[@PrincessFelicie]

Dan Shive? of EGS fame?

[@thelastdankbender4353]

@@zagqueenofchaos8352 No, they're nothing like sagas. The good sagas are being played because they don't require you to build a deck around them and just independently provide you with great effects. With dungeons, you always need to build your deck around them to reap some sort of benefit, which is frankly, not a lot. It's the same reason why the party mechanic doesn't see any play.

[@gorba34]

[@Kumagoro42]

So, that's where Bonecrusher Giant and Lovestruck Beast were going all this time!

[@KingGameReview]

so it's kind of like a Saga - but there are some choices and the equivalent of lore counters have to be placed with triggers instead of being placed automatically each upkeep.

[@jamesgratz4771]

Well said

[@plumokin5535]

Sagas were initially supposed to be this way, where you'd only go to the next part of the saga when you had fulfilled the right conditions. I think this is the other part of the original saga design come to life

[@zyibesixdouze4863]

@@plumokin5535 sagas, planeswalkers, dungeons. They had split the original into those three parts. its good we finally have them

[@ilovewiki]

@@plumokin5535 Personally, I love the fact that Sagas didn't end up that way. The upkeep trigger on subsequent chapters is far more reliable than requiring the venture mechanic. Unless your deck is stuffed full of cards that let you venture(which also brings up the question of whether or not these cards are going to be any good outside of this mechanic), depending on the build of the deck, you may not even complete a full dungeon before the end of the game. Maybe if dungeon cards get released that are particularly strong for control decks it could be an interesting angle to take since they are better equipped to force the long-game. At this point, we have a lot more to learn about the mechanic and which cards will provide it. I'm guessing there's not going to be much of a middle ground with this one, love it or hate it. 😅😂

[@IceheartOmnis]

The "venture into the dungeon" effect had better be printed everywhere for this to work, this is like a Saga with 6-7 effects but unlike sagas which always trigger on your upkeep, dungeons need extra cards enabling them, so this sounds like it could be a painfully slow process, and then you have stuff that triggers upon completion of a dungeon so either they have the effect all over the set, or most dungeons won't proceed beyond the first 3 rooms or so.

[@anthonysarmiento974]

I agree. This mechanic looks like a ton of fun. but if it’s not printed on enough cards that matter, it’s gonna suck.

You clearly never played d&d xD it takes days to complete a dungeon and weeks to schedule a new session xD

[@anthonysarmiento974]

@@victorcarrillo2151 I’m a DM a thank you very much lol. Just saying that from a gameplay perspective, it makes sense right now for the card to work quickly, when the current standard format is really fast-paced, and full of aggro. Otherwise the only people who would play this is control

[@IceheartOmnis]

That's one element of D&D I wouldn't like to see being ported into Magic, the "dungeon left halfway through until next week":D

[@Bladius_]

It's very "parasitic" as they call it, at first glace; something they were supposed to stop doing. So we'll have to see what they have planned to change that. Mechanics like Mutate are perfect because they exist in one set, but work with anything. This is... weird unless they plan on supporting it in the future.

The weird thing to me is that you have access to all dungeons (at the start). No drawback whatsoever to having all three.

Flavorful too.

doesn't sound like a permanent, maybe they will explain more if you can bounce or destory/exile em. Said you could counter the room effect. once completed they are removed from game, are repeatable (so no real reason to burn a removal on one when they can just go back to the dungeon again)

Looks like a fun casual variant for Magic, up there with classics like Planech- WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS IN STANDARD

[@wyattis8313]

This is a legit amazing mechanic. Basically super sagas attached to the cards normally in your deck that adds choices to the game. Dangerous to add to the mechanic but definitely something that could have MANY applications

[@dac2007]

The power level of the dungeons seems to be pretty low in the first couple of rooms, I don't now if there will be more, but they don't seem to have rarities so I expect this kind of power level for all of them. Which will keep the mechanic in check. But it'll depend on how easy "venture into the dungeon" will be.

[@XFrozenAshX]

With games being done in less than 5 turns sometimes... Winota etc this seems fun but not going to see play and that makes me so sad. Especially with the state of how daily wins etc are in Arena.

[@ozarcgaming]

Definitely needs so dice roll rng, as that's the core of DND and they totally don't implement it into this.

[@LeviClay]

I think this is actually a really cool idea - the aspect that I feel lets it down is that there aren't enough dungeons!

[@frostwalkerspodcast5864]

I know there’s gonna be a dungeon themed commander deck so I wouldn’t be surprised if more dungeons get printed there. But I think having the 3 only lets them be evergreen for any deck. I would not mind more specific dungeons later down the line if we return to Torill but for now to test the waters I’m okay with 3

[@Chaoslorden]

I really don't understand why you couldn't make the dungeons as lands with a mechanic that has the right flavor. This just seems... I dint know, like nothing I want to play or play against. Could even have saga dungeons instead.

[@TheErmiller]

This is definitely going to be a love it/hate it mechanic. Not sure how I feel about adding in this side adventure into the mix of Magic.

[@TheSniped117]

It's not really as complex or weird as people think. Basically imagine the dungeons as reminder text for every card that says "Venture into the dungeon." There is only 3 dungeons at the moment. So every card that says "Venture into the dungeon" Basically says: Choose one: Scry 1 Each player loses 1 life You gain one life Then depending on which you choose you get more/ different options. None of them are really that great. One is clearly for aggressive decks its payoff is a 4/4 the long one is for decks that will focus on the mechanic and the other one looks like a control dungeon.

[@jeffreybogard2713]

According to the article, there are only three dungeons, and you only need one copy of each.

[@rosedoesntknow1853]

There's going to be maybe 2 or 3 good dungeons, and a few dungeon payoffs. Everybody is going to run them, and it's going to get old really fast. If they want to make these mechanics fun, they'll give as many viable options as possible, dungeons and enablers, not just draft chaff with a few good rares.

[@purpleslushie]

You really only need one dungeon to make it viable. The biggest thing standing in the way is how many other cards can cause venture triggers. You can only have one dungeon out at a time so getting it out and blowing through it as fast as possible is probably your best bet. The cool thing is that, unless we get a rules update, Solemnity doesn't affect dungeons. The bad thing is that other cards preventing card triggers from triggering would essentially render the deck useless. I also don't think that if you're gonna use this in a deck that you're just gonna have 1 or 2 cards to trigger the dungeon unless you have some return from grave or bounce shenanigans to keep triggering it. Both of which are fairly popular stretegies anyway which means people are already likely prepared to counter those decks. I hope these work out. And that perhaps we can keep getting these d&d sets to get more dungeons.

[@didikkurniawan9330]

My question is: Do we need the actual dungeon card when venturing into dungeon at "official" game? Or just like a token/emblem that doesn't need actual card to play? Then how about in "draft"? Should we get at least one random dungeon on each booster? Or if we don't get any dungeon during draft, venturing into dungeon will do nothing?

[@sprmn1983]

Probably nothing...

I’m getting companion vibes from this mechanic. As long as dungeon triggers are generic it should be safe.

[@MindSlain]

@@Mordalon in that regard yes, it’s more learny. But referring more to their lack of interaction of the mechanics’ design. If it were the case that a dungeon was pushed, there’s little the meta could do outside of the normal banning.

Now that’s pretty clever!

[@Battleguild]

If they proceed to make Dungeons into future additions, will Dungeons become the new Planeswalker type? (At least 1 printed every set?) Will Venture eventually become an evergreen keyword to keep supporting this mechanic? Will there be a mechanic to push back a player to a previous room within a dungeon?

[@PantomimeHorse]

Nah. It'll either be fun, or not, and then be left to slide out of rotation.

[@purpleslushie]

So this is a new card type? Does that mean it can be targeted by specific things yet revealed? Or perhaps even by things that, let's say, destroy target permanent? Is it possible to sacrifice the dungeon? Could it be returned to hand? Can it be in the graveyard? Does this imply that the trigger of a dungeon can be countered? There are so many rules to consider for these cards.

[@guyinthecorner0]

They did say that "once the final ability resolves, *or is countered*..." so I wonder what you'd use to do that?

[@purpleslushie]

@GamerBear so yeah more info has come out for it. Now I wonder, things that deny effects from happening (like opponents can't draw more than 1 card per turn) those still prevent the dungeons from granting card draw right?

[@wearevenom81]

So rules wise could you or could you not use this in commander? Cause it's not like lesson where its another card being put into your hand. It's also not really a part of your sideboard either, its in a way really a token/emblem

I like it a lot. It gives you a lot of ways to find answers to the matchup quickly in a best of one format. Also, dungeons are colorless. Which means that theoretically, any color that has been lacking card draw now has a Scry 6, Draw three, cast one for free spell. Which sounds like a load of fun! And they’ve only revealed three dungeons. I think this mechanic specifically makes a lot of sense to have outside of your deck.

All the relevant cards are in one set and it doesn't easily mesh with any other cards in an interesting way. You can't just run a single Venture creature in a deck and expect good results like you can with say an Adorned Pouncer.

@@ThaZapa tell that to every single mono red deck playing Giant/Stomp Legacy decks play the card. Alone. With no other adventure payoffs

Oh great Mad Mage Ultimatum

Are there only three dungeon cards?

[@battlefieldcustoms873]

MTG goes 3D using miniatures thats fun. I am going to find some tiny figures and maybe even build a small 3D model very cool

[@KingQuetzal]

Since they are outside the game that means you cannot use them in commander right? Since there is no sideboard?

[@Gameflyer001]

They don't exist as part of a sideboard, so they can be called upon at any time. They will be Commander-legal.

[@nive3427]

So do we need to draft these or do we have access to them all immediately? If it’s the first boy is that a resource chase.

[@Hatmaster]

Weird but cool!

[@RaphaelLamour]

The visual is so sterile, gray, a pile of text... so uninteresting.

[@thelastdankbender4353]

Cool mechanic, but unless they make the venture cards individually good, I highly doubt this will see any play in constructed. However, I can imagine that this set could become an excellent draft or sealed experience.

[@sprmn1983]

What if u dont draw a dungeon during draft all venture card will be useless...

[@thelastdankbender4353]

@@sprmn1983 I recommend that you'd watch the video again or google the rules before you post.

I hope party returns, think it would be fitting

[@eduvieira2022]

it would be fitting, but I don't think it's gonna happen

[@krixig]

None of the dungeons produce artifacts at the end? Have these people even HEARD of D&D before?

[@Vilestorm]

I think it would be pretty surprising if there weren't at least one that gives you either an artifact or probably some treasure tokens for reaching the end released at some point.

[@davinery1278]

This is very very cool

[@rodor14]

But, how do you progress in the dungeon, every turn is step or everything from start tu finish is in one turn?

[@double2254]

So there is only those 3 or will there be more?
