Magic: The Gathering Announces New Card Set for 2019

A new card set for Magic: The Gathering was announced Thursday morning at Comic-Con International in San Diego.

The Hasbro Media Breakfast event unveiled the Throne of Eldraine card set, with a prerelease date of Sept. 28-29.

One side of the card reads, "The Royal Courts of Eldraine Request the Honor of Your Presence," with the other revealing the Throne of Eldraine title and prerelease date as fairies soaring through the air with weapons at the ready.

More information will be revealed at Saturday’s Mark Rosewater's Panel on July 20, which kicks off at 6:30 PM in Room 24ABC.

Anyone want to run bets on our first faerie 'walker?

Would be about time. Surprised they didn't give us one in War of the Spark.

Huh, Faeries. I wonder if they'll synergize with Lor/Mor Faeries.

I wonder if Eldraine is merged Lor/Mor.

No, MaRo is on record that the fall set takes place on a new plane that we have not been to before.

Also, I love that the faeries have button shields and ground-down keyblades and needle spears.

Is that a guess or an announcement? I ask because all I've heard so far is that the face 'Walker is going to be from there, and Kasmina does have the right aesthetic to fit that bill.

Maro why is my twitter feed exploding with talk about faries???

markrosewater said:
Because the card/invitation we made announcing the October set has a picture of Faeries on it. Since that was the only hint about the world beside the name, the assumption was made the Faeries must matter a lot to the world. They’re there. There are Faeries in the set, but nowhere at the volume or importance that people seem to be assuming. That’s why all the Faerie talk. I promise on Saturday at the Magic panel, I will make it clear what Throne of Eldraine is about.
Setting expectations.

Face 'Walker is Rowan Kenthrith. People are speculating that she is filling in for the Red Riding Hood trope or that she and her brother, Will, are slotting into the Hansel and Gretle story of this fairy tale world. Also people are speculating Garruk will make an appearance as a currupted huntsman.

thoalmighty asked:
It’s great that we get to see the Kenrith’s home plane, but it admittedly feels odd seeing Rowan but not Will. Are you able to tell us whether Will is in the set or where he is if he is not?

markrosewater said:
Will’s in the set.

miztickow asked:
Is the 3rd Planeswalker in ELD a new or old character?

markrosewater said:
One of the planeswalkers in Throne of Eldraine is new.

So unless there is more than three 'walkers in this set, then there is no Garruk and no Arlinn.
