Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Mechanics

Hail, adventurer! Before you set out for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, take a moment to learn about how this world works.

magic.wizards.com

"Dungeons don't go in your deck. Rather, they start outside the game and end up in the command zone for a while. More on that later. In games held under tournament conditions, "cards from outside the game" means cards from your sideboard, but dungeons work a little differently. Dungeons don't take up sideboard slots. You always have access to all three dungeons, and you'll never need more than one of the same one. If you're playing with dungeons, just keep them with your sideboard until you need them."

Dungeons look cool. The design is interesting and I dunno, I like it. Sagas with choice.

The old school module frame is also being used for at learning one reprint, and I do think the module number relates to rarity type, @Urriak Uruk :

Well, C7 is another module that hasn't been used, and here's info on the C series;

C—Competition[2] modules for AD&D (1st) are specially designed for competition play and come with a scoring system for player actions. The most famous C module is C1, the Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan.

Unlike Den of the Bugear, this one can't really be a sequel to any of the C series; it's only level 1-4!

So, should we expect U and M series cards?

Possibly!

I think the Level recs are random, but R for Rare and C for Common seems to be a possible trend.

I'm just having fun research.

Based on past trends, I hope we get some in-depth explanations of these frames, because they are awesome.

The dungeons are interesting. I just wish there were more of them.

Here's the second set of basics...
That makes 10 so far, see them all at: type:basic set:afr unique:prints

Wait: Behirs can laugh?

 

[Charlaquin]

Looks like I was mostly right about how dungeons would work, but wrong about them going in a sub-deck. So now I’m quite confident dice rolling will be the mechanic coming in from silver border.

 

[King Babar]

The old school frames are absolutely brilliant.

Please MTG, let me quit you.

Well, I imagine a module called “Evolving Wilds” would have to be an exploration-based adventure. Probably a hex-crawl, and scored based on points of interest discovered or something along those lines.

Silly people on the main subreddit are complaining that the Dungeon Mechanic is parastic, which basically means it doesn't interact well with other mechanics which is bs. The Dungeon can trigger life gain, treasure and creature tokens, force sacrifices, etc..., all of which interact with cards from previous sets, from Goblin tribal, to Magda, to Vito, to Heliod, to Purphoros, to that Assembly Worker from MH2, that enchantment that grants a bonus squirrel token when creating other tokens, Divine Visitation turning tokens into 4/4 Angels, etc...,

And trigger a venture itself has plenty of interactions from flicker effects, to cards that cause enter the battlefield effects to go off twice, to Emberclever giving that blue rogue that ventures when dealing damage to a player double strike and trample.

Dungeon cards looking pretty damn cool. But those aren't the only dungeons that are going to be in this set, right?

The hivemind is notoriously bad at adjudicating the effectiveness of new mechanics before they hit the Meta. Could go either way, particularly since it is so complex.
