Imagine that Jace Signature Spellbook containing Jace, the Mind Sculptor and turning him from the Wallet Sculpter to the Peoples Sculpture. Crash the market. Eliminate the bourgeoisie.
Interestingly, the Chinese planeswalker decks are called "Global Series: Jiang Yanggu and Mu Yanling". I'm assuming based on the name "Global Series" if this sells well we'll later see this for other countries or regions?
Did they mention e-sports on the 2HG set's flavor aspect? I recall a DotA-inspired card game and assume that's what they are refering to. Maybe a real league of legendaires for the Commander crossover compatibility?
I recall custom sets with a 2HG theme and am happy to see the space explored. When I read about Battlebond in the other thread I already had flashbacks to Duet Decks - happy to have been close.
EDIT: Also intersting that Global Series Jiang Yanggu & Mu Yanling is only GS1. I wonder whether they have plans to travel the world with this.
Is the theme planeswalker/super friends commanders for this one?
Call on powerful planeswalkers and deploy their signature strategies to make sure you're the last player standing.
Good, and exciting catch! I imagine we're going to get The Gatewatch and this is the only place where I will be disappointed for that to be the case. I am hoping and praying instead for...
W/x Serra - Angels and Humans tribal and/or Enchantress
UBRx Urza - Artifacts matter (with a red/blue artificer commander in the 99)
From there I couldn't care less who else we get.

don't worry if im right theres no way they would do the gatewatch they would probably do the more popular walkers from older sets that never got a card
im going to get furious if they once again don't make a urza card i mean the no green deck in the 4-color was a golden opportunity and they blew it.
by the way i assume white would be added as well to your urza thing.

Yeah, I sure wish they use would use the commander decks to give cards to characters who haven't gotten cards yet, when are we gonna get our Taigam card, Ludevic card or Feldon card?

If the Commander decks this year are Planeswalkers ago for the commanders I would like to see Jeska, Serra, that red bearded one working for Bolas, and that black planeswalker that Dack Fayden was going after.
After that the rest of the products are not too out of left field, but 2HG focus is a tad surprising. I wonder if this means they'll put 2HG back into MTGO, unless they already did and I didn't know about it. Renaming FTV's seems odd, especially since they probably just could have called it FTV: Jace Beleren.
Imagine that Jace Signature Spellbook containing Jace, the Mind Sculptor and turning him from the Wallet Sculpter to the Peoples Sculpture. Crash the market. Eliminate the bourgeoisie.
I think the more likely scenario is that since he's basically 8x the MSRP of the spellbook every single one gets bought out by scalpers or horded and no one sees them actually make it to the shelves. I'm probably pre-ordering one the second it shows up since at worse I'm getting a jace themed counterspell reprint from the jace vs chandra duel deck in foil, Fact or Fiction Jace duel deck reprint in foil, and possibly a Jace Beleren. I highly doubt they are going to put the most powerful version of jace in the FTV unless they literally hold the spoilers to a week before release.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
Magic Portal This is a decent idea. It helps facilitate playgroups and establishes a reference for various things. The use is certainly there. I'm wondering if they'll incorporate player rewards of some sort into this (probably too much work) or give an LGS finder. Battlebond Curious to see how 2HG will be incorporated. I'm happy to see them starting to realize that people want to play cards after draft and that hey intend that to be sensible. I'm not a huge 2HG fan, but I am interested in reprints/new EDH goodies. Interesting that the set has the same name as Ash's Greninja's ability in the video games. Signature Spellbook: Jace At 8 cards and a foil for twenty bucks (assuming it will be findable at that price), there better be some nice value. I'm not holding my breath, but will keep optimism. Commander Anthology 2 I'm not spending 165 on a sealed product. With that said, this could inject some old friends into the market. Commander 2018 Walkers again is interesting. I hope these are on the Deretti side more than the Ob-Nix side (though Ob-Nix is a member of the 99 in one of my decks right now), as I like synergistic effects more than good stuff. #keepEDHfrombeingstandard Anyway, I like these a lot. I'll probably pick one up unless they are all garbage (this has never happened for the record, I think these just might be WotC's best product). Chinese Walker Decks I'll wait and see before saying anything. Bolas Picture Did he get something in his eye? Is he confused by something? I hope he's okay!
Happy to see dominaria showing some actual brush strokes for the artbook. New logo still isn't selling me.
Decent announcement overall. Commander decks are routinely solid at the very least.

The issue with doing PW cards for Urza, Serra, Leshrac, and the other absurdly powerful beings of Magic lore is that unless the card is a ten-mana "you win the game" card, it wouldn't be doing justice to the pure absurd power level of the oldwalkers. Oldwalkers were gods. Not Theros "kinda sorta" gods. They were completely unbeatable unless you were one or something similar (Yawgmoth).

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.

Probably, WOTC still is in love with the idea of creating a cinematic universe like Marvel with Planeswalkers as the heroes.
If this is the case
Please wizard will please at long last make a urza a card (unstaple doesn't count it's silver bordered.)
What did GenCon do that pissed WotC off SO much?

And a look at the art book for Dominaria: https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/7xloim/dominaria_artbook_cover/
How much sense does it make that the Chinese special decks would be only available in English?
this one sounds intreging
and im thrilled they remember that they need to make the new cards so they are usable in commander, vintage and legacy.
and cool that its sports themed
i wonder what the 169 reprints are going to be
reprinting show and tell again would be nice

Someone really dropped the ball on Bolas here. He looks like a goblin with horns, not a godlike dragon planeswalker...
