Oh, honey, hold onto your hats because Wizards of the Coast is at it again! 🙄 Fresh off the heels of the *totally* groundbreaking and record-smashing *Universes Beyond – Final Fantasy* set (yeah, right) and the still-totally-relevant *Edge of Eternities* (who even remembers that?), they’re gracing us with *Magic: The Gathering | Avatar: The Last Airbender*. Because what we *really* needed was more ways to spend our money on cardboard.
Like we didn’t see this coming, the *MTG* | *Avatar: The Last Airbender* set is bringing us new (and regurgitated) mechanics to the sacred tabletops of Magic: the Gathering. Yawn. I mean, sure, they’re throwing in a bonus sheet because who doesn’t love more filler? But let’s be real, we’re all just waiting for the special guests, which are, as we all know, a ploy to get people to buy even *more* cards. Thanks, WOTC! 👍
So, what’s new in this cash grab? Let’s dive in:
Waterbending: Because tapping creatures and artifacts to pay costs is *so* innovative. 😴 You get to tap stuff or use mana, player’s choice! How thrilling! Prepare to be amazed by the sheer depth of gameplay this adds.
Earthbending: Oh, look, we’re turning lands into creatures! Has that *ever* been done before? Groundbreaking! And when your precious land-creature dies, it comes back as a land! It’s the circle of life, *Magic*-style! Get ready to overpay for lands that do things!! 💸
Airbending: Because sometimes you just need to *flicker* things for the heck of it. But wait, there’s a twist! You get to cast it for LESS mana! So generous, WOTC! Seriously, who comes up with this stuff? But hey, at least you can play cards from exile, which is *totally* useful. 🙄
Firebending: Aggro players, rejoice! Now your creatures poop out mana when they attack! Because what *Magic* *really* needed was *more* ways to one-shot your opponents. This is peak game design, folks. Prepare to be burned…by the meta! 🔥
And let’s not forget the *stunning* special card treatments! Because who doesn’t want to spend extra money on pretty pictures? We have showcase cards, extended art cards, and iconic imagery slapped onto *Magic* cards. It’s like they’re not even trying anymore.
Here’s the breakdown of where to find these precious, overpriced pieces of cardboard:
And because WOTC loves us so much, here are the MSRPs for all the products:
* Play Booster: $6.99 (because who wouldn’t want to pay that for a CHANCE at a good card?)
* Collector Booster: $37.99 (for the whales among us)
* *Jumpstart* Booster: $6.99 (more like Jumpstart Your Debt)
* Bundle: $69.99 (a bargain!)
* Commander’s Bundle: $109.99 (because Commander players have *way* too much money)
* Scene Box: $41.99 (perfect for reliving your favorite scenes…on cardboard!)
* Beginner Box: $34.99 (teaching noobs to spend their money early)
So mark your calendars for October 28, when WOTC will unveil even *more* ways to empty your wallet. And don’t forget to pre-order, because FOMO is a powerful marketing tool! Happy spending! 💸🎉
Here are some cards that didn’t make the cut above but are equally as spectacular as the rest. Get ready to play solitaire!
WOTC will be kicking off previews next month with the set’s debut on October 28, so fans can tune in to the debut on the official Magic: The Gathering YouTube channel. The full set release is scheduled for November 21, and a designated date for pre-orders has not been revealed just yet, so fans should check storefronts like Amazon regularly if they want to secure the next Magic: The Gathering | Avatar: The Last Airbender Universes Beyond cards.
Oh boy I can’t wait for this dumpster fire! 🔥🗑️
