Did anyone else catch This Wizards presentation?
I am so pumped for the roadmap layed out for upcoming Magic sets.... excited to see the Phyrexian story playout and the brothers war but I think im even more excited about the return to ELDRAINE and IXALAN!
I think this is the first time I can ever remember being hyped for the long term/run... im excited for all if it.
Anyone else have any thoughts/feelings/concerns/predictions on the subject?
P.S.
Standard and Pioneer formats are about to get access to Liliana of the Veil!!! Granted prefer the Original artwork but the new artwork is still great in my opinion.
I loved the new stuff they announced but hated the actual stream itself. It was 95% DnD and Universes Beyond stuff with the last five minutes being for normal Magic. Super lame. On the other hand, the Dominaria United stream that came on afterwards was absolutely FANTASTIC and I highly recommend checking it out if you didn't see it live!
As for the stuff they actually announced, Phyrexia and March of the Machine are going to be INSANE and I am incredibly excited for both. Really curious to see what the Aftermath thing is all about, as well. Wilds of Eldraine... I'm a bit less enthused about. The original was really problematic for a bunch of formats (as I'm sure we all know) so I'm a bit weary of this one. The art will probably be fantastic, though. Ixalan is one of my favorite planes and I didn't see a return to it coming so soon, so I'm really excited about that one, too!

I'm happy that they are taking the time to link sets together for a unified story. I really liked what they did building up to War of the Spark, but I honestly have had no idea what the story is since then. Single set planes don't help the story telling. If anything I'm a bit sad that Eldraine and Ixalan look like they're only getting one-shots after the March of the Machine Aftermath.

I'm both disappointed and overwhelmed. I want to see new planes but it doesn't look like we'll be getting a single one. And where getting a commander deck for each week of the year. This was a weak announcement day

that is a good point shadow63 in regards to visiting new plans... I can see how that can be disappointing for a lot of people actually.

C'mon Yahtzee

Super excited for the Phyrexia sets! Really hoping for some proper tribal payoffs to build a truly compleat deck! Aside from that, Ixalan seems awesome too! More dinosaurs are always welcome, and maybe pirates will get some stronger support this time!
