While the complete spoiler season won’t begin until later in October, Magic: The Gathering’s The Brothers’ War saw some truly interesting reveals yesterday. A teaser was held for the upcoming expansion, which will star the two artificer brothers, Urza and Mishra. Quite a few lore characters will arrive in card form for this set as well.
Many of these characters took sides between the two brothers as their war ravaged the land. Their war ultimately led to the Ice Age, which altered the world of Dominaria in ways that would take years to undo.
What can players expect from The Brothers’ War in Magic: The Gathering? Several very interesting cards have been revealed.
The Brothers’ War will most likely be a very artifact-focused expansion. Considering it stars a pair of brother artificers battling one another, players can expect a number of new and returning artifacts in the set.
A particularly interesting card recently showed up, Mishra’s Foundry. This is essentially a slightly less powerful version of Mishra’s Foundry and is a colorless land that can become a creature. If you have more than one in play, you can use the others to buff the Assembly Worker creature that Mishra’s Foundry becomes.
It only costs two mana to turn it into an artifact creature, making it an incredibly valuable part of any artifact-related strategy. Thanks to this low cost, it’s quite effective in virtually any deck.
A pair of Commander decks will also be arriving in this expansion, an Esper deck built around Urza (Urza, Chief Artificer), and a Grixis deck built around Mishra (Mishra, Eminent One).
Both of these decks will feature 100 cards, all of which will have old-style borders, giving them a very retro and classic look. Old-school Magic: The Gathering
