Today Wizards of the Coast spoiled some more of the Reality Fracture set! Let's get into some things that stood out!
The first thing that stood out was the "Empower Jace" mechanic. With this mechanic you create a Jace Planeswalker token which both surveils and draws cards, then add loyalty counters to it. For example, similar to the
amass keyword, if a card has Empower 2, you would create a Jace token with two loyalty counters on it or put two on an existing one. This is interesting as it's the first time we've been able to make a planeswalker token, and it seems as though Planeswalkers are heavily featured throught the set. I'm curious to see how newer players handle it, as the card type can be one of the more difficult aspects to wrap your head around when starting.
There were a few new cards that stood out to me, and keeping with the theme of Planeswalkers, we have a new tutor! "Loyal Tutor", is a one-drop instant that finds any planeswalker and puts it on top of your library. "The Theorist, Jace Beleren" also looks to be a powerhouse in the set. You get a draw at the beginning of each opponent's draw step for only 4 mana. And lastly, we have two new Ghalta's! We have white Ghalta, which, allowes defenders to attack, and flips their toughness and power. And then we have an 8/8 green ghalta, which is very similar to Ghalta Primal Hunger but also gives other creatures trample.
Those were the big takeaways from some of the spoilers shown so far! Reality Fracture releases for WPN stores (like us) on September 25th. Pre-orders will be available at gamebridge.ca in the upcoming days/weeks!
