Baltimore Summit - Game News

Wizards of the Coast:

Lorwyn is the next set for Magic: The Gathering, and it will be a 2-set block. There will be a tribal theme to this set, like Onslaught. There will also be 3 brand new game mechanics introduced with this set. In addition, a new card type will be introduced: Planeswalkers. And, a cool thing, 5 different theme decks instead of the usual 4. Releasing 10/12

The folks at WOC are also making Magic: The Gathering duel deck sets. These are going to be limited edition and consist of 2 – 60 card pre-constructed decks with 4 rares per deck. And did I mention, they’ll be limited edition. They’ll be coming out 11/16, which will make them a GREAT holiday gift.

sorry - I had some photos of the Magic stuff, but they got deleted somehow.

Wizkids:

There will be a Heroes Heroclix set. Say that five times, fast. I’m thinking it’s going to be one of those group sets they’ve made, rather than a set in packs, but I’m not 100% on that.

The next DC Heroclix set will be called, “Crisis” and the booster boxes will feature the art of J.G. Jones.



They will also be making a large piece of the Anti-Monitor.
