While it wont encourage me to buy it, I would be fascinating to see if they have the courage to release this as a "Everyone is playing a spellcaster" setting.

If they did that, it would be interesting if they did a readjustment of the Eberron Dragonmark Rules and flip them to a form of a Supernatural Gift.

The Birb is avoiding eye contact with you because the owl knows that you know!

As the prophecies foretold.

As the prophecies foretold.

For it was the Word.

 

[darjr]

The word of the owls

The word of the owls

and their courts.

Man, I wish it was tomorrow already.

I wonder though, if we will officially get WoTC Bearfolks and Dryads as Lineage options in the Strixhaven UA.

if they have the courage to release this as a "Everyone is playing a spellcaster" setting.

That would completely ignore the lore of Strixhaven, which has several creature cards that are non-magical warrior types in a "defend the school" role.

This is also another reason why comparing it to Potter is lazy. It's much more Winx than Potter, especially in this aspect.

I'm surprised the Strixhaven Alternative cover hasn't been revealed yet.

I'm surprised the Strixhaven Alternative cover hasn't been revealed yet.

How surprised are you on a scale of 1-10? Like mildly bemused, or wide-eyed startled?

To be honest, quite a mix of both really. I'll be shocked or sad if Strixhaven doesn't get a nice Alternative Cover. Then again, Ravnica didn't get one, but Theros did. So it could be a 50/50 shot if Witchlight takes the Alternative Cover slot and Strixhaven doesn't.

They've got five days worth of reveals upcoming. They don't need to release all info on day one.

See, my thinking is that for most of the multidinous anthropomorphic animals in Strixhaven (it's Narnia levels, seriously), if the book mightninclude something like the Tasha's custom Lineages with a bunch of animal traits that can be mixed and matched.

Sounds like it would be a crap ton better than the actual Custom Lineage rules in tashas.

This is also another reason why comparing it to Potter is lazy. It's much more Winx than Potter, especially in this aspect.

The vast majority of people on Earth, when they hear "magical school sourcebook" are going to think "Harry Potter." Everything we've heard so far is marketing, which is about introducing the product to customers.

"Hey, it's like a cartoon you may have never heard of and a kind-of hated Netflix show" isn't the best foot to lead with in marketing.
