Oooh interesting, I missed that. A few weeks back they updated the list of resale restricted promos after months untouched, so here's hoping they'll be updating soon now that migration should be taking up less bandwidth.

The economics of books aren't quite the same as the economics of card sets. They cost less, but involve more dedicated work by one person, which means that in most cases, they take longer. A book represents a major leap of faith for a franchise like Magic.

Let's earn it.

Magic: The Gathering @magic.wizards.com · 14d

In addition to the #MTGStrixhaven web fiction there will be a full novel set in the school of Strixhaven penned by Seanan McGuire!

Omens of Chaos is a YA novel set at Strixhaven about the first-ever class of interplanar students who have journeyed to the school via Omenpath.

This image depicts the cover of the "Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos" Young Adult novel.
The cover art shows a person casting a magic sphere around themselves. Behind them, roof tops of different buildings can be seen. Across the bottom of the cover reads: "Seanan McGuire. New York Times Best Selling Author".

Generally I consider it pretty bad form to buy into the consumerist hyper cycle around Magic release but also YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKO

Magic: The Gathering @magic.wizards.com · 14d

If you were there for the original Lorwyn and Shadowmoor sets, Lorwyn Eclipsed will definitely have cards that 'evoke' some memories.

Hybrid mana from Shadowmoor, Evoke from Lorwyn, this Incarnation has it all! #MTGLorwyn

This image depicts a card.
"Emptiness". Four Colorless, Two White or Black. Creature -- Elemental Incarnation. Mythic Rarity.

Art: This card art depicts a huge skeletal creature with curved ram like horns and a giant mane framing a single void with a point of glowing energy for a face. The creature walks through a desolate swamp, trees dying at its banks. The clouds in the sky frame this being in its wake. Art by Ryan Pancoast.

Rules Text: When this creature enters, if two White Mana was spent to cast it, return target creature card with mana value three or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. When this creature enters, if two Black Mana was spent to cast it, put three -1/-1 counters on up to one target creature. Envoke two White or Black mana. Power Three/Toughness Five.

BW NATION WHERE WE AT?? GOT A BANGER FREAK LINED UP

Magic: The Gathering @magic.wizards.com · 14d

Creatures and characters in Lorwyn Eclipsed can change whether they are from Lorwyn or Shadowmoor. If only we had a mechanic that could do that!

The twin Elementals, Eirdu and Isilu! #MTGLorwyn

This image depicts two cards, front and back of a singular card.

On the right, front facing, "Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn". 3 Colorless, Two White. Legendary Creature - Elemental God. Mythic Rarity.

Art: This card art depicts a huge elemental floating over a flowering field at dawn. Its six limbs and serpentine tail and head flowing behind the energy at its face, luminous and bright as the Sun.

Rules text: Flying, Lifelink. Creature spells you cast have convoke. (Your creatures can help cast those spells. Each creature you tap while casting a creature spell pays for 1 or one mana of that creature's color.) At the beginning of your first main phase, you may pay a Black Mana. If you do, transform Eirdu. Power 5/Toughness 5.

On the left, back faceing, "Isilu, Carrier of Twilight". Legendary Creature - Elemental God.

Art: This card art depicts a giant elemental perched along some large rune stones, its long winding neck leading up to a luminous energy in the shape of a crescent moon where its head would be. In the sky, roiling clouds darken the land into twilight, leaving the energy of the moon to light the scene.

Rules text: Flying, Lifelink. Each other nontoken creature you control has persist. (When it dies, if you had no -1/-1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a -1/-1 counter on it.) At the beginning of your first main phase, you may pay one White Mana. If you do, transform Isilu. Power 5, Toughness 5.

Art for both sides of the card by Lucas Graciano.

My latest book is officially available on Kobo (and kobo plus). My goal is 30 kobo sales by the end of the weekend. I know it’s a tall order, but it would mean the world to me 💙📚

thinking about this screenshot from Columbo that makes it look like a 90s point-and-click adventure game

screenshot from the TV show Columbo. the titular character Columbo is shown standing at the edge of a driveway, looking down at golden retriever who is happily basking on the pavement in front of him. the subtitles read: "You're a real friendly boy, aren't you? Oh, you're a girl."

Overall really love. Wish there was some more flavorful resonance for Haliya and Alpharael as they are later in the story.

Yosei. Love a non-red dragon tapping into the idea space of dragons that aren't normally covered in the red slice of the pie. Also helps being a CHK freak with a love of weird rules text. Plus he's fluffy!
