D&D General MtG Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Spoiler Thread

Have we considered that WotC might want to distance themselves from “horny Gandalf?”

Fair point, I could see where they might feel that way.

Well, well, well...Mordenkainen is not the Blue Planeswalker either, this Mindflayer eliminates him.

I don't think this card is a Planeswalker?

 

[Bardic Dave]

I'm a little lost, how do we know that is not the case?

Because apparently there is an official table of all the cards in the set listed in alphabetical order with blank slots for the unrevealed cards, and the reveal of the mindflayer card eliminates the last remaining slot where a blue card starting with the letter M could go.

Mind Flayer is Collector Number 64, Mordenkainen's Polymorph is number 65, Pixie Gide is 66. The Collectors numbers are alphabetical, grouped by Colo. No Mordy card.

Ah I get it now!

Leave it to DnD players to min max spoiler season....

 

[Urriak Uruk]

Just curious, who are the Planeswalkers in this? Is it Ellywick, Lolth, and Zariel so far?

Name and number crunching has been a thing for as long as MtG spoiler season has been a thing. Back in the day when core sets were 100% reprints, we’d have the whole set figured out way early this way,

So unless they've done something funky with his name, the only slots left for Elminster (if he's in the set) are artifact and mono-white. I think it's safe to say he's not going to be an artifact. Mono-white...? Not really what I envisioned, but it isn't totally bonkers.

Or he might be in one of the Commander decks. He'd fit nicely as an alt commander in the Bant one.
