- 261 New Cards
- 14 New Vanguards
- 23 New Full Art Cards
- 4 New Mechanics
- 6 New Events
- 3 New Planeswalkers
New Mechanics:
Equip
-
- Exclusive from Equipment Cards (ZNR only), the Equip ability makes the card with this icon evergreen to gain mana, while on hand, whenever a creature controlled by that player attacks.
The hint reads: “Whenever a creature you control attacks, if this card is in your hand, this card gains the specified amount of mana.”
Landforming
-
- Landforming is both an icon evergreen and a keyword. The icon’s hint reads:“You gain Landforming until the end of turn whenever you make a horizontal match with a swap.”
-
- The keyword’s hint reads: “This card has an additional* effect if you cast it after making a horizontal match with a swap.”
Party
-
- Party is an adapted keyword condition which requires having multiple subtypes in the board and/or the battlefield (Cleric, Rogue, Warrior and Wizard). Party reads:“Your Party consists of up to one each of Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, and Wizard.”
-
- Party may create an effect depending on how many cards with different subtypes, among the aforementioned, are in your party, or if the player’s Party is full.
Wizardry
- Similar to the Magic:PQ version of Prowess in behavior, but works only when Spells or Wizard cards are cast. It can have a variety of benefits, instead of only giving +N/+N to the creature with the keyword.
- The Wizardry Ability hint reads: “This ability triggers whenever you cast a spell or a Wizard card.”
Reworked Mechanic:
Kicker
- Now the ability has an icon and a proper hint. It also gained a new behavior, which is to give players the option of draining mana from their hands, instead of automatically draining without a confirmation prompt.
- Kicker hint reads:“When you cast a card or activate an ability with Kicker, you may drain additional mana from your hand to trigger its Kicker effect.”
