Im assuming youve all seen this, but ill post it anyway!

From the Vault: Realms

Most planes of existence have their own wondrous places. But only Planeswalkers can travel to lands beyond their own and call on their mana from across the Ęther. You have seen dozens of realms, and those of your kind have told you of dozens more. Your bonds to these lands are the root of your power.



Contents and Details


  • 15 Premium foil cards, including 7 with new art.
  • An exclusive spindown life counter
  • A collector's guide.
  • Each card has been printed using a foil process unique to the From the Vault series.
  • The 15 lands are all printed in the current card frame. For some, it is for the first time.
  • From the Vault: Realms will be available world-wide in English only, and will have an extremely limited print run.
  • All cards are black bordered and tournament legal. This means that these cards are legal for use in any tournaments where the original printings are still legal.

The showcase card is glacial chasm!

Yeah, they said that they were trying to make it really good to make up for legends! Im guessing the money card this time will be 1-3 out of wasteland, mutavault, ancient tomb, karakas, maze of ith, urborg, tomb of yawgmoth, or rishadan port! Looking forward to this one!

The preview card will probably from the enemy-colored ability land cycle that they said they would finish in AVR! The colors that they have yet to do are WR, UR, and GU, so its likely that it will be one of those!

It wouldn't be one of the 3 Avacyn Restored lands. AVR comes out in May, whereas FTV: Realms comes out in August.

I'm guessing that one of the cards will be a new card from the next expansion "Hook" just like Hellkite Overlord (FTV: Dragons and Shards of Alara), Sword of Body and Mind (in FTV: Relics and Scars of Mirrodin) and Mikaeus, the Lunarch (FTV: Legends and Innistrad).

So since this FTV has to do with lands, could "Hook" be a return to Zendikar?

Karakas isnt banned in any format except commander, and its not on the reserved list, so im not sure what youre talking about!

i know it's cool and not on the reserved list, i'm just saying that in my opinion it's not worth reprinting.

i just want cool lands to run in my edh decks.

Its got some value though, and its played a lot in legacy! Wiz said that they were slightly gearing this towards edh players because legends sucked so much!

competitive legacy is way out of my price range, so if a card is banned in edh i just live without it.

Some non-Modern cards I wouldn't mind seeing:
- Ghost Town (landfall goodness)
- Ancient Tomb
- High Market (awesome art)
- Kor Haven
- Thran Quarry
- Faerie Conclave (awesome art)
- Crystal Quarry
- Deserted Temple

Most legacy decks cost about as much as standard! High tide, burn, and dredge cost less than standard! (Unless youre playing led dredge or using candelabras in high tide!)

i would give it a try, but my playgroup mostly plays edh.

i might end up keeping werewolf standard after innistrad goes out though.

My main playgroup plays edh almost exclusively, but theres somewhere else i go occasionally where a lot of people play legacy!

I would do anything to get that set if Tolarian Academy is printed in it.

I don't care if it's banned! It's still a great card to have.

Tolarian is reserved!

Theyre really not that hard to get, turbine! Theyre only legal in vintage where theyre restricted, so theyre only about $25! Cradle is legal in more formats so its closer to $70!

Its not nearly as broken as academy because its not nearly as easy to abuse and its in a color where there arent as many ways to abuse it!

I feel like Tolarian would get a cooler new art.

That's not true! The new art usually looks cool, and the cards are all shiny.

the old art for academy wasn't near as epic as it should have been.

Some of the older FTVs had cool art upgrades, but Legends was pretty bad. Rafiq of the Many, Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir and Kresh, the Bloodbraided already had some of the most awesome art in MTG, and the new artworks were all hohum in comparison. Same goes for Progenitus.

That being said, Channel, Goblin Lackey and Strip Mine have some cool FTV art. I also love the new Goblin Lackey flavour text. Hooray for diplomacy helmets!
