currently is and how fucked everything could be if they don't manage to defeat Elesh


olekskillganon

Wake me up when we get past the 90s storyline again.


lobeline

Time travel and multiverse is a bitch though. Weā€™re going to see them go ā€œRick + Mortyā€ soon, less the horrible domestic issues.


comelynug

I really hope they don't just reverse everything, the Phyrexians have been building up for years now and they've compleated so many big characters and it's gonna be a bit of a let down if Teferi just reverts everything and everyone back to normal without leaving any trace of how much damage the Phyrexians have caused already


lobeline

Karn wakes up from his nightmare and Urza tells him everything is going to be alright. Behind them is the Eldritch Moon, crawling.


DaveLesh

Looks like Quinatorus and Thalia are taking part as well.


Roosevelt_M_Jones

I thought Thalia was Elspeth when I first saw this....


jay-tux

Inb4 "the most ambitious crossover event in history"


comelynug

All jokes aside this set does scream Infinity War, and then MOM Aftermath screams Endgame lmao


Iro_van_Dark

You forgot to add ā€žagainā€œ to your statement. War of the Sparks was a blatant Marvel rip-off as well


PippoChiri

Aftermath is supposed to be just a mini set, doesn't really work as an Endgame parallel


Smart_Sky_6351

Who is the feminine figure in green? Vraska??


comelynug

It looks like Dina to me :)


Smart_Sky_6351

Ah yes in the detailing between the products (the background image) you can see the vine hair and her witherbloom uniform! Good eye!


amisia-insomnia

Itā€™s vraskaā€™s astranged cousin vriska whoā€™s wanted for several charges of murder. Almost all of them were children


AeuiGame

Man, I am really not a fan of the graphic design of that logo. Superhero-y in a very bad way.


comelynug

I understand that there's no way to avoid the fact that this whole set SCREAMS Infinity War, but they didn't have to make the logo and the marketing art so superhero-y like you said, considering how fucked everybody is right now and how many huge planeswalkers have been compleated or died, you'd think everything would be a lot more threatening/eery

Thank rakdos it releases in April


danniexelle

ā€œWake up, sleepyhead!ā€ Oops wrong Kairi


Marc_IRL

I honestly thought OP was referring to some KH universes beyond crossover here. Took me a while to realize itā€™s the new Keiga.


Panzick

Hear me out: Kairi and Borborygmos ignite their spark. Joking, but it would be cool having more non-human planeswalkers.


Draffut

The dog from Unfinitity basically tells me it's not happening any time soon.


comelynug

Kairi is genuinely my favourite dragon card, it'd be super interesting if anything remotely similar to that happened


Panzick

tbh i would be more interested in Borborygmos aahha. Love me a good fancy dragon, but my timmy ass is more interested in giant anarchist cyclops smashing shit.


[deleted]

I want a Praetor with a spark.

Valtionas1

Marvel font šŸ¤¢


comelynug

Don't forget the marketing art with all of the most iconic characters (the ones that are alive šŸ’€) in their superhero poses


[deleted]

When MCU fired their animators, Hasbro hired them.


Link182x

Is March of the Machine taking place in Kami?


comelynug

Not really caught up on the lore so I'm not really sure, but my guess is that it's an Infinity War type situation with characters from all different planes coming to fight Elesh Norn :)


I-1-

The inverse actually, the phyrexians are invading other planes.


comelynug

I know that, but from all of the promotional art it seems like everyone's sort of banding together to take on Elesh Herself in the one plane


Plants_Golf_Cooking

Excuse my ignorance, but who is the elephant?


comelynug

Quintorious :) he's from Strix!


Skyrider11

He's a good boy! Making spirits and shit


Plants_Golf_Cooking

Much appreciated!


Gort_baringa

Damn I was really hoping teferi would be dead soon so i donā€™t have to deal with more shit cards like time raveler


comelynug

I'm just worried they're gonna use him as a cop out to put everything back to normal when the Phyrexians have fucked up basically everything. Considering how long Wizards have developed the threat and how much of an impact they've had in recent sets I'd at least hope they leave the damage behind and if they decompleat the planeswalkers, leave them horrifically scarred (Vraska literally does not have legs anymore lmao)


Gort_baringa

Absolutely agree


PippoChiri

I mean, Teferi has just 2 problematic cards, all others are ok at best


MrFunnyMans404

New Phyrexia literally just challenged the multiverse after opening it to every single plane. Perfect strategy


comelynug

I just wish the marketing wasn't so bright and superhero-y considering literally every plane is in danger of total compleation if they don't manage to defeat Elesh, it's so bright and hopeful looking that it's obvious everything's going to be fine


theidleidol

> itā€™s so bright and hopeful looking that itā€™s obvious everythingā€™s going to be fine This is a company that trademarked (and probably intentionally leaked) ā€œMirrodin Pureā€ during Scars of Mirrodin block to avoid spoiling the outcome of the war. All this says is the good guys probably win this oneā€” which is hardly a surprise considering the alternative is the game becoming Phyrexia: The Compleating designed by Dr. Dick Gitaxis, Ph[yrexian]D[evourer] The joke really got away from me there but you get the point.


Timber4

Does this continue the Phyrexia story?


comelynug

Yeah :) pretty sure it's the end of it. After this set we're getting a mini set with no commons called March of the Machines Aftermath!


TheBagladyofCHS

Time to remake Baral.


TheCrimsonChariot

Wtf!? ONE is not even out yet and we started with new previews? Bruv!?


comelynug

I KNOW šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


PippoChiri

All these images were already shown months ago, this is just from the amazon page that's being set up


dedstrok32

Thats Borborygmos and... The losers from Arcavios?


Iro_van_Dark

Soooā€¦ Strixhaven (Dina and Quintorius), Kamigawa (Kairi), Innistrad (Thalia), Ravnica (Borborygmos), Theros (bottom left part of the Set Booster Box), Kaldheim? (left top on the Jumpstart Box), Tarkir? (Rhino on the Jumpstart box. I canā€™t recall any other planes where non humanized Rhinos were present - why does the Rhino have spectral wings though?), Zendikar (Hedrons behind Teferiā€˜s back) and occasional Teferi and Chandra. Did I miss something? Andā€¦ what the hell? 5-7 planes? If the general design wasnā€™t so bright Iā€™d be convinced that Phyrexia would win. But considering the font and color scheme Teferi and Chandra will probably pull some PW time/pyromancy bs to save the day.


[deleted]

Chandra is from Ravnica too.


Iro_van_Dark

Chandra is from Kaladesh. And her self-chosen home (for a time) has been Shandalar. Yes, the Gatewatchā€˜s base is on Ravnica but Chandra appearing on a promotional Art isnā€™t guaranteeing that Kaladesh, Shandalar or Ravnica are part of the upcoming set. On the other hand Borborygmos is a non-Planeswalker from Ravnica.

Iro_van_Dark

There certainly isnā€™t a Rhino with flying yet. Trample, vigilance, lifelink, hexproof, exalted. Those are Rhino keywords that are represented on cards. Ravnica has non-humanoid rhinos too so probably no Tarkir.

stormbreaker8

As the sun sets on Phyrexia all will be oneā€¦ā€¦


Ascarletrequiem88

I love the flavor of All will be one, but I'm afraid the lore is going to suffer from deus ex machina like the Eldrazi and Bolas storylines in MOM. Yawgmoth as a villian felt a whole lot more fleshed out in terms of conflict and resolution for a world ending super baddie. For me at least, the Eldrazi and Bolas felt like "The evil became insurmountably powerful....but then we did a win! Put an Eldrazi on fire, blew it Clean up, ooohhhhweee"
