The subsequent MTG set launch is sort of on us, as The Brothers’ War continues a jam-packed autumn calendar of Magic releases. The Brothers’ War might not be launched till November 18th, however right this moment Wizard’s hosted a brand new video referred to as Building Worlds that showcased the world that The Brothers’ War is going down, and revealed the names of many playing cards in it.

You can watch all of it in 20 minutes proper beneath, and it goes into the historical past of the conflict, and its place in Magic‘s historical past. It exhibits how they determined to make every brother’s military look and the way they’re depicting the set’s story and artwork. It options Taylor Ingvarsson, Emily Teng, and Miguel Lopez, who all labored on the worldbuilding for The Brothers’ War , together with Magic personalities Ladee Danger and Sam from Rhystic Studies. However, in the event you do not wish to watch all of it, or solely need the names of all of the playing cards teased within the trailer, we’re right here for you with a fast run down and that all-important checklist.

The playing cards in Brothers’ War will likely be damaged up into three separate time intervals. The first will likely be comparatively early in Urza and Mishra’s life, exhibiting once they had been collectively, their early mentors, and their excavations into discovering the Mightstone and the Weakstone. This results in a dispute, that Tocsin is unable to cease and them preventing in some artwork that appears prefer it may have come out of a Harry Potter wizard duel (see header picture for what I imply).

The second act options the meat of the conflict. This is the place you will have the large robots and mechs of Mishra and Urza preventing, and them encroaching on Argoth as nicely. While the titular brother’s factions are apparently set to UW (Urza) and RB (Mishra), Argoth appears to be the first inexperienced faction within the set. Here, the forest has raised its would possibly towards the mechanized monstrosities they’re utilizing and is preventing again towards them each. Elves, Treefolk, and the very soul of the forest itself resist makes an attempt to stripmine and harvest all of the assets, not understanding the tragic destiny that awaits them (spoilers, for a 25-year-old plot level I assume.)

The remaining act depicted within the artwork of the set is that of the top of the conflict, when the apocalypse is about to, or has come. Here, even earlier than Urza unleashes the Sylax, the world is devastated from 60 years of conflict, with a lot of it destroyed and left in break earlier than the ultimate confrontation and the Ice Age that may comply with Urza’s determined act of mass destruction.

One means the set takes benefit of this construction is to indicate characters at totally different factors of their lives. Beyond the 2 already revealed Mishra and Urza playing cards, two extra for every had been proven right this moment. Urza, Powerstone Prodigy, and Mishra, Excavation Prodigy present them as boys, in the course of the first act of the story. Meanwhile, on the peak of conflict, they’re depicted in Urza, Prince of Kroog, and Mishra, Tamer of Mak Fawa. It is feasible, that given the set already has double-faced playing cards in it for the meld playing cards that these playing cards might share one another indirectly, such because the youthful prodigies reworking into their older selves.

While we will not verify it, the itemizing of two separate Titania playing cards, and point out of Titania’s ‘remaining type’ in the course of the video appear to point that she would be the third meld card. If so, Titania, Voice of Gaea, is prone to be her base creature type, whereas Titania’s Avenger can be the meld card. Given that identify, it appears seemingly she can be melding with Argoth, Sanctum of Nature because the voice of the world soul melds with the native forest to combat off the large mechanized items that the brothers deploy.

Exciting The Brothers’ War Reprints

While we do not know if these playing cards are in the principle set, commander, or a jumpstart, we did see them talked about within the video and offered artwork.

Before we get to a listing, let’s undergo a pair areas that I’ve some ideas, after which I’ll put up the remainder.

• Mishra’s Command
• Titania’s Command

These are attention-grabbing because the Commands have normally been good in a number of codecs. The two of them would suggest both a full cycle, or maybe merely a 3 card one to line up with the three meld creatures.

Likely to be a riff or counterpart to Mishra’s Workshop, however one imagines designed to be much more balanced than his brother’s damaged card. Urza already had his probability to interrupt Magic, and spent a complete block doing so.

• Teferi, Temporal Pilgrim
• Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist
• Tawnos, The Toymaker
• Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor

This would appear to verify we will likely be getting a brand new Teferi card, exhibiting him observing the occasions from afar. While Tawnos had beforehand gotten a card, this appears to be prone to depict him at a youthful stage of life. This would be the first time that Ashnod will get a card, nevertheless, and he or she has been well-known for playing cards like Ashnod’s Altar prior to now. It additionally marks Gix’s first card, and he is additionally been identified by artifacts prior to now.
