WotC Check out Magic: the Gathering's Tiamat

We've known for a while that WotC is releasing D&D-themed Magic: the Gathering cards, as a set called Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. Artist Chis Rahn has shared his Tiamat.

"Been looking forward to sharing this one for what seems like forever! Tiamat, for Mtg's D&D: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set. This was one of those assignments that I felt incredibly lucky to get. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I enjoyed painting it!"

The MtG set comes out on July 23rd, 2021. The collector's sets have a beholder on the front. ICv2 has more information on the various set configurations. Bell of Lost Souls has some card images.

Red and Blue deck, cast Tasha, then cast Dual Strike. This more brutal on Ween Decks then slower decks.

Pure blue deck, have four Tasha's Hideous Laughter and four Ruin Crabs. Damn, I might have to join the dark side and make a Mill deck...

I was thinking more Brawl then Stardard.

I see this as more of a killer in Standard, where you can play it multiple times, and it's plausible that the opponent's deck will have lots of little guys and Land. This could be killer two or three times in a row.

You could make it work in Brawl where you have a make size of 60 cards or 61 with a Companion, in standard you can have Decks of 250 cards.

Realistically, most Standard decks are going to be 60, since usually fewer cards is better for consistent performance.

I do like that Tasha's Hideous Laughter exiles, one of the challenges of most mill decks is that if you are up against a deck designed to use their graveyard, you are throwing fuel onto the fire that'll burn you. And with any blue "bounce to library" cards like Totally Lost, it's a way to permanently get rid of problems purely in blue.

Commander decks are 99 cards…

Plus Commander. But I meant Brawl.

I'm just happy the Flumph made it.

Its in the big leagues now.

I just got a great deal on a AFR Bundle + 1 AFR Collector Booster + $1 Rainbow Refugee Donation for $62cad tax included. Normally seperately the Bundle costs $45cad + tax and a single Collector Booster costs $33cad + tax so probably like $90 roughly.

So I just got 104-107 commons, 32-35 Uncommons, 50 Basic Lands, 1 special land, 16 M/R, 3 Oversized Dungeon Cards, 20 Sided Die, 1 Foil double sided Token, Deck Box.

Adding in the starter decks I just got and that's another 120 cards for like $7cad and this product comes with Arena codes.
