Sixty Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Number of Cards 249 Prerelease Events September 21-22, 2013 Release Date September 27, 2013 Launch Weekend September 27-29, 2013 Pro Tour Theros Dates October 11-13, 2013 Game Day October 19-20, 2013 The following sets in the block will be "Born of the Gods" and "Journey into Nyx". All signs are pointing towards it being based on Greek Mythology. As excited as I am for it, it better win over Innistrad since Theros is replacing it this fall. Discuss, Magic fans.

Flame Dragon Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 The 3 mechanics aren't over the 3 sets. Its 1 per group. The Gods have one, the Heros have one, and the Monsters have one. The challenges and elite creatures is something that will be done at the prerelease/release day/game day. At least thats what I think they were saying. Also, heard that the set is going to have a higher than normal number of Legands. Not shocking since they just changed the legand rule likely to make the set play better.

.Rai Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Shall be corrected. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more Legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Apparently the same people at the head of Innistrad, Erik Lauer and Mark Rosewater, are at the head of Theros. Considering Innistrad was their first time and that set literally won "best flavor" in all of Magic history, I have high hopes Theros will be just as amazing.

Well Mark and Erik weren't the ones that did the heavy lifting on the flavor. They just made one of the best draft formats in Magic. The creative team does the flavor, and seeing as how they should have most of the same people, flavor should be a home run as well. All we have is art and it looks super awesome already.

Flame Dragon Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 From Pax Australia. More or less the same stuff, but we got this sweet image. I think this is the Blue God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Im pretty sure that art is for the U/G merfolk planeswalker that they said was in development a few years ago. Or it could be for the blue god, but im hoping for the planeswalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the U/G walker we currently know about Since her thing is giant sea monsters, I think she has a decent chance of making it into the set.

.Rai Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 The goddess image is of Thassa, the blue goddess. The planeswalker being speculated (that Flame Dragon posted a picture of) is Kiora. At this point, most of the design team on Wizards have pointed heavily towards Kiora being in the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Seriously, I bet all of the cards with galaxies incorporated into them (I assume it's a visual art cue for the gods) look amazing in foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 http://imgur.com/a/G8BhC Another card type to feed to the goyf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miror B Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 http://imgur.com/a/G8BhC Another card type to feed to the goyf. Wouldn't it fall under Enchantment and Artifact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I think it counts as its own card type. Just like arcane instant/sorcery or tribal instants/sorcery/enchantment is its own separate card type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I think it will just count as 2 card types for Goyf. Like Artifact Creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
