MTG devs explain why Wilds of Eldraine\u2019s features Commander Masters reprints The latest MTG set, Wilds of Eldraine, features some incredible reprints in a new \u201cEnchanting Tales\u201d selection. However, we wanted to know why some were included so close to Commander Masters. MTG\u2019s next set, Wilds of Eldraine, is continuing what developer Wizards of the Coast calls \u201cbooster fun\u201d. The concept brings in everything from alternate art on cards to reprints or even serialized cards. It\u2019s been going for a little while now, with its announcement in 2019 leading to things like the Godzilla cards or The One Ring. With Wilds of Eldraine, this will entail what WOTC is calling \u201cEnchanting Tales\u201d. What is Enchanting Tales in MTG? Enchanting Tales is a curated list of classic MTG cards, a little different from any other list. Wizards are including 63 different Enchantment cards \u2013 mainly for Eternal formats like Commander \u2013 all with unique fairytale artwork to match the set\u2019s theme. However, some of the cards that we\u2019ve seen so far have only just appeared in Commander Masters. Common reprints in the game aren\u2019t new, but often times reprints are spread out. This list includes cards like Doubling Season, a high-priced card, and sought-after for shenanigans in Commander games. Before Commander Masters, it had only been reprinted three times. With the surging popularity of the Commander format, it makes sense for Wizards to increase the output and versions of a single card. Though, it would also have to consider the secondary market in ours and the wider player base\u2019s opinion. The card currently goes for a minimum of about $50. Those in the MTGFinance subreddit speculate that the card\u2019s price will begin to crash after the wave of excitement after release. Though, some speculate the new art in the Enchanting Tales will keep its price or higher. Wizards elaborates on Enchanting Tales featuring Commander Master reprints We asked Wizards of the Coast what went into the decision-making behind some of the reprints. We spoke with Mike Turian, the Product Architect for MTG: \u201cWith Commander Masters, we knew we wanted to bring back player favorites of cards that players have been wanting to see return including enchantment cards. \u201cSo cards like Doubling Season, which is a Commander player favorite, was a card that we knew that players who needed more would love to see the Chuck Lukacs art return.\u201d Turian seemed excited about the inclusion of new art for some well known cards from MTG\u2019s history: \u201cGiving our artists the opportunity to bring a whole new style (and a goose hydra!) to cards like Doubling Season was also an opportunity that was too good to pass up.\u201d Though, through the excitement, he did mention that it\u2019s more of getting these cards into more players hands: \u201cIn the end, we made the choice to have a few of the Enchanting Tales cards overlap with Commander Masters selection to both give players the chance to get a classic Magic take on favorite reprints as well as the fun new Enchanting Tales versions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
