I like how we're getting people saying there's no story whatsoever in the set when we haven't seen the actual story yet. This isn't Tempest where you can literally make a story book out of the cards
And yet MOM has twenty cards marked as "Story Spotlight" specifically so you can "make a story book out of the cards". And Aftermath is communicated to "continue the story in between sets" with its "lore-packed Epilogue Booster".
Story Spolight cards are just the major story beats. Temptest had three cards dedicated to Sisay helping Gerard get back up from a fall.
I like how we're getting people saying there's no story whatsoever in the set when we haven't seen the actual story yet. This isn't Tempest where you can literally make a story book out of the cards, because no one noticed, cared, or bothered to piece it together until it was pointed out.
Also oldschholmtg is about to receive the full force of WotC legal and it will be hilarious to watch.
I wonder if the lower numbered serialized cards have mire monetary value than the higher ones... This may seam like an apples and oranges comparison, but (in the past) albums that were serialized also had the lower numbered ones cost more in sales than the higher ones. Especially when the serialized variants went into the thousands. The serialized album I am referring to is the Beatles White Album. In the examples given, the two low numbered serialized copies were sold for way, way more than the high serialized number. Collector's do prefer the ones printed closest to first. This is also why a dollar bill with a serial number of 10 will be worth a hell of a lot more to collector of currencies than one that has a serial number in the thousands.
It's not necessarily the lower numbers, but some are more expensive than others. From the retro artifact sheet in Brothers' War, the key numbers are 1, 69, 420 (real mature I know), any number ending with two zeroes, and sometimes whatever the card's collector number is (for example, serial number 126 for Wurmcoil Engine.
Another set, another token dump, this time for March of the Machine. These 20 tokens and 3 emblems will all appear in the Draft and Set Boosters as single-face tokens, except for the Incubators. Collector Boosters will have the non-Incubators as double-faced tokens, matched at random.
First off, our 18 single-faced tokens from the main set.
Here are the three Incubators. Note that each pair of tokens presented here moving forward represents 1 double-faced token.
And here are two emblems from the main set.
This emblem is for Teferi's Talent from the Commander Set Booster exclusives.
And these tokens are created by twocards from the Multiverse Legends bonus sheet.
WotC's blatant disdain for Lorwyn makes me sad. Am I correct in that it's the only visited plane that didn't get a special frame legendary?
Shandalar, for all the history behind it, had no legends either. Kylem had none either. Xerex and Pyrulea are fine, they're Planechase planes each represented by their Invasion and some draft card.
I'm still so shell-shocked (yaaaas puns) that I have yet to even properly respond to this actually. I freakling ADORE this constellation Arixmethes. He deserves to be represented in Nyx!
Odd that Rona's front side is neither a Phyrexian nor a Zombie despite the fact that her upgrades were quite extensive and she actually died on Dominaria and only her metallic bits were brought to New Phyrexia by Tezzeret. (Because the planar bridge destroys all organic material.)
[Tezzeret] was once again on the accursed plane of New Phyrexia, the charred endoskeleton of Rona in his arms.
Mmh, maybe her reconstruction underwent the same treatment as Stenn and other sleeper agents? But then... Why?
I think the front face was her in the Brothers' War story.
A GU legend that draws cards? How original. They may as well just keep reprinting the same one at this point. Like, is there noooo other design space in the history of magic that UG can explore?
Practically every legend above uncommon draws cards now. Why is the land animation one the problem?
With that artifact name count theme, you'll need a lot of tokens. Note that each pair of tokens presented here moving forward represents 1 double-faced token.

First off, our last mythics.
Then, the rares.
Finally, the ones you're most likely to see: the uncommons.
The last uncommon of the set makes sure your Phyrexian army can't stop random flying creatures.
These last two DFCs are the last members of the common transforms-into-Phyrexians cycle/
First off, the last reprints of the set.
And the last of the story spotlight cards.
Scry is down to two cards this set, as the focus is on deciduous mechanic surveil.
Cycling is also in this set, including the rest of the common land type cycling... cycle.
Please welcome kicker to the list of ever-rotating deciduous mechanics.
Here's more backup.
More battle-adjacent cards, whether as support or hate.
Bring it together for the last convoke commons.
More incubate to sit on.
And now, the rest of the commons.

Finally, along with Isle of Vesuva, we get one last nostalgia trip with reprints.
