One example is Evolving Wilds, a Magic staple. What’s really interesting are some of the alternate land cards. The Basic lands all have some art or text reference to Faerûn, even if it’s not obvious at first glance. Give me land, lots of landĪnother way to capture the flavor of the Forgotten Realms is with lands. A Wizards spokesperson on the call said we’d have to wait and see on that. I asked if the Dungeons had special loot attached to them, such as a Sphere of Annihilation for the Tomb of Annihilation. “Venture is a strong theme across all rarities, so there’s lots of opportunity for players to experience the thrill of exploring Dungeons.” “There are a variety of cards that interact with Venture in interesting ways, including all the way down to Common with things like Shortcut Seeker, hitting that classic trope of ‘look, there’s a trapdoor under the rug,'” Wyatt said. The Magic team is using its existing combination of creatures, artifacts, and spells to take advantage of these Dungeons. “You need seven Ventures to get all the way through, but you have lots of choices to make as you go along the way.”ĭungeons are a neat way to capture the flavor of D&D within Magic. Undermountain has been a mainstay of the Realms since The Ruins of Undermountain boxed set in 1991 since then, TSR or Wizards of the Coast has published several campaign sets, adventures, game books, and even a board game about these halls.
“If you choose Dungeon of the Mad Mage, you’re really in this dungeon for a long time exploring the holes of Undermountain,” Wyatt said. Halaster’s dungeon gives you more choices, but it takes longer to get through it (as befits the numerous levels of Undermountain). I also find adding this dungeon interesting because Acererak was a card in Spellfire, which was D&D‘s failed answer to Magic back in the 1990s. The Tomb of Annihilation has you sacrificing cards, artifacts, and life to gain a horrific benefit (which fits the theme of the lich Acererak’s deathtrap).
You choose which one you want to delve into and which path you take. When you Venture, you could either go deeper into one or begin exploring another. You can have one, two, or all three active at once. And every time you Venture, then you can move down a level - farther into the Dungeon - by one room,” Wyatt said in a video briefing.Įach player has their own Dungeons, so they could be exploring the Lost Mine of Phandelver at the same time (so, two people could be doing so in a 1-on-1 game, or three of four players could be in a Commander match). “Whenever you have a card that tells you to Venture into the Dungeon, what you do is you pick one of these Dungeons, and you put a marker at the very top room.
