Magic Open House: Full-art foil Silvergill Adept.Prerelease Events took place on January 13, 2018.

By tracking Dinosaurs, Merfolk, Vampires, and Pirates individually, accompanied by votes on social media, it was decided who controlled the golden city at the end of the Rivals of Ixalan story. As game pieces travelled from from geochache to geocache, the distances they travelled influenced the release of preview cards. Īs part of the preview season, Wizards of the Coast again distributed trackable game pieces to stores, fans, volunteers, and some well-known community folk. The set doesn't feature a Masterpiece Series. The boosters feature artwork from Sun Sentinel, Angrath, the Flame-Chained, Riverwise Augur, Frilled Deathspitter, and Moment of Craving. Rivals of Ixalan is sold in 16-card boosters (one card being a marketing card), two planeswalker decks and the Rivals of Ixalan bundle. Rivals of Ixalan Magic Story Alternate Endings Huatli, Saheeli Rai, Angrath, Vraska, Nicol Bolas, Jace, Apatzec Intli IIIĪn additional article was published presenting alternate endings (now non-canon) that depicted each faction gaining control of Orazca.

This is the first set to only have three spotlight cards. The cards that represent the Story Spotlights in Ixalan are: Flood of Recollection, Induced Amnesia, and Mastermind's Acquisition. An unexpected rival takes the prize for his master. The winner will wield the greatest power of the plane. The legendary city of Orazca has been found, but it is not claimed without a fight. Notably, head designer Mark Rosewater wasn't part of the team. With the exception of the Elder Dinosaur cycle, all the tribes are staying in their same colors from Ixalan.Īs the design of this set fell between the abandonment of the Two-Block Paradigm, but before the introduction Three-and-One Model, Rivals of Ixalan had a combined Vision/ Set Design team instead of separate Design and Development teams. Nine additional cards are found in the set's planeswalker decks (2 mythic planeswalkers, 2 rares, 2 uncommons, 2 commons, and 1 common dual land). Some of the rares are Double-faced cards which were printed on a separate print sheet. The set contains 196 cards (5 basic lands, 70 common, 60 uncommon, 48 rare, and 13 mythic rare) and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. Magic Story brings the lore of the Multiverse to life in an audio presentation never before heard in the Magic community.Rivals of Ixalan is the last regular small expansion to be released. The people in Magic are what's most important. Players need to focus on just the game in front of them. Make the best decision at the time with the information you have, but make a decision. Making the play that sets you up for a win later.
