Well Brago's gone, and we got a new set name.
Hehe.. Thats pretty funny.
For you who missed it, they announced "Conspiracy: Reign of Brago" a couple of days ago with 221 cards. Now its "The Empty Throne" with 220 cards :).

This is awesome. Really brings the story to life.

I love this! Haha, I wonder who got in trouble at WotC. This will be an even MORE awesome set.

Right then. So not Brago. Apparently he won't even exist. Ok.

I saw some reddit posts saying that someone might take the throne (and change the set name again) because they haven't published a set symbol yet.

I was just discussing with somebody at my LGS last night too what the new Brago might be like.
As long as I can still build a deck around controlling votes I'm happy! :D

Hahahahahahahahaha this is amazing! Well done wizards.

Anybody else notice the release date? This is in the slot typically allocated to the From The Vaults. I wonder if they are discontinuing FTV products or just rearranging the schedule.
February 24, 2016 3:32 p.m.
They cancelled other product lines recently... due to poor sales.
After "FTV: Annihilation" and "FTV: Angels", I can see them discontinuing it as well.
(I didn't even get the FTV: Angels... and my LGS can't sell of it's last 2)

I wouldn't miss the FTV that much, the foiling process is puke.
but man, I am finding this Conspiracy announcement hilarious
February 24, 2016 4:19 p.m.
This is hilarious. Brienne of Tarth took Bravo right from the set lol.
February 24, 2016 4:57 p.m.
This is hilarious. Well done.
Nobody hate on FtV!! We get important reprints. I realize I really only play Commander but there is stuff people want to see in EMA that I just don't care about because I own them. I got my copies in FtV.
Does anyone realize that Avacyn, Angel of Hope foil was $100 before her reprint in FtV? That one card alone in FtV: Angels saved you $60 and you got 14 other cards for free with it.
What about Jace, the Mind Sculptor? I have the FtV version. An amazing card, well worth purchasing the set.
Simple fact is, people hate on FtV because there are iffy cards in every set. Regardless of that, there is solid value in almost every single one. The only one that could really be considered a let down is Annihilation but even that included great cards like Armageddon and Cataclysm. People were really only mad that Annihilation didn't include Damnation.
And for the hate on the foil process they use for FtV? Really? The quality is like 1000x better than standard foil cards. The FtV cards are A LOT harder to warp.

But Selvala Got to him first, and almost killed him, hence the OG name of the set.

They better include Sigil of the Empty Throne if they keep the current name.
... speaking of which: inb4 "Conspiracy: Reign of Marchesa".

So, why was this set announced three times? Was that part of the theme, with characters plotting and scheming against each other?
I definitely am very excited for this set, and am hoping for some excellent reprints, as well as awesome new cards. This set, combined with Eternal Masters, promises to make this summer a most amazing one, indeed.
