For some reason, bunch of reveals from True Blood people
Good for Ur-Dragon decks, not so much elsewhere
Deborah Ann Woll and Joe Manganiello are big D&D nerds; Woll hosts (or maybe hosted?) one of those playthrough podcasts, and Manganiello has a giant fancy basement game room where he DMs. So it makes sense to pull them in for a D&D set.
I wouldn't even play this in my mono red dragon tribal EDH deck. Wizards pls
It's worse than a signet since it can only cast dragons. Liquimetal Torque just came out which is ace for mono red since it has artifact removal in spades. And before that Cursed Mirror which can double as a threat in the late game.

I don't doubt there are going to be mana rocks with upsides printed in future sets.
I absolutely love the idea. I've only been playing D&D for a couple of years but always appreciated the settings characters etc. so I'm really excited about it.Never considered they'd do a brand crossover set like this. How wild to have such traditional D&D things in Magic card form!
as long as you stick to just playing limited for this set and dont get sucked into the cesspit that is standard youll probably have fun for a whileIt's been 8 years since I last played MtG but man, this set is tempting me. I love D&D, I LOVE those alternate cards that look like module covers. The dungeon mechanic sounds fun. But I also know it's a money trap, and honestly everything I've heard about the game nowadays makes its sound like WOTC/Hasbro has gotten really greedy with all the different kinds of packs, the rampant release schedule, the frequent bans. It just...doesn't sound appealing to get into.
But damn this set is tempting me.

The heavy use of random ability words is going to confuse a lot of people, I think.
As part of the "Universes Beyond" thing they've got going on they're going to be making a Warhammer 40K one, and even though I've played that for years I'm nowhere near as excited about it as I am for this set.
In the past, ability words were only used for mechanics that appeared frequently in the set. As we've seen more of them in this set, I think it'll be clear to players that it's more like ability-specific flavor text and they'll pretty quickly get that these aren't all abilities they have to keep an eye out for.

I love D&D, so this set has been cool, but I mostly play in non-Faerun settings so the appeal has been a bit mixed. 40k, though... that's my shit. Looking forwards to that.I absolutely love the idea.

New players? Ability words aren't exactly recent.I heard several people during Strixhaven season struggling to figure out what Magecraft meant, not knowing the difference between a keyword and a keyword action, and that Magecraft is literally spelled out on every card it's on.
But there *are* Dinosaurs in D&D.I can't say I'm a fan of applying the creature type Dinosaur, which actually existed in our world, to a made up creature in a fantasy world like Dungeons & Dragons. Just call them beasts or dragons.
One time I won a PTQ with 4 Lavaclaw Reaches. True story. No it wasn't Jund lol

I can't believe Wizards finally broke down and printed an explicitly adult card. I guess we're chasing that Game of Thrones market!
Oh cool, Drizzt is finally in Magic. This drow is everywhere haha.
Wishes have always been worded like thatI love the wording for Wish. I feel like it opens the door for all sorts of cards. Pokémon. Yu-gi-oh. The Ace of Spades. Pull up Hearthstone on your phone, go nuts with it.
Love it. Just keep every card you own in your home library. Bingo bango Blue Eyes White Dragon.
T-Rex is cool since it's a real dinosaur. There are many dinosaurs in MtG that are inspired by theropods like the Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus. It's when they're obviously fake hybrids it rubs me the wrong way.There are dinosaurs in DnD. I mean the Tarasque isn't one, but you can just straight up fight a T-rex depending on the world and region.
Surprised gnolls are their own creature type when they're just hyena people.
