A Glimpse Into The Faces Of MTG’s Upcoming Core Set 2019
June 20, 2018 by deltagamegirl22
Anyone that loves Magic The Gathering has to appreciate the thought that goes into constructing the Core Sets.
These Core Sets offer the perfect launch point for new Magic the Gathering players, as well as complexity for the most veteran players.
What you really have to love is the thought that goes into exploring the storylines in the game. Each set classically takes a deep dive into specific elements of the planes or their inhabitants - and the Core Set 2019 is all about Nicol Bolas!
Wizards of the coast went all out to make this Core Set appealing to the fans by offering a great variety of possible deck building. There are 5 mono-colour planeswalkers in the set, offering the lure to keep your deck construction on the simpler side (a brilliant move for new players), and if you wanted to make things more complicated, then look no further than Nicol Bolas in all his multicolour glory!
The legendary creatures offer wonderful complexity to the game for drafting as well as an incredible new list of Commanders for those that prefer that format of MTG.
The latest Core Set is due to hit stores July 13th, with pre-release slated for July 7th and 8th.
What kind of Magic deck will you be constructing with the Core Set 2019?

Interesting enough classic elder dragons are also back with new versions and Nicol Bolas also has new planeswalker version to go alongside his new legendary creature version. I am already looking at which ones from those planeswalker will go to my Atraxa EDH.
When it comes to Planeswalkers, the general rule as to whether they are good or not (outside some broken interaction that got past play testing) is whether they can protect themselves once they come into play. I’m not tremendously impressed with Liliana; I don’t know if I’m missing something with the first two abilities but for 5 mana she seems a pretty poor investment. I’m not really enthralled with Vivian Reid either (the -3 ability seems to combine a bunch of effects you’d maybe have a sideboard cards, but again 5 mana….) The elder dragons seem to demand quite a… Read more »
I have to say, I agree. I love the idea of the elder dragons, but I am not a huge fan of tricolor (or more) decks.
