Rands posts about Magic: The Gathering historyさんのイラストまとめ

With THE BROTHERS' WAR set only days away, here is the very first article that introduced that storyline to Magic players.

Published in The Duelist 1.5 (May 1994), it features two Dominiarian history scholars bickering over the then-known facts of "The Brothers' War".

@targetplayer nah they okay.

MAGIC ORIGINS officially launched 7yrs ago today!

This core set stood out from many before it as it not only had new card designs but entirely new keywords too.

Alongside the 1st double-face Planeswalker cards, it added the Renown & Menace keywords + the 'Spell mastery' ability

Japanese-speaking Magic Players got a treat 21yrs ago today:

The release of MAGIC: THE GATHERING on the SEGA Dreamcast!

This was the first console game to adequately recreate the card game's rules & featured 354 cards (mostly 6th Edition)—10 of which were exclusive to this game

This weekend marks 11yrs since MTG's NEW PHYREXIA expansion officially launched!

The set added a new type of mana cost to the game: Phyrexian mana. Φ

This special mana cost had its own set of symbols & could be payed with either that respective color of mana OR by paying 2 life

15yrs ago today, MTG players glimpsed the future of the game at FUTURE SIGHT prereleases across the world.

Along with the unconventional "futureshifted" card frame & other mechanics, the set debuted of some of Magic's now-most familiar keyword terms—Deathtouch, Lifelink & Reach!

recently saw that AMBASSADOR OAK was called "Moose & Squirrel" during playtesting—a Rocky & Bullwinkle reference—and was a Moose creature that entered the battlefield with a Squirrel token. 🦌🐿️

Now all I want is a version that is flavored as originally designed.
