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.
