The Dominaria Release Notes were leaked in China, which has the mechanics and majority of the rares/mythics in the set. Wizards has since posted a translated version.
My dad works for Nintendo, he says Ludicolo and Knuckles are gonna be in the new Smash Bros.

Keep up the damage control, Jeremy. Magic's still dying, after all.
Logan Long
i wish.
good sleep my lil princess
Joshua Taylor
your message doesnt make any sense mark, go to bed
Ayden Lewis
I heard there was another leak but I really dont care enough for standard stuff. What are the major mechanic changes? I saw some stuff about about not being able to redirect to planeswalkers unless specified, but that was already talked about months ago. Did modern get any new toys from whats been leaked?
Sebastian Collins
A lightning helix with Firesong and Sunspeaker gains you 6 life and deals 9 damage (in packets of three) Warleader's Helix gains 8 and deals 10. Brightflame...depends on the boardstate, but gives you X life plus X per creature, and 6 extra damage to your opponent's face (but holy fuck that lifegain, it's actually RELEVANT) Other cards that work with it on both sides in just RW: Energy Bolt, Arrows of Justice, Aurelias Fury, Boros Charm, Deflecting Palm, Fire At Will, Intimidation Bolt, In other colors: Fiery Justice, Last Stand, Crackling Doom, Mardu Charm, Jeskai Charm, Naya Charm Captain's Maneuvers and Reflect Damage don't work with it.
Alexander Cox
nope, just the usual, its bolt/counterspell with a tacked on conditional.
Zachary Thompson
Kamigawa 2.0/Legends 3.0 but without any good lore or flavor because nuWotC will fuck that up hard (see: Ixalan story) Conditional stuff is tied around creatures now, 2R for a 3 damage spell that becomes a bolt when you have a wizard
Brandon Harris
>bladewing twins >no haste Rorix and Tarox would both be ashamed.
Angel Brown
Modern got FUCK TRON AND STORM: the Artifact. MAYBE the bolt/counterspell that cost more but become actual bolt/counterspell (costwise) if you control a Wizard. Lots of good wizards, after all.
Daniel Myers
>Did modern get any new toys from whats been leaked? nothing so far beside a side tool artifact for (2) against tronfags and stormfags. wake me up when something is worth mentioning

Lucas Diaz
It's trying to reword protection into their current idea of what it should be, since they consider protection not intuitive and not fun.
Nolan Taylor
lmao.
This is not a leak. There is no way something this stupid would make it out of r&d- even outside the mechanics of the game, it's grammatically nonsensical.
Dominic Flores
mfw people thought counterspell and bolt would be in this set and it would be the saving grace of mtg
Joseph Butler
>lyra dawnbringer >just an anthem for angels reya would be ashamed
Aaron Jones
Literally who thought that? You're making stuff up.
Mason Wright
it's a bad machine translation of a foreign leak.
Nicholas Thomas
Tolarian probably
Samuel Edwards
You fucking wish.
Brayden Mitchell
Which video?
Jace Torres
The fact that "goodbye" has been said numerous times is actually something worth caring about. Some people return; but they fucking sucked at the game anyways and weren't good enough to figure out how to get back into it. But some legitimately good people left and nobody cares that they're gone yet nearly every player knew one of those people who didn't simply grow out of it but felt or saw that Wizards was retarded.
Yeah it's been said to be dead but dead doesn't literally mean "gone". It could be a walking shambling corpse of a game with none of the soul it had or could have. How many people are going to say the game is better and can give compelling reasons for it. Presumably EDH players are happy with all the fresh shit they get but I'm sure that Eternal players are struggling to have events fire and Modern players know new players are getting priced out of their Legacy-Lite format and ex-Standard players usually have nothing good to say about that.
Anthony Ross
Does that mean there's a chance that they aren't actually going backwards and returning Kicker, one of the blandest mechanics ever printed and admittedly so by WotC, of all things?
Thomas Sanchez
His dominaria bets. I dont remember if he exactly said bolt and counterspell, but he expected strong cards like them.
Jonathan Gonzalez
WotC would fake leak like 5 cards and get much of the same effect (a Saga, a nostalgia b8 planeswalker, some of the cooler legendaries). They wouldn't need to leak 80% of their rares and kill their spoiler season just to generate some hype.
Daniel James
I highly prefer kicker to [block-specific rename of kicker]
Wyatt Ramirez
They've been talking about this for at least a decade, before people were offended by he or she. It's a good change because it reduces text.
Kayden Johnson
lol. The pastebin's name for it, "Blackbane", is much better.
Daniel Hughes
>DEBT is too complicated for nu-mtg
Connor Reed
There is if you have a wizard on the field.
Andrew Reed
>Jaya Ballard
Evan Lewis
Nope, they're bringing Kicker back.
Yep. See
Juan Brown
Regeneration is too complex for nu-MtG. Hell, we're reaching the point where TRAMPLE is considered too complex.
I'm becoming increasingly aware that the game I love died years ago and these "new" sets are just corpse gasses released by that fat maggot MaRo wriggling inside the body to see what else he can rot.
Brayden Cruz
>EDH faggotry, the set They gave up didn't they
Xavier Ramirez
I would prefer it if it were evergreen, but it's just the first of many competing standards and isn't narrow enough to justify bringing it back after 8 years, it was gone for a reason and its return is confusing and frustrating.
David Gomez
>Veeky Forums doesn't know the difference between complexity and intuitiveness
Kevin Rivera
Looks like he did. Guy's a moron then.
Parker Lee

i thought they were dropping this jacetice league crap
Lincoln Fisher
I'm pretty sure half of Veeky Forums doesn't know how regeneration works.
Colton Hill
edh is magic now buddy :^)
Nathaniel Ortiz
No, they're just not putting them all in the same set at the same time.
Anthony Green
>getting worked up over Kicker
Alexander Rivera
>Teferi was going around gathering Planeswalker allies in Time Spiral before Jace and pals were even printed >Zhalfir's phased out permanently
Jayden Wood
So what, are they going to make him UW so he doesn't overlap with Jace, since MaRo has absolutely no idea what color identity is and thinks it's comparable to D&D alignments?
Connor Davis
>pay regen cost >"bubble" is put on creature >can put as many bubbles as able >when it's supposed to die, instead it gets removed from combat and tapped. The bubble is removed. I didn't play when regen was big but I really liked it, even though I just opened boosters as a kid.
Teferi's Moat was UW, he did become that later on in life I think, unless I'm forgetting things. Then again you are right about the latter, although that color guide for the DnD book was written by someone who had no experience with Magic flavor I think.
Nicholas Cox
Teferi is black.
Adrian Reyes
If those leaked cards are real im not touching this set lmao what shit cards
Alexander Sullivan
Oldwalkers (and many mortal mages) were skilled in all five colors, and merely had a preference for one color or another. You'll see cards featuring planeswalkers outside of their typical associated colors all the time, representing whatever act or mood took them at the time. It's part of why they never printed "Planeswalker" cards, because giving a being like an Oldwalker a color identity would be ridiculous.
But the marketing team smelled ungrabbed cash so we got "the mending" and it's been downhill ever since.
Robert Harris
They are real. A translated list is on WotCs site.
Wyatt Ortiz
Actually, it was written by someone who has been writing lore for MtG for roughly three years now and was previously a writer for D&D. Technically, there's no one more qualified to link colors to alignments than him.
Ryder Clark
>Planeswalkers never had a color identity Why do so many people on this board insist on talking right out of their asses?
Matthew Scott
Teferi, Hero of Dominaria 3WU Legendary Planeswalker — Teferi 4 +1: Draw a card. At the beginning of the next end step, untap two lands. −3: Put target nonland permanent into its owner's library third from the top. −8: You get an emblem with "Whenever you draw a card, exile target permanent an opponent controls."
The answer to your question is 'yes.' At least we got Jaya as a mono-red utility planeswalker.
Tyler Anderson
Because they can, really.
Brandon Reyes
Trample was considered too complex at least as far back as 7th edition and was removed from the core set. This is nothing new.
Eli Cruz
This is a rough translation, right? It's actaully "[quality] Hexproof" right? Or at the very least Hexproof TO [quality]?
Literally download the fucking document and read it, you mongol.
Dominic Phillips
>muldrotha is fucking awesome >damping sphere is a great sideboard/edh stax card >new teferi is decent/good >new jaya is decent >new mox is worthless >new karn is worthless >new jhoira is worthless >new dawnbringer is worthless >new sisay is worthless >new umezawa is worthless >new bladewing is worthless >new counterspell and bolt are worthless >new squee is squee >no legendary sorcery or saga struck me as all that great, some are even insultingly bad overall ehh set. i'll sleep on it and look through the list again in the morning. kind of funny that most of the cards meant to hit you with nostalgia feels are super underwhelming
Henry Peterson
It is a nightmare that you're such a fucking retard that needs to be spoonfed.
Hunter Clark
If the leak wasn't intentional then they're handling it very well.
Nolan Nguyen
one (actual) bird so far and it's fair. not amazing, basically a worse sun titan. c'mon wizards, my kangee deck needs sick new tech!
Oliver Sanchez
>"Blackbane" it"s a big ability
Landon Moore
That's the exact document I got that information from and I was asking if it is horribly translated, because it sounds like it is horribly translated despite the document having 0 references to being translated.
Blake Brown
It is obviously intentional at this point with how forgiving they are for it.
Samuel Allen
I'm more upset that he's a walker again. It's Barry Allen all over again.
Brayden Wood
Mox Amber is 100% going in my Sisay EDH.
Robert Wilson
It's not horribly translated, release notes are made in English first, then translated. Why would it make sense for release notes to be made in Chink first?
Logan Roberts
Why would you wonder if it was horribly translated when there's zero references to it being horribly translated if it comes from a company which uses English as its primary language and has no reason to translate it into English, let alone translate it horribly into English?
Next time just say "this is dumb" and avoid looking like a moron. Of course it's not fucking translated.
Sure, but it's more that reviving him made his sacrifice mean nothing.
Angel Martin
>worse sun titan >triggers multiple times a turn potentially for 0 mana each and can even happen on other turns >has infinite combos It's alright.

Logan Ross
Do you need to bring up your internet idol every thirty posts?
Caleb Butler
>For some reason, I am incapable of reading the word 'noncombat.' I literally just interpret that word as empty space.
Bentley Barnes
WotC aren't scared of Counterspell in Standard. They're scared of Counterspell in Modern.
Grayson Hill
i don't see why. why would you fetch up a rampant growth when you could fetch a good creature/utility land/literally anything else imo, what makes a mox great is its effect on the VERY early game, ie turns 1-2, 3 at the very latest seems to me that by the time mox amber is doing its thing, it isn't doing anything special anyway
Evan Bennett
>Magic has adopted "they" as the preferred third-person-singular pronoun for a player, replacing "he or she."
Charles Brown
I'm asking because "Hexproof from white" is not fucking English.
It's not your fault, don't reply to this post. I know it's no surprise here that wizards is out of control. Best of luck to all of us, thank you.
Christopher Mitchell
They don't even think about Modern.
Alexander Foster
no sphinx reeee
Hunter James
I have legendary lands. I wouldn't tutor it, it's just that I can usually have it online by turn 2.
Dominic Sullivan
?
Dominic Edwards
Am pretty stoked for the new set, the leaks all look great
Andrew Morris
>Previously, you could redirect noncombat damage that a source you control would deal to an opponent, having that source instead deal that damage to one of their planeswalkers. With the release of the Dominaria set, this rule is being removed from the game. A large number of cards that dealt a certain amount of damage to "target player" are receiving errata using the following guidelines: >Previously, you could redirect noncombat damage that a source you control would deal to an opponent, having that source instead deal that damage to one of their planeswalkers. >Previously, you could redirect noncombat damage that a source you control would deal to an opponent, >Previously, you could redirect noncombat damage >you could redirect noncombat damage >redirect noncombat damage >noncombat damage >noncombat damage >noncombat damage
The rule literally changes nothing but a few instances of wording.
