Interesting to have a commander that promotes lands with sacrifice abilities. At first I thought it was odd that we were getting a Magic card based on a literary character, but it seems Titania is a legitimate Magic character.
Last year's was pretty lame, but the previous year had given us Scavenging Ooze, first reprint of sol rings in forever, and sweet new commanders with wedge colors which some Wedges didn't have any outside of the dragons. Also last year had true name nemesis.

Commander by its nature is a casual format (or at least trying to make a tournament out of it would be a nightmare), so yeah, these are just for casual players. Some cards do end up seeing Legacy and Vintage play, though, but they aren't legal in any other tournament format.
They'll be available at retail, I'd wait for the spoiler to finish to see if there's anything you're after or just nab all 5 on eBay for cheaper than msrp.

I like this idea! But, I'd really rather they just do away with the dedicated promo / ad cards. Why is it not not always a token / emblem / game-object? It bugs me EVERY time I open a pack and it's not a token / thing, I can't help it. It just feels gross. Like, they are already printing shit on there... Fucking baffles me, lol, sorry.

Arcane Lighthouse seems dumb to me in the same way Bojuka Bog is dumb. When you cost something at 'super cheap and stapled to a land' it kind of limits it's future design potential.

This particular effect is only worth it when stapled to a land. Otherwise it's either not worth the deck space, or too temporary to be useful.

Tormod's Crypt was originally from The Dark, so the bat for exiling graveyards was never really that high. I think its fine in the '"cantrip" class of effects.

I guess there was a Germ token spoiled? I just want a couple of cheap Batterskulls. This is not based in reality...lol
It's the GP promo, why would they put it in here?

So what's the best way to get my hands on all of these? Do I preorder online? From E-Bay? Do I just troll Target daily and grab them there?
I usually don't pick these sorts of things up, but this year's iteration looks really sweet.

I like that it's trigger only triggers if played. No Deadeye Navigator shenanigans here.
Even if there is a "Mind Seize" in this batch, going to Target or Walmart is your best bet to get all of these
I use iMTG, and it's a piece of crap compared to MTG Familiar. Nothing as good on iOS as far as I know
They mentioned it was "alerts raised due to our ordering processing software which has sensitive allowances". I'm not exactly surprised because my account was new and I bought 500 tix in one go in less than 12 hours from its creation so that must have raised some kind of fraudulent red flags in their system. I'm just not happy at the length of time it took to restore my account. Granted they restored it on the first business day but the helpline was open on Sunday and could not help me at all which kind of defeats the purpose of it.
Anyway, do add me, my account name is ElyrionX. Would be fun to get some games together. Anyone else who plays on MTGO, please add me too. I am in the midst of constructing my Modern deck right now.

Yeah I tried it as well and it's really not great. Decked Builder has a far better UI and since that's the one I use on my iPad as well, I double dipped on it for my iPhone. But it seems really limited. Like, it doesn't even allow you to pull out card rulings.

You bastards lol this is going to bottom out the price on Wurmcoil for now I guess. Good for people that don't have them
Edit: fixed lol

Amusing how there wasn't enough room on the type line to include "Legendary", so they had to put it in the description.
And what the heck, OnPoint, how did you screw up the image tags in a quote?

Why can't they just make double wide type lines....

Fingers crossed that Wurmcoil is in the red deck. Plays nicely with Feldon.

Huh I guess not a lot of people played the pre-release? I've had one for ages, didn't know it was valuable
It was before I got back in with New Phyrexia, but I picked up my copies cheap when they were standard.
Would be wild if the red deck had Sneak Attack. Seems to have a lot of that theme. They probably don't want to put a 60 dollar card in here though. Though then the blue deck could have Cryptic and the other decks could have *exciting reprints here* to get them all on the same level.
Cryptic dipped a lot lower after the MM reprint.

BTW, apparently the white deck is going to be called "Forged in Stone", so the white planeswalker is definitely going to be Nahiri, the Lithomancer.
The fact that we're getting a card for her now lends credence to my dumb theory that we're going to get an evil Eldrazi-corrupted version of her later.

Stoneforge Mystic and Batterskull reprints confirmed.

You're probably right, but I'm still holding out hope that the white walker is Serra.
Red will most certainly be the joke deck. I mean it has Tuktuk as a replacement general. Add Norin and Tibalt for more hilarity.
I'm inclined to agree that "Forged in Stone" = Nahiri card but I thought they said they would only use characters in this product that weren't going to be used anytime soon in Standard legal products. They are clearly building the storyline in a direction that would hypothetically involve her. I guess we are to assume she's dead in the modern timeline?

I don't believe they've said any such thing. Besides, Ob Nixilis will probably appear again in Return to Zendikar, which will probably be the next block.

Interesting to see new morph cards in the Commander set.
