Yeah, they're putting etched foils in regular boosters.

How many rares are there per pack_

At least one, maximum four.

Quote from Gavin Verhey »

I've been getting some questions about how the legend slots in Commander Legends work. To clarify: the 2 guaranteed legends do *not* replace your rare! Yes, you can open a normal rare plus 2 rare legends.
(And that's even before factoring in the foil in each pack!)

They also wanted me to take down the posts, and while that can't stop the images from circulating, I still went through with that as a gesture of goodwill.

I wonder how much of that is "goodwill" (none) and how much is Wizards legal breathing down his neck (all of it).

Sure it's not "official" spoiler season, but we're still getting lots of new cards, on the same schedule as before, with the same volume as with most draft-based supplemental sets. This might as well be spoiler season already.

That Mardu commander is great, but I wish it were Abzan or Esper

That Temur Cascade commander is totally awesome and may *finally* inspire a Temur deck
(either under this dude or Maelstrom Wanderer).

What’s less great?
All of these comments coming under a mess of a single post thanks to these leaks.
Not a fan!

We'll still make threads for the new cards, if people want to continue. Stuff like the new Kodama would have lots more discussion, they're just being erased from people's minds by the new stuff. Note the complete lack of complaints about how non-white cards suck in this thread. Magic players love to complain about Magic cards, and some really bad cards are thrown into the leaks here. Plus, outside of Reddit and three ongoing threads right now, people seem to really be avoiding these leaks.

What I do find weird is how we just got around a hundred cards in three days, and yet no one's calling for product fatigue yet.

Rebbec, Glacian and Malcom are the only ones with good partner flavor.

I could see an argument for the planeswalkers. Jeska as a planeswalker never seemed to travel alone, and Tevest Szat loves his chronic backstabber syndrome all too much.

With the insane amount of leaks, I wonder what the heck happened at Wizards for them to postpone previews.

Quote from sleeper agent 2.0 »

Is it a bad sign for the set if a ton of cards get spoiled and the rumor mill is just buzzing about how to pronounce a hard/soft G name?

Or a bad sign for this forum?

It's a lack of talking points. The leaks are in German, and outside of the two planeswalkers the photos we have are just really blurry. It's more a guessing game at this point. That being said, the anger from the Secret Lair might mean the sets for the next six months are all dead in the water, so there's not a lot of discussion left.

Will the etched foil cards also be cards in the set itself?

oh hooray... ANOTHER variant to pull... as if we were hurting for those.

time to start including inserts for gambling addiction

All the etched foil cards are reprints not counted in the set collector number count. For example, the only one we're 100% sure of is Prossh, Skyraider of Kher.

I feel like Wizards knew this was coming, and moved Commander Legends anyway due to some non-conspiracy theory reason.

So Tevesh and Jeska are BAB, then?

Not necessarily. Planeswalkers have been getting these borderless treatments as their alt-art treatment, so unless we don't see the Commander Legends frame on Tevest Szat and Jeska, it's safe to assume this is all they're getting.
