Magic: The Gathering players have discovered a potentially broken interaction involving the new Planeswalker Jace Reawakened from the upcoming set Outlaws of Thunder Junction. When combined with the double-sided card Valki, God of Lies, Jace's Plot ability allows for the potential early casting of Tibalt, Cosmic Imposter. While Jace's static ability limits the earliest possible cheat to turn five, players are exploring ways to circumvent this restriction, raising concerns about the impact on competitive play.
The release of Murders at Karlov Manor has caused a game-breaking change in the Modern format, with Leyline of the Guildpact and Scion of Draco seeing massive price increases of 450% and becoming dominant in Regional Championship performances. The combo of Leyline of the Guildpact and Scion of Draco has revolutionized the Modern format, leading to significant price spikes for both cards. However, the long-term stability of these price increases remains uncertain as players adapt to the new strategy, and the potential rise of Living End could impact the dominance of this combo.
TechRaptor has revealed two new spoiler cards from the upcoming Magic: The Gathering set, Murders at Karlov Manor. The first card, Leyline of the Guildpact, focuses on casual play and has synergy with certain cards in Commander format, while the second card, Lamplight Phoenix, is likely to see competitive play and introduces the new mechanic Collect Evidence. The set is shaping up to be intriguing, and more card reveals are anticipated.
