Shadowmoor Previews!

103shadowmoor.jpg

The previews for Shadowmoor have been flowing fast at magicthegathering.com--here's a summary of what's been revealed thus far:

First of all, there's a Shadowmoor minisite.

Magic Arcana
has had a bunch of art and release previews, including booster packaging, the Fat Pack, theme decks, a wallpaper, Tokens, another wallpaper, and a Fat Pack wallpaper.

In terms of articles, there's an introduction to the dark fairytale of a setting that is Shadowmoor, the first card previews, an article about a very angry troll (that can gain +20/+20 when circumstances are right), an article on the tribes-but-not-tribal nature of the set, an article about a card that combines aggro and disruption, an article about monocolor hybrid costs in which a card can cost (2/B)(2/B)(2/B)--anywhere from three to six mana, more previews, an article about how Shadowmoor twists ideas previously seen in Lorwyn, an article about the new keyword "Conspire," and an article about a card that will really help out late-game Black/Red aggro.

Of course, the most important things are the card previews themselves--here's a site with all of them so far. There's a scary card that instantly brings all copies of itself back into play, there's the aforementioned huge-getting troll, there's tons of cards centred around -1/-1 counters, a buncha muncha cruncha scarecrows, a creature that makes every other creature a 1/1, a two-mana two-card-drawing card that has the expense of a -1/-1 counter on one of your creatures, and more. Interesting set, certainly. Keep checking the site everyday if you want more!

Magic art is so pretty. I wish more of it was readily available for me to cannibalize for use in online D&D/other-table-top-game-system games.
