After a lot of information revealed, we finally got a chance to try the update Magic 2021, which will make its official debut very soon. Needless to say, the news will present themselves both on the classic collectible card game, and obviously on Magic: The Gathering Arena, a video game that goes hand in hand with tradition by offering all the contents of Wizards of the Coast in digital format.
The new format aims above all atwelcoming new players, which in many cases have not lived the glories of the card game in its years of life, and who will now be able to enjoy themselves in the current meta with cards that carry a few years on their shoulders. So let's talk about the many reprints, which in any case accompany really unexpected and pleasant news, seasoned with keywords that you will need to learn in order to interface in the games. As always, iThe game client offers the necessary explanations for any doubts, whether you are in the game or looking out upon completing the numerous tutorials included. There are also many aesthetic variations of the same cards, perhaps a little too many since let's go over the hundred this time, which will in any case make the collections of the players sparkling and impressive. Without getting lost in chatter, let's proceed straight to the point, and then see what are the cornerstones of the new core expansion Magic 2021.
Keywords, Creature Types and Plainswalker
The news starts from the keyword Macina, which is finally given as a proper name to a mechanic that has always accompanied the games of Magic: The Gathering. We are talking about discarding cards from the top of your deck, to try to make your opponents lose resources or to take advantage of mechanics related to your graveyard. Although the term has always been used by the community, the developer has finally decided to make it official. As for the constants of the expansion, we are also dealing with the keywords Prowess, which is present on several cards. For the uninitiated, this is the chance to get a momentary +1 + 1 when casting non-creature spells, which are given to monsters with the aforementioned ability.
The mechanics thicken with the presence of creatures Canid (formerly Segugio) e Felini, which in several cases can unleash interesting combos, or unite under the same roof through certain cards designed to exploit their creature types. The Magic 2021 expansion also opens its doors to many historical plainswalker from the series, which enrich the expansion with regard to each color, offering effects as always consistent with the identity of the same. Apart from the protagonist, Teferi, which this time only overlooks the color blue, the other characters also offer incisive skills and certainly to keep under control. Last, but not least, are the 6 sanctuaries added (1 per color plus one pentacolor), spells that once placed on the field offer increasingly stronger effects, as they are enhanced by the presence of their peers.
Ready for the next expansions after Magic 2021
In short, among the many reprints that evoke the great classics of the card game, together with the various innovations dedicated to the creation of a stable and productive destination for the next expansions, the update is well thought out and implemented, as well as suitable for all players . However, do not misunderstand the importance of medium power level, which turns out to be really high for each color, although each color manages to be incredibly respectful of the traditions of the game. We therefore can't wait to find out how the situation will evolve, discovering over the next few weeks if some archetypes will be particularly performing or if the quality will settle on an average level, thus making the games varied and fun.
