Igår under Wizards Weekly MtG-stream fick man sig en liten smygtitt på kommande setet Strixhaven! Setet som kretsar kring magiker-skolan Strixhaven innehåller 5 olika "Colleges" som alla representeras av ett färgpar.

Lorehold



"Loreholds are diligent researchers and daring adventurers. Passionate scholars obsessed with history, they explore the past by pouring over archaeological artifacts and summoning long-dead spirits. For some students, the past is a rich tapestry worthy of disciplined study. While others wear that tapestry like a cape as they jump down into a forgotten tomb. Their motto is "Leave no stone unturned."

Here's an example of powerful Lorehold magic!





Prismari



Prismari are the theatre kids of Strixhaven, and magic is how they express themselves. Their spells can be spectacles of raw creativity or meticulous artistic expressions. All the world's a stage, and whether their art is informed by mind or emotion, Prismari always leave a lasting impression. Their motto is "Express yourself with the elements."

Here's an example of powerful Prismari magic!





Quandrix



Quandrix mages are ingenious math magicians. They study patterns, fractals, and symmetries to command power over the fundamental forces of nature. They'll solve a Rubik's Cube while contemplating the metaphysical properties of the universe and can recite every number of Pi backwards. Their motto is "Math is magic."

Here's an example of powerful Quandrix magic!





Silverquill



Silverquills wield the magic of words, from inspiring battle poetry to biting arcane insults. Stylish, intimidating, and tirelessly competitive, these mages are born leaders with a razor-sharp wit and natural charisma that can be used for good or for ill. Their motto is "Sharp style. Sharper wit."

Here's an example of powerful Silverquill magic!





Witherbloom



Witherblooms are goth bio majors. They draw power from the essence of living beings, whether that means enhancing nature or exploiting it. Witherbloom mages are most at home riding zombie crocs, picking herbs for potions, and hanging out in their swamp making grim jokes. Their motto is "Get your hands dirty."

Here's an example of powerful Witherbloom magic!





Spännande va? Nytt i Strixhaven är också att istället för "showcase kort" som blivit bekanta med på senare tid så kommer det speciella "Mystical Archive"-kort.


Mystical Archive

"Mystical Archive"-korten påminner lite om Masterpiece Series då det handlar om reprints från äldre set som får spelas med i Limited om man öppnar dem, men som inte blir legala i något nytt format de inte redan är legala i. Den största skillnaden är att Mystical Archive-kort kommer i varje booster (t.o.m 3 st i Collector Boosters). Samtliga är Instants eller Sorceries och totalt rör det sig om 63 stycken.

Wizards visade upp tre stycken på sin stream igår:



Coola va?

Vänta då tills du får se hur de ser ut i japanska boosters(!)




Mana value och Shuffle

Som uppmärksamma kanske sett så kommer Wizards fr.o.m Strixhaven att byta ut begreppet "converted mana cost" till "mana value". Dessutom förkortas "shuffle your library" till bara "shuffle" :)
