Tournament Report: Alara Reborn (Pre)Release

Hey guys. Just to keep back on track on updates, I decided to share with you my experience on our local Alara Reborn Prerelease last Saturday. You might be asking why its a prerelease since the scheduled date was April 25. Its because the product shipment was held by the Bureau of Customs. I didn’t knew the real reason (and too pissed to find out) why they did that but that really forced the local retailers to change the schedule a week later. Of course, a lot of players were disappointed of that delay but government crap can’t stop Magic players who enjoyed last weekend. I’m sure most of you too as this was also the schedule for the Release events. Read more

Full Alara Reborn Spoiler Is Out

(Its been weeks since my last post. I’m very busy lately. I hope this prerelease weekend will help me relax.)

The Shards At War

Hey y’all. Here are a few art depicting the effects of the Alara shard’s convergence. The first one depicts Elspeth (I think) getting some blessing to continue fighting with a Bant kingdom burning in the background. This is also the art of the first card in the Alara Reborn set, Ardent Plea.

The next one is a group of Viashinos that is about to devour a smaller of their kind. Probably a 1/1. Lol. Read more
