MTG - Top Predictions For Dominaria, Magic: The Gathering's Make or Break Set

My biggest Magic: The Gathering prediction is this great new game they are releasing! For the VCR! Check out Wizards of the Coast using this hot new technology to its fullest here: https://youtu.be/RkGr9Q-yDHw Tolarian Community College is brought to you by Card Kingdom!

There’s a lot riding on Dominaria, and I strongly believe this one set is make or break for a game that has seen better years. I too went into this prediction video at a crossroad: do i present my pessimistic predictions or my optimistic ones? Do I have faith in the future or see more disappointment on the horizon. I chose hope. I believe Wizards of the Coast knows just how much is riding on this one set, and I see the shape of the game to come as a result. Presented here are my predictions for the new set and in some ways new philosophy of both Dominaria and Magic The Gathering.

I'll also reiterate my predictions: -Nicol Bolas wants the Mox Beacon. -Nicol Bolas created the original metal plane that became Phyrexia. -Nicol Bolas needs those powers to fight the prime Eldrazi. -Nicol Bolas isn't a dragon, but a mage so powerful that he became a dragon. Specifics: -Nicol Bolas wants his pre-mending powers. The item most capable of helping him do this would be the Mox Beacon. The Mox Emerald and Pearl were destroyed, but the Mox Beacon is a leyline of Grixis energy in object form, created by merging the Mox Jet, Ruby, and Sapphire. It hasn't been mentioned since it was used to track down planeswalkers for revenge. This would allow Bolas to manifest on any plane without sending a whole group of envoys there. Just send the Beacon there, and any plane has a Grixis leyline. The beacon is also a source of immense Grixis-aligned mana. -Nicol Bolas created the original metal plane that Yawgmoth turned into Phyrexia. Officially, the planeswalker that created it was a great evil being that took the form of a dragon. This person was supposedly killed a month before Yawgmoth invaded. I think Bolas created the plane, was going to abandon it, and instead found a use for it in Phyrexia, but then Phyrexia got out of hand. -Nicol Bolas wants to rule everything. As a super-intelligent being, he would definitely know that the Eldrazi prime is a threat. And if the Eldrazi destroy everything, he won't be able to rule it. Nicol Bolas can't defeat something that makes Emrakul look like a thumb. He might barely manage if he is uber-powerful like before. -Nicol bolas has himself mentioned that he likes to play dragon. This could very well mean that he liked to give into his primal instincts sometimes. But it could also be another layer of deception and fearmongering. It think that Nicol Bolas could be a non-dragon, but instead just manifests that way to scare people and seem powerful and wise.

Chandra Nalaar- Jaya Ballard (Fire mage, same goggles, different color hair) Nissa Revane - Freyalise (Green mage who has stints with a second color) Jace Beleren- Bo Levar (Blue mage who becomes a pirate) Elspeth - Serra (Super benevolent white mage who people put their hope in for some reason) Liliana - Liliana (Black mage then, black mage now) Tamiyo - Teferi (Investigative blue mage with connections to time) Ajani Goldmane - Windgrace (Honorable cat warrior mage in GW/r) Saheeli Rai - Urza (Izzet artificer mage in way over their head) Tezzeret - Mishra (Blue artificer mage, now Dimir artificer mage. Tempted by bad guy) Dovin Baan - Venser (Azorious artificer mage) Koth - Embereck (Typical "Red should be rough and tough" mage) Angrath - Sandruu (Token minotaur mage) Jeska - Sarkhan Vol (Misunderstood shamanistic red mage who takes a stint through all colors) Tevesh Szat or Yawgmoth - Nicol Bolas (Big bad) Other notes: -The Predator was a supership used by the bad guys to fight against The Weatherlight, a good guy supership. The Skysovereign was a supership used by the bad guys as a contrast to the Heart of Kiran, a supership used by the good guys. -Artificial Angel created by a planeswalker to serve a significant purpose on a plane. Created her own church and went mad. Legendary creature that costs 5WWW, has an alternate card with an angry flip side in red, and whose weapon is it's own powerful card. Has a powerful contrast card that's a mono black legendary creature and archenemy. This describes Akroma and Avacyn. -Liliana can fill the role of Tevesh Szat, and some of the other roles have alternatives. I also haven't found a good role for Sorin (He's the best so he has to be there, right?) and there doesn't seem to be a Robot or Robot-like character to fill Karn's role, so maybe Karn just fills that role again. Personally, I'd like to see Jhoira return instead of Saheeli, but I think she'd fall into the role of Teferi more, so maybe her instead of Tamiyo.

Reprints that dodge the reserve list, but fix cards that were slightly overpowered, would help the game. The classic dual lands were strictly better than basics in all but land ramp/tutor effects, so WoTC hobbled new versions, with a variety of ways to avoid the ETB-tapped rules. If the classic duals were limited to one copy in play or one copy per deck (legendary or restricted), they'd be fine, balance-wise. If a new version is printed, it errata-corrects old versions, so they can bring classic dual lands back, with updated art (the MtGO version is better, in all but nostalgia) and the modern card frame (which is more consistently legible, which not only helps those with low vision, it also makes the cards more machine-readable which I think will become relevant). Cards that are too weak to fulfill their intended role can be be fixed too. WoTC can then turn Vintage into the "cards as written" format which doesn't use reprint-errata, and merge Legacy into Modern by reprinting fixed cards, which would help to unify the playerbase recovering from its more fractured & segregated state now. The new player path becomes; Buy a legitimately viable but not overly-complex starter deck to play in 'Current' (standard), then customize it with boosters & trading, then when cards rotate out of Current, they go into the 'Eternal' (Modern plus updated Legacy) format, where decks are built to play in a wider and wilder meta. Draft formats fit under Vintage rules, since "cards as written" is simpler and fair in the 'equal chance to be lucky' sense. Getting fixable cards off the reserve list is player-focused. - 'Museum' collectors who actually want a collection to display will still want the old cards. - The only groups negatively impacted are the "investment" speculators looking to gouge people, and the "proxy" printers in China, who are getting better all the time at filling a demand that WoTC won't. Wizards needs to commit to putting players first, which leaves collectors neutral, and tells the leeches to GTFO.
