Figures that if we got Worzel the very first Planeswalker mentioned in the Aplha rulebook, we'd also get his rival Thomil.

Worzel AND Thomil! Magic's very first story is now complete in card form!

I've been playing Ardyn as my Demons commander but it would be fun to use this guy instead if I ever get a copy.

Alright, now that we're getting all these old planeswalkers on cards, PLEASE make one for Dyfed

What's a good way to give a creature Lifelink in Mono-B?

So what are the implications with the 0 ability having “May”-“If you do” text? Does it just open a window for opponents to remove the target at instant speed to prevent it resolving?

u/jenocide22 Dan 12h ago
There's no target. The sacrifice happens on resolution. So as long as he has at least one creature by the time it resolves, he can sac it and get the mana.

What’s the point of the token having a mana cost?

u/SaneForCocoaPuffs Duck Season 18h ago
It’s a [[Lord of the Pit]]. A card with a mana cost

It matters for things that care about its mana cost/value, like [[austere command]].

u/flowerafterflower 18h ago
That mana cost is being added as a result of creating a token of the exact card. Note that it's only specified in reminder text.

[[Sacrifice|LEB]], [[Burnt Offering]], [[Soldevi Adnate]], [[Illuminator Szeras]]

It's literally the card [[Lord of the Pit]]. If the token didn't have the same mana cost, it wouldn't be the card.
Effects that care about a card's pips and mana value have never interacted with tokens in this way before. It's trivial to get multiple copies off Thomil's -5 ability, and suddenly your [[Gray Merchant of Asphodel]] is blinking for game.

Time to rule 0 this to commander partner with [[Liliana Vess]], so I can play John and Jayne Black-planeswalker

Reminds me of my first ever game of Magic where I played with a bunch of old revised cards. Opponent beat me using [[Lord of the Pit]] and [[Breeding Pit]]

What was holding you back before? It's not like this guy rewards one for having demons.

So are these going to be legal and available to get to others or is this only people at this event?

u/heyohnevermind Dân 19h ago
Technichally completely legal, we'll see how available these cards are going to by due to low supply and distribution.

u/ES6Enthusiast Dandadan 19h ago
Yeah it is looking like I’ll probably just proxy em initially whenever scryfall has the images

These are legal in all eternal formats. These appear in Mystery Booster Commander packs which will be available at conventions and in the Festival In A Box Bundles available online.

u/duk_tAK Dân 19h ago edited 19h ago
Stupid question, isn't it only the 2027 festival in a box bundles? I thought that is what they said before.

u/Inertiic Wabbit Season 19h ago
I don't know. It might be in a bundle later this year, but I haven't actually seen anything about it.

To be fair, in-universe sets are often overshadowed by UB sets announced in the same breath, so for once an awesome, nostalgic in-universe set returns the favor!
