I have to say, the more I see of the Beasties the more I love them. They have the feel of a creepier "Where the Wild Things Are" monster

MTGZone.com for all things Magic the Gathering

[email protected] is the main one but [email protected] is hopping with Duskmourn reveals right now

Edit: also [email protected] if you just want to see some pretty pictures

Played this years ago but couldn't quite get into it. Maybe I should try it again to see if it clicks

Black and White is free but color TV costs extra

Also one more thing I noticed about the art, he has very "normal guy in robes" kinda feel to him. Sort of fits the modern horror vibe where the most terrifying people can look entirely inconspicuous on the outside

Yeah, love that they were willing to get more artsy for a non-variant card. At first glance I thought it was the triumphant return of Carly Mazur but Jeremy Wilson is equally fantastic

I love that it has its own Wikipedia article

These are the kind of cards that really bug me in the set.

1. They make no sense in terms of lore, the House has taken over the plane for so long people no longer remember what basic things like "city" or "dawn" are so why do they act like high school was last week. Even if you assume they're someone from another plane why are they dressed like everyone else?
2. It's overly goofy in the face of the overwhelming terror and lethality of the House. Why would someone who grew up inside the House not treat it like the threat it is? How is someone who wandered into the House still alive if they're so nonchalant about danger?
3. The design lacks any good fantasy, it's literally just a generic cheerleader outfit. The story had survivors scavenging clothes and making them out of wallpaper, had they kept some of the 80's style but made the clothing look more makeshift It'd have been way better
4. Edit: Oh yeah, the name doesn't make sense in-universe either. Duskmourn residents would have no concept of a cheerleader and wouldn't refer to someone who wandered in that way either. "Acrobatic Survivor" would have worked much better lorewise and putting her in something like a Strixhaven cheer uniform would still hit the trope without having to put a neon sign on it

Is this the best Red Leyline we've ever gotten?

Also really hoping this ends up being too much of a brick in Standard Gruul Prowess, because man is that deck already fast enough

I love that even the friendly monsters in this House look terrifying

Absolutely! Only thing I'm not crazy about is the art design of the survivors and their tech. But everything else is top notch

So sophisticated. So adorable
