Fate Reforged is the 66th Magic expansion, and the second in the Khans of Tarkir block. It will be released on January 23, 2015.[1] Fate Reforged is a small expansion.
Set details
Fate Reforged was announced at the Wizards of the Coast panel at PAX Prime on August 31, 2014. [2] It contains 185 cards and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. This small set is designed to be drafted with both large sets of the block, but the large sets are never drafted together. Fate Reforged draft is one pack of Fate Reforged and than two packs of Khans of Tarkir. [3]. The expansion symbol of the set is a stylized representation of two opposing planes or realities.
Because the clans of Fate Reforged are less defined, the set does not contain three-color gold cards. The color identity of the cards is instead marked by the use of hybrid ability Activation costs (for example a Temur card with green mana cost, and blue/red hybrid ability cost). This allows for these cards to be played in two-color decks (in this example either green/blue or green/red).
Storyline
Sarkhan Vol travels 1000 years back in time, to change the moment that sealed Tarkir's fate: the battle between Nicol Bolas and Ugin, the demise of the latter and all dragons of Tarkir (Crux of Fate). The clans still exist back in the time; they are not fighting each other but are constantly fending off the legion hordes of dragons that are terrorizing their world. Sarkhan meets khans of the past, like Yasova Dragonclaw. [4] The history of Tarkir is rewritten.
Marketing
Fate Reforged will be sold in 16-card boosters (the 16th card being a marketing card), five intro packs, a clash pack and a fat pack.
Prerelease
At the Fate Reforged prerelease, you choose your clan. you can get a special "Ugin's Fate" booster pack containing two alternate art cards that show how the world has changed in the new timeline, a token and a land card. There's a pool of 40 alternate art cards with a holo foil stamp (mainly from Khans of Tarkir, a few from Fate Reforged, one mythic), the main change in the art being that there are dragons now. While the players complete achievements, they get to "Heal Ugin" and "Gain a glimpse of the future".
