The new Frostmage vs. Lavemancer announcement gives us our first real look at what's coming—and it gives us a LOT to speculate about.
Zac and Phil break down the new Frostmage and Lavemancer cards, including Frostmage, Shatter, Arya Wraith, White Death, and Lavemancer itself. We also look at the new packaging, the 60-card spellbooks, 30-card atlases, the number of new cards, and how the unique cards will be distributed.
Then things get speculative.
What do the other element combinations look like? Could we eventually see Steam, Smoke, Dust, or other dual-element avatars? What mechanics might those avatars care about? And could the new set actually breathe life into older cards by giving previously overlooked mechanics a new home?
Phil also makes a bold prediction for the next avatar, while Zac predicts that Steam will finally get its own Omphalos.
We also talk about:
Frostmage's disabled mechanic
Lavemancer and rubble
Arya Wraith's artifact destruction
White Death's insane range
The future of dual-element avatars
What the new set means for the metagame
Why the delayed release might actually be good for Sorcery
Distribution and Q4 shipping concerns
Foils and the Dustial Wars program
What cards we desperately want in the next set
And most importantly:
Sorcery isn't going anywhere.
The new set has a release window, there's more information coming, and there's still a ton of room left to explore in the current card pool.
