Magic Foundations Teasers REVEALED! | Magic: the Gathering

[@MetalHev]

"A card that's in the top 10 cards I sign gets reprinted" Jesus christ they're reprinting Colossal Dreadmaw

[@AaronJuddMusic]

Fear it’s coming…

[@sped13]

It’s doubling season

[@smob0]

"Stab" feels like something you would name half a split card. He might be being sneaky, since it's technically two different cards I think.

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

I think five iconic creatures might refer to the 5 iconic creature types. Dragon, Angel, Sphinx, Hydra and Demon. Edit:guys. Goblins, elves, merfolks/wizards, humans and zombies are not iconic types. They're representative types. Iconic types specifically refer to types found in high rarity high cost bombs. These other creatures that are found in all rarities and are lower cost on average are the representative types.

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

In terms of the character from online story. Hopefully it's Alesha, but if it's not then that's fine too

[@Triforceog]

My guess for blue is kraken or merfolk

[@tomdoetsch8603]

Elf, goblin, and zombie feels more iconic than your last three

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

@@Triforceog kraken is a pretty common iconic type but merfolk is not an iconic type. Merfolks are a representative type. Iconic types are reserved for high cost high rarity bomb cards. The five common representative types are: Goblins Merfolks Humans Elves Zombies

[@TheMinskyTerrorist]

​@@tomdoetsch8603That’s the other five

[@MarioJPC]

Iconic means the special creatures that incarnate their colors. White - Angels. Blue - Sphinxes. Black - Demons. Red - Dragons. Green - Hydras. So there will be different card for Angels, Spjhinx and so on.

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

@@MarioJPC I agree with your theory. Hopefully you won't be spammed with "what about goblins" or "what about merfolk" like I was

[@MarioJPC]

@@Liliana_the_ghost_cat I forget the difference between iconic and typical sometimes myself, I am sorry by the mansplaining than guys gave you.

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

@@MarioJPC thanks. And yeah I suppose it was an easy mistake to make

[@cloviepounders6703]

I've never connected blue to sphinx... Wizard or merfolk send more of an iconic type for blue.

[@MarioJPC]

@@cloviepounders6703 The thing is than all the Iconic are not creatures of human-size in general, or that they are somewhat more supernatural. The merfolk is alongside goblins on the characteristics ones.

[@STS-qi1qy]

'Show up on' definitely feels like an out to mean art and/or flavor. For those wondering the Iconics are Angels, Sphinxes, Demons, Dragons, and Hydras.

[@Rockjay288]

Sphinxes??? I've never seen a sphinx card 😮

[@joeypszczola1391]

I feel like slivers and eldrazi are 2 of the iconics

[@STS-qi1qy]

@@joeypszczola1391 They've definitely become iconic. But that list is the one Mark Rosewater included in the R&D Glossary under 'Iconic'

[@izzyandthewolfcosplay3904]

Elves

[@Infernoblade1010]

Dragons, Angels, Elves, Zombies, Merfolk

[@jxhook]

"Creatures you control get +10 / +10". Hahahaha! A card for me!

[@electrospud9230]

Me too! its like giving all your creatures colossus hammers which is insane 🤣🤣

[@TheAlexShepherd]

The 7 keyword creature is Akroma, Angel of Wrath indeed 1. Flying 2. First Strike 3. Vigilance 4. Trample 5. Haste 6. Protection from black 7. Protection from red

[@gallinaesmoking]

Zetalpa also has 7 if I'm not mistaken or it could be someone new

[@TheAlexShepherd]

@@gallinaesmoking Zetalpa has 5 (Flying, Double Strike, Vigilance, Trample and Indestructible). It could be an entirely new creature, though, it's just guessing until the first official spoilers

[@elishawley9096]

Hyena's aren't dogs. They are their own thing, closer related to cats than dogs I guess. They also have a female based social structure, where the oldest matron is at the top and her daughters are bellow her. Then all males are at the bottom of the pecking order. It's almost akin to Drow society in D&D.

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

@@elishawley9096 yeah. Hyenadae are their own thing. It's actually kinda fascinating. And it's funny that I learned that on a Beastars video essay of all places. Beastars doesn't even have any important hyenas, the creator of the essay just really liked hyenas and devoted a small little segment to nerd out about them

[@arturoalvarezponce9375]

The exile all nightmare token card sounds suspiciously like another Chainer card and I’m here for it

[@XenithShadow]

5:05, 9:20 Sounds like thats a snap caster mage.

[@ShadowWalker-ng1it]

doesn't iconic creatures mean the iconic creature type eg elves, goblins? or is it the big creature type eg angels, dragon

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

@@ShadowWalker-ng1it iconic specifically means the big ones. The small ones are called representative types, not iconic types.

[@beachefadam]

Angel,sphinx,demon,dragon,hydra

[@dakotamcintire7419]

1. the +10/+10 might be a reprint of, or a new variant of, Vivien. 2. "A deck can have any number of cards named" could be a reprint? 3. the players invitational winner card might be meddling mage. specifically to shut down decks using the "any number of" card. but I could be wrong. pretty sure its not a reprint of Faerie Mastermind though. 4. the 5 iconic creature types bit will either be "Dragon, Demon, Angel, Kraken, Hydra", "Goblin, Merfolk, Elf, Vampire (or Zombie), Human", or will be more about the unique to MTG ones like Eldrazi, Phyrexian, Sliver, Myr, etc. Not sure which, don't quote me on it. Lastly, not really related but just something I'm curious about. What are some old, maybe one-off, mechanics you'd love to see brought back with a legendary that "cares" about them? Personally I'd love to see Trap instants brought back. maybe a commander in Temur or Sultai who draws a card whenever you cast a trap and has some other effects that go off on the first, second, and third spells you cast during another players turn. Could be a lot of fun. Not really spell slinger so much as control and value.

[@GhostlyGhost333]

Curious to see what the bear demon and spider spirit looks like. And I can’t forget about the shark pirate. And that zombie warlock could be fun for my zombie commander deck, depending on what it do.

[@GiganticPawUnit]

A lot of predictions in here had me like "Ehhh, I dunno," but when you got up to Stab, I was saying "a black instant that gives -3/-3" in my head almost simultaneously with you saying it in the video.

[@tropicalkitsune5131]

13:40 it says "this creature" so it is referring to itself, so it is a creature.

[@KRHanson1997]

It could absolutely be an aura though IE " enchanted creature has " whenever you draw your second car to each turn, create a token that's a copy of this creature""

[@tropicalkitsune5131]

@KRHanson1997 it could, but I can't think of a reason to do it that way, and that would take up more space.

[@PeterJacques1]

Demonic consultation + Thassa's Oracle = two monocolored cards that win you the game.

[@ximanon]

I just can not see WOTC putting a combo that strong in standard for 5yrs.

[@NeverDauntedRadioNetwork]

Gideon Returns

[@Battleguild]

I think the 5 face Planeswalkers of Foundations should've been the Lorwyn 5 or entirely new blood. Going half-measure by keeping 3/5 of the Lorwyn 5 is a disservice to the characters and they're just there as money chasers. An example of new blood could've been: Teyo (White) Kaito (Blue) Davriel (Black) Koth? (Red)* Vivien (Green) (WotC really doesn't like printing Red Planeswalkers outside of Chandra.) But if they went with the full Lorwyn 5, we could've gotten more rep for Garruk, who was unjustly shelved.

[@Faetan]

"For each cat you control." So zero spell reduction.

[@actiondk2279]

3 other Hyenas in MTG - Gibbering Hyena (green), Hyena Pack (red), Laughing Hyena (green); and a white enchantment aura - Hyena Umbra

[@jeffreycooldude2048]

Dude - 5 iconic creatures just means elf, zombie, goblin, merfolk, and angels. Those are the iconic creatures. Not a specific legendary.

[@SergeiMosin]

They just revealed the planeswalkers will have 2 different art treatments on their cards, so that might be what they mean with multiple cards...

[@youraverageddnerd1843]

Maybe this is too obvious, but "target instant or sorcery gains flashback until end of turn" is the text on snapcaster mage, a magic invitational card. However, im not sure if they would consider that the most powerful one

[@youraverageddnerd1843]

I think the most powerful is either Snapcaster, Dark confidant or Meddling mage. Not sure which one though

[@theartistrio]

I'm just here for the new dragon of the deck

[@Regina-ys4ct]

Incubation is interesting, as it was made for New Phyrexia. I wonder if they’re expanding Incubation to be beyond Phyrexians or if maybe they’re bringing in some new Phyrexian cards, maybe some “what if X what compleated”

[@grahamknode5291]

Do real research if you plan to vote.

[@lukenzur1667]

5 Iconic Creatures?! My first thought was the Planeswalkers into creatures as they have already for a few of them - but the iconic ones as shown on the box seems like Lily, Chandra, and so forth... which I feel that would be a great way to display Planeswalkers because their powers are so too great to be placed in 1 card Just imagine, a Leg Lily Necro/warlock Human; 3/4 with deathtouch and some raise dead or turn into zombie abilities

[@MetalPheonix]

I assume Iconic means Angels, Sphinx, Demon, Dragon, and.... Wurm? Hydra? Elemental? Unless he means Soldiers, Wizards, Zombies, Goblins, and Elves?

[@ItsDangerousGoAlone]

Wizards have said common tribes are Goblin, elves, vampires, human, and merfolk. Iconic big creatures are Dragons, Sphinx, Demon, Angel, and Hydra.

[@GhostlyGhost333]

I’m hoping the shark pirate isn’t a pun card like Loan Shark was in thunder junction. Hoping for something interesting, but I have my doubts.

[@maximillionchaoswolf]

I hope its interesting and a pun, 2 puns maybe.

Fun fact - hyenas are taxonomically closer to cats than to dogs. (And, yes, there have been at least a half dozen hyenas in magic so far)

[@willjackson5885]

Yep they are feliforms, while bears, raccoons, and foxes are caniforms.

[@danhan121]

Snapcaster mage is an invitational card which also give an instant or sorcery flashback…check off two of those hints 😂

[@chaoticsindri]

If you played standard back in the days of proper core sets, some of these rules texts feel extremely familiar... Im just gonna say it. Platinum Angel and Relentless Rats at minimum getting reprints, because this is just a core set again

[@tefin420]

We have atleast one any number of card in every color now but no colorless so i think that would be fun

[@xyoung8687]

The Truth of Names was pretty popular. Alesha maybe getting a new card ahead of our return to Tarkir?

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

@@xyoung8687 hopefully

[@cacturne6183]

Listen here Mitch ( whoops got ya name wrong ), hyenas do deserve their own creature type bc they are not dogs or cats. In fact they have their own family Hyaenidae, they are a unique species and I personally hope that they get a commander. Jokes aside easy to mistake em for a dog, love watching ya stuff. Have a nice whatever time of day you read this if ever lol

[@arthurfleck4320]

5:40 Probably not Sadbot, he was in M21 and thus is already Pioneer legal. My guesses would be either Meddling Mage or Ranger of Eos becauae they're cards that are simple, good, but not broken. OR Voidmage Prodigy as a tribute to the now terminally ill Kai Budde.

[@XmonoXchromeX]

My first thought was thassas oracle and demonic consultation

[@TZKGuy]

Another fun video from the budget Jerry Seinfeld!

[@Duskraven377]

Can't tell if they consider Bob or Snapcaster the most powerful invitational card,

[@crazydeadperson]

Mono colored cards that win you the game Splinter twin in standard lol

[@rezthemediaruler3768]

I hope the Hyena Rogue is a legendary Creature wit red and green and maybe another Color. I need more Gnolls!

[@sethdaley2821]

Hyenas are NOT dogs at all. They are part of hyeanidae, which are their own separate thing, (their closest relatives are mongoose). Should be noted they are technically feliform carnivores making them closer to cats then dogs.

[@PeterJacques1]

WUBRG creature types: Angel, Sphinx, Demon, Dragon, and Hydra.

[@Set666Abominae]

17:30 speaking as an Eldrazi, we do *not* need more!

[@petrri323]

I can’t be the only one wishing these spoilers would come out in like three months from now. I feel like duskmourn just dropped. And I haven’t really gotten a chance to play with it. Now we’re already on the next set? It’s just too much to keep up with at this point. Also Ward is a bad mechanic, fight me in a parking lot about it. Having to pay just to interact with something is just about as feels bad as having your first spell countered. Erayo is banned for a reason. Ward turns decent spot removal into an 8 mana spell that takes your entire turn and basically time walks you. Ward for life is one thing, but discarding and paying mana for ward costs is horrible. Ward is the only version of stax they print anymore. And they staple it to every damn legend. I’ve been at tables where every commander has ward, and none of them could be removed because of the sheer tempo loss it would have taken to deal with the commanders. So the four of us just played solitaire. Ward as a mechanic fundamentally dissuades interaction between players. That’s the opposite of what I play magic for. If I just wanted my deck to “do its thing” and nothing else, I would play Pokémon. You’re not allowed to play cards when it’s not your turn in Pokémon. Literally zero real time interaction. If every card has ward. Protection spells become obsolete because it’s now redundant. You would be wasting slots. Stapling stax abilities to every other legend is a bad idea.

[@sloth9669]

Two mono color win the game. KIKI-JIKI, MIRROR BREAKER + ZEALOUS CONSCRIPTS

[@martialartsfan]

Green - Elves Red - Goblins Blue - Merfolk White - Humans Black - Zombies

[@ItsDangerousGoAlone]

I think black is vampire, wizards has announced the most common tribes by color

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

@@ItsDangerousGoAlone they have and I'm pretty sure it was zombie, not vampire. Vampires are a bit setting specific, where as zombies are just a tad more spread out

[@fatboy158]

Those are representative types, not iconic types. The iconic types are: White: Angels Blue: Sphinxes Black: Demons Red: Dragons Green: Hydras

[@martialartsfan]

@fatboy158 While true to what is available as onine information. What people cracked out of packs and Pre-cons is what people will see often. These that I've listed are what you'll usually see alot of, and as far as green goes I can at least speak on the Elves being quite Iconic throughout MTG history.

[@fatboy158]

@@martialartsfan Elves are the representative green creature type. That means that there are tons of green elves at common and uncommon rarity. Hydras are the Iconic green creature type. That means that there are a lot of really powerful hydras at rare and mythic rarity. They are both iconic by the normal definition, but in this case MaRo is using a specific definition. Iconic types are specifically powerful rare cards, while representative types are less powerful common cards.

Hyena aren't even remotely dogs, if anything they are more closely related to cats but even that's a stretch... A hyena is to a cat, what a bear is to a dog... :^)

[@SciDraco]

There better be more Phyrexians! How they went out was pathetic for such a potential arc. Like, they could have had Urbrask help the other side. Later, had him live and casually a Phyrexian type would pop up. A story; that a creature was desperate to not die and become Phyrexian. Maybe Lilliana trying to stay beautiful forever by becoming mechanical. A new and more powerful Elish Norn. Really, she would probably be like Sheoldred and Elish Norn, but her own thing.
