NEW MTG PRODUCTS

As it comes close to the time for Kaladesh to be released, there will be a few changes to the products that are usually associated with release time, i.e. the Fat Pack and the Intro decks.

The first change will be that the Fat Pack won't be called the Fat Pack anymore, it will be called the Bundle. The only difference will be that it will have 10 booster packs instead of the usual 9. It will have the deck boxes, life counters, encyclopedia booklet of every card in the set, and a deck box to store the cards in. It will also have an 80 land card pack as well. The MSRP price will be $42.99 for the Bundle.

The second change will be that the Intro decks will not be made anymore. Instead they will be coming out as a Planeswalkers deck that will be Standard legal, but the cards and Planeswalkers won't the same as the cards in the set. The example above features Chandra. The whole idea behind the Planeswalker deck is that Wizards of the Coast want to come out with something to appeal to new players and help them learn how to play, synergize, etc. The Planeswalkers decks will also have two of the current set booster packs as well. The MSRP pricing for the Planeswalker decks will be $14.99.

How are your feeling about this change in their products? Let me know in the comments.

As always, thanks for reading my blog.

KELADESH RELEASE DATE!

Sometime ago, Wizards of the Coast released a picture of the future set of Keladesh's newest planeswalker, Saheeli Rai (picture above).  Initially, everyone thought she was going to have a blue and white mana cost Planeswalker; now the card has been spoiled I think everyone is sort of surprised that she has a red and blue mana cost. Her abilities are pretty good for an artifact running deck. I believe she will be seeing plenty of play at the Pro Tour, LGS and the kitchen table.

Two more planeswalkers were spoiled (picture above): Chandra and Nissa. The new Chandra is my favorite Planeswalker card, I’d love to get my hands on it. Will they see play? Who knows. Let me know what your feelings are on them.

Keladesh is set to be released on September 30th, 2016, with the pre-release being held on September 24th and 25th 2016.  The online release date is much later, as usual: to be released on October 10th, 2016, with the pre-release date of October 7th-10th, 2016.

The pro tour for Keladesh starts on October 14th-16th, 2016, set in the beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii. The format is of course Standard; players will be drafting the cards to build their decks. Good luck to all the players visiting the beautiful islands.
