The upcoming Magic: The Gathering set, Wilds of Eldraine, introduces Enchanting Tales cards, reprinted enchantments that add flavor to the set. These bonus sheet cards can affect the Limited environment and offer the opportunity for epic combos. Examples include the Hylda of the Icy Crown combo, which generates an arbitrarily large number of Elemental Creature tokens, and the Intruder Alarm combo, which can create infinite mana or creatures. Another combo involves Aggravated Assault, which allows for infinite combat steps. While these combos may be difficult to pull off, they add excitement to the prerelease experience.
The final chapter of the Wilds of Eldraine storyline reveals that Kellan, the new protagonist, is actually Oko's son, which comes as a surprise to some players. Oko, Thief of Crowns, is known for his impact on the gameplay of Magic: The Gathering, particularly in creating a toxic Standard environment. The story also hints at Kellan's future involvement in the upcoming Outlaws at Thunder Junction set, a wild-west themed expansion. Additionally, Ashiok is expected to play a more central role as a villain, while Rowan, though defeated, still seeks to save Eldraine in her own way. Overall, the community has praised the quality of the Wilds of Eldraine story and is invested in the Magic lore.
Leaked cards from the upcoming Magic: The Gathering set, Wilds of Eldraine, reveal the return of the Adventure mechanic and potentially powerful cards. The leaked cards include Beseech the Mirror, Sleep-Cursed Faerie, Tangled Colony, Charming Scoundrel, Decadent Dragon, Questing Druid, The Apprentice’s Folly, and Lord Skitter, Sewer King. The Adventure mechanic allows players to exile the card and play it from exile, effectively giving them an extra card in their deck. The leaked cards show potential for interesting gameplay and combos. Official previews for Wilds of Eldraine start on August 15th.
The upcoming Magic: The Gathering set, Wilds of Eldraine, will feature a bonus sheet with reprints of enchantment cards, including valuable ones like Doubling Season and Smothering Tithe. However, this may negatively impact the value of the Commander Masters product, which also includes these expensive reprints. Previous bonus sheets have caused the value of reprints to decrease, as seen with the Multiverse Legends series. While bonus sheets enhance the Limited gameplay experience and make reprints more affordable, the overlap between Wilds of Eldraine and Commander Masters may lead to a decrease in the market value of Commander Masters.
Magic: The Gathering's Standard format will move to a three-year rotation cycle starting this Fall with Wilds of Eldraine. The change will move Standard away from the two-year rotation cycle that has been used since the format's inception. Wizards of the Coast is rolling out multifaceted plans over the coming months to revitalize Standard, starting with moving the format to a new three-year rotation cycle. Alchemy, the MTG Arena-exclusive rotating format, will not be following tabletop and digital Standard in changing its rotation strategy.
