I'm betting my cookies that they'll show slowly animated creatures headbutting eachother, then a fast followup onto "wait another 2 months" announcement for the actual Closed Beta registration announcement.
Add some marketing spice on top and here's the salt pie we'll be served.

lol, i'm worried about that too buddy

Odds on it being all about the MMO or puzzlequest?

Money is still on the MOBA the Gathering.

i would love the PuzzleQuest thing but they've already done that and I don't think it was that successful.

I don't see how they can't have a major component being about the card game, if the physical game is continuing, then doing a digital version for profit doesn't seem like that much more work and the market is there for it.

it would be hilarious if it's just a digital version of the Magic board game (Arena of the Planeswalkers).


...i'd still buy it

They literally have just done an announcement of the announcement stream, once again WOTC out pariodying themselves

(also stream is 1pm pacific on 7th september, special guests Amaz and Gaby spartz so you know they're taking it super seriously this time they swear)

Scamaz?!?!? Really?!?

Like i said, if they're rolling out the hearthstone celeb's they're done playing games

Great. Guess they have already gotten into the mindset of trying to lure kids into a microtransactions hellhole.

Oh boy, can't wait for the 7th.
Not only for the possible announcement of an announcement of the beta.

Well it sounds like it is indeed the supposed duels replacement so we can finally see what it is and as fun as joking about it is, if its free I'm sure I'm not the only one that will play it regardless of all the troubles we have had before.

It's a simulation of a simulation, INSIDE of another simulation.

I'm less surprised to see that given that Amaz participated in the latest Pro Tour and made day 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya4ANNKOzZ8

Unless they deliver an actual microtransactions/energy-timeout hellhole, or a worse premium paywall M15 pre-Garruk crap, plenty of people will dig in.
Hell, I'd give it a shot even if the whole game was about planeswalker masters feeding you grind fetch-quests in a top down pixelated environment.

Really? So how did he qualify? Does he play Magic regularly or did they just invite him?

I'm quite sure there was a debate about wizards inviting him to have more audience among his followers or heartstone kids anyway, instead of someone else that would have probably deserved it more.

Yup, he got a special invite. Actually they announced him in May already: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/organized-play/amaz-comes-kyoto-plus-video-through-june-2017-05-25.

I've been watching Disjointed on Netflix so as I'm sitting here having wake up coffee my brain read "special guests Dank and Dabby".
THAT would be amazing!
