Here's the full Magic panel from SDCC. We'll be breaking down the video as we watch it in the thread below. ⬇️ #MTG #SDCC

FYI, "The List" that leaked is not the Reserve List. It's a slot in a new product that draws from a rotating list of 300 cards from Magic's history.

That's at the end of the video, though, so we'll get there in time.

One of the main goals of Zendikar Rising is to recapture the original Zendikar block as an "adventure plane."

It' is a land-focused set, with full-art basics and a new set of six dual lands. (No previews today, though.)

There's a brand new mechanic in the set that takes a popular theme and "Zendikar'd it up." It's a theme we've seen before but done in a new way, a mix of new and old.

There are also two returning mechanics from previous Zendikar sets.

A bunch of Zendikar legendary creatures return, and one will get a new color.

There will be three planeswalkers, all of which we know and already have had at least three cards.

Here is new art from Zendikar Rising (no artist credits or associated cards)

Here is more new art from Zendikar Rising (no artist credits or associated cards)

Here are two final new pieces of art from Zendikar Rising. (No artist credits or associated cards.)

Zendikar Rising will be accompanied by a new product, a "Set Booster." #MTG #SDCC

This is additive to the game—draft, collector, theme boosters will remain.

Here is the official article about Set Boosters. #MTG #SDCC

TL;DR: It is a pack for players that want to open packs without draft chaff.

The Set Booster will contain #MTG #SDCC

- 1 art card slot
- 1 land slot
- "Connected commons and uncommons"
- 1 "head turner"
- 2 wildcard rarity slots
- 1 rare/mythic
- 1 foil
- 1 token/ad

The art card slot is the return of the Modern Horizons art card #MTG #SDCC

The land slot will focus on lands from the set, and Zendikar Rising's will be full-art. There is a 15% chance for a foil. #MTG #SDCC

Details about the common and uncommon slots in the Set Booster #MTG #SDCC

The head turner slot could be any number of things—a card with flashy art, who knows, but will be common or uncommon. #MTG #SDCC

The wildcard slot has a small chance to upgrade this slot to a rare. #MTG #SDCC

The rare/mythic slot is self-explanatory, but the chances of an upgrade to mythic has increased from 1 in 8 to 1 in 7.4. (This change will also impact draft boosters.) #MTG #SDCC

The foil slot is, again, self-explanatory. #MTG #SDCC

The token/ad has a 25% chance to upgrade to a card from "The List." #MTG #SDCC

The List 300 cards from Magic's past, in their original frames, w/ the Planeswalker symbol a la Mystery Booster.

They won't be Standard-legal and won't be available on Arena.

Wizards estimates that Set Boosters will cost $1 more than normal Draft Boosters, will come in boxes of 30 packs, and will come in English and Japanese. #MTG #SDCC

Here's a preview of the Zendikar Rising packaging, featuring Jace and Nissa, who will be two of the three planeswalkers in the set. #MTG #SDCC

In the "Q&A" section of his presentation, MaRo takes questions from his Funko Planeswalkers.

Answer 1: There won't be any Eldrazi in Zendikar Rising. We'll see the impacts of the Eldrazi but no actual Eldrazi.

Answer 2: All the percentages for all of the Set Booster slots are in his article.

Answer 3: It's unlikely we'll have a set that takes place in the Meditation Realm. (The Bolas Funko asked the question, for the record.)
