Honestly, they seem to have hit the story aspect out of the park. I'm incredibly impressed by how they actually made a death race set make sense in magic lore. The new cultural collective using races to entice new recruits? That's totally believable. Them using this race as a way to explore the omenpaths and as a form of soft power? Also absolutely believable. I am actually looking forward to the story of this set. It doesn't seem to have the same problem that MKM had, which I thought would be the case.
Sounds like Avishkar and Ravnica are on a collision course with their intentions. It will be interesting to see how Niv's ego will deal with 'competition' for being a multiplanar hub.
I am sure that Avishkar's new government considers itself to be prudent and shrewd, plotting to stablish themselves amidst the infinite stars that now have opened their eyes towards them. That's so optimistic it sends shivers down my spine. Niv having their aether in his sights should be the less of their concerns. There are likely so many horrors in the multiverse that even the phyrexians, Valgavoth and Bolas would likely not face, and these inventors think they are ready to announce themselves to all that? If the writers don't end up closing the omenpaths soon enough, this multiverse is gonna be nigh unrecognizable soon enough, in a much less exciting way than the organizers of this race can imagine.
I'm glad Miguel works where he does. I'm glad he sees the Omenpath era that isn't just old planes with a gimmick. The addition of new planes and peoples makes the Multiverse actually feel unknowably large.
I can’t believe WotC didn’t also change the name of Amonkhet. If you translate it into Arabic, take the first 5 letters and translate them into French and then back into Arabic backwards the first three letters are sometimes an African slang racist term.
It's a good sign when the background of Magic employees home desk has piles of presumably unsorted Magic cards. Historically, these are the people who care the most about Magic design
Well, we're scheduled to return to Tarkir and Lorwyn, and _Foundations_ is very reminiscent of '90's Magic. Do you mean you miss the classic fantasy hegemony of Magic? That would make a lot more sense as a comment.
Disappointed in Chandra’s bike design, it’s just an Akira ripoff. Giving the design nothing to do with pyromancy or Chandra’s iconic costume was a missed opportunity
some kind of rocket propulsion with roaring flames seems like a no brainer. on the other hand kaladesh already had bikes and card with this kind of wheels. visually this really looks like akira knockoff.
I hate to sound like a bootlicker, but like honestly it doesnt look that bad, im looking forward to the set, i dont hate the world designs and finally getting to see muruganda is super neat. I dont like WOTC and i dont agree with a lot of the choices theyve made with the story but the art is still nice in my opnion
You're allowed to get excited about the hobby you are invested in, and that doesn't make you a bootlicker. You can enjoy the game while also criticizing the corporatism. I say this as an anarchist.
It's good to see good reception to this feeling, cuz I think a lot of Magic players, more than get acknowledged, feel that the game is fun regardless of what they're story choices are. Many do want to have more of the Magic aesthetics back, and that's fine, but just as many accept whatever the story is, good or bad, and care more about the Magic gameplay.
@@elliottroose4194 I love this idea It really makes the multiverse feel both more expansive and more interesting, all of the completely different ideas and aesthetics all being part of the same universe that's what makes Magic the Gathering special
The good thing about Magic is that there's sets for almost anyone nowadays. I used to be that guy that was like, "They're ruining Magic." But it's good that their expanding the universe. One thing I don't like though is the Universe Beyond stuff.
We need a take the lead mechanic, like a monarch emblem, that gives the racers creatures buffs if their controller is in the lead, or buff if the player is not on the lead. To simulate a race change of positions
Oh wait this guy wrote the first side story for LCI? I like him a lot more now. Seems like a really enthusiastic and cool dude. It’s like, and I this is hard to believe sometimes, but it feels like there are still people that care about Magics story. That makes me happy.
I'm super excited about the mummy racing team from Amonkhet! I loved Amonkhet when we first went there, but the poor card quality at the time ruined the experience for me. I really hope that Embalm comes back
On the note of changing the name of Kaladesh to Avishkar: It will, at least for me be like with twitter, which is actually called X now. Still call it Kaladesh because I am so used to it and it has a Set named after it. That being said, I am not against that change per se. Especially as long as they make that Set a good one.
In the time I've been playing, Magic will have gone from three sets for a plane to three planes in a set. It's kind of a hard sell for me, but I really hope it turns out alright and avoids being an Aftermath 2.0 where there's so much happening all at once. I *am* curious about the idea of setting things up for down the road in this new era for the Multiverse. If there were any plane to try for being the hub, I can see Ravnica or Avishkar being interesting opponents/rivals. I'm sure the peoples of Dominaria have had enough of being central to things. I'm still kind of worried we won't get a lot of good looks into the world with the race also being a focus. Ugh! I'm so tossed up about this one.
“Strictly Magic in a Capital M sense.” That pains me. It’s like they know what they’re doing and are leaning away from magic intentionally. But now I have higher hopes for aetherdrift than expected.
Dunno why i am so interested in this set but something really calls me to it. I hope it's good, but i can understand why people are turned off about it
@Imanmagnet00 I'm right with you, it's really a compelling design space to me, even though its very sans-Magic flavor. It's like a different company getting Magic aesthetics but we get to have Magic cards of it. Like a weird reverse Secret Lair
Not impress, but same happen to thunder junction, and now I love the set, time will tell...... And plz bring back more Planeswalker, what you guys have done to Niko was a blasphemy, if basri become a monster I will kit for this S
I really want to be positive but i absolutely hate what omenpaths(especially stable ones) have done to the multiverse. It just feels so small now. Instead of worlds theyre just suburbs cities or countries. Getting to see worlds like Muraganda that we otherwise wouldnt is a decent use, but just slapping race tracks all over this unique world, or our first decent return to Amonkhet feels awful. We had this potential to see a compelling bleak world after the events of HoD and follow the survivors but now we go right to rebuilding and healing and roads everywhere. This would have been a great un set, or a race set on Avishkar could have explored the concept well but as is this will be the first set i spent $0 on in a very long time. (this Avishkar name change has been handled extremely well though and that is definitely a positive to see)
There are so many relatively unexplored planes that we could just focus on. I’m so tired of these Marvel End Game full universe blender unearned. They lose their on stories. What’s the political climate on Vryn? What’s the deal with Alkabah? Is there more than just a school on Arcavios? Belanon?This other stuff is just uninspired and too heavy handed. It’s bad. This should be called 2 Kaladesh 2 Boring. You guys took years and years to settle out and unveil Bolas’s big plan back to godhood. It was epic and exciting! You rushed the Phyrexian reinvasion thru just a couple years. It was fun but less exciting and cathartic. Now we get all universe salad sets. It just feels like a lack of quality and care in actual story building and more just fan service. This could have been A Muraganda set. I’ll buy some singles but skipping this set overall
Very complicated way of saying the world kaladesh was changed because it was derogatory term for something in Hindu and you were afraid it would make people angry with a specific translation of the word when you got a book on kaladesh and card with it in the name it is ok to say it
No one ever had an issue with Kaladesh. It just makes no sense but in a mind which should seek professional psychological help. It's definitely not healthy always thinking the worst, even when countless years prove you have nothing to fear.
@ not gonna lie no to busy with copters that and social media has changed a lot in the last number of years although if you got links to articles of that being an issue I would love to see them posted here
It screams a bit "Hot Wheels"...? It feels like the world of Magic has been tossed to the side to feel more like reality, but Magic wasn't suppose to be reality... Maybe less forrmula 1 look with full on engines, and more vehicles/transportation methods that reflect the actual planes character through their choice of transportation of what each plane believes is their fastest form of planes travel. Maybe a version of Esika's chariot from Kaldheim, Moonshaker Calvary's carriage from Eldrain, or a new mount card that can reflect Ikoria beasts that had been tamed for races after the planes crossover due to phyrexia take over? I like the overall race idea, but I don't think the race cars reflect the world or the planes of magic. none the less, still excited to try these mechanics out! The world building and art from what i saw however has missed a great opportunity to build the worlds in a better way after the take over of Phyrexia and leaving the encompassing world of magic dwindling...
@@Buchaus Well there is a reason why the plane has been corrupted and changed its name. So your request seems silly. Kaladesh name changed for yet another washing (same as tribal becoming kindred).
Just a Guess for the 10 Teams: The Aether Rangers: Izzet The Champions of Amonkhet: Orzhov Cloudspire Racing Team: Boros The Guidelight Voyagers: Azorius The Speed Demons: Dimir The Goblin Rocketeers: Gruul The Alacrian Quickbeasts: Selesnya The Speedbrood: Golgari The Keelhaulers: Simic The Enriders: Rakdos 😊😅

This interview would have been great if half of it wasn't dude tripping over his own words with "uh's and um's." Youd think he'd have written down what he intended to talk about and delivered something resembling a professional presentation, but here we are.
Oh boy! Wacky Racers meets Nascar MtG world. Can't wait for the confederate flag fan boys to join the game. WotC has lost touch with the people who buy their products and sold the sprit of the game for bad themes and IP crossovers. Yall need to stop towing the company line and actually a make real change to what MtG really is.
Yeah I am gonna skip this set. I am not putting an album with a carflag in my collection :P I refuse. This is to far away from fantasy and Magic. But maybe the mechanics are good. But I am not coming for cars or races.
The world building here is fantastic and one of the strengths of Magic, but less care is being taken 0f the game pieces and limited formats themselves. At this point I think a Magic tv series would be great, but I’m happy just playing on Arena as I don’t need to own much of the new stuff.
Interesting. I feel like its the exact opposite. Mechanically standard is at its best in a long time, we’re getting great limited sets, and commander is booming. But the worldbuilding lately has been nothing short of awful. Detective hats, major contradictions, and OTJ which was not only shallow and Fortnity but also is probably the most racist set I can think of in recent memory (I’m American Indian and I could rant forever about that last point.)
