Themes and mechanics


Where the original Eldraine had a theme for both artifacts and enchantments, this time it trends heavier to the Enchantment themes. Food is also a major theme again, and this time it is a bit more aggressive, seeing multiple legendaries.[7]

Rats and Mice will get multiples cards and tribal support in {R}{B}. Other notable creature types are Nightmares, Faeries, Giants and Satyrs, now pushed as a characteristic creature type for {G} in this set.

Adventures make a return, with adventurers getting new card types beyond creatures. Some of them are multicolor now. 

Sagas will also make up an important part of the set, now based on classic and re-imagined fairy tales. 

Wilds of Eldraine introduces Bargain, a keyword ability that allows you to sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token as you cast the spell for an additional effect. Another new mechanic is Celebration, an ability word for abilities that trigger if two or more nonland permanents entered the battlefield under your control this turn. Several cards create new predefined tokens portrayed as Roles, aura enchantments that attach to creatures giving them different abilities, but only one role controlled by the same player can exist at the same time on a creature.



Card types


This set features one Planeswalker card: Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator. Going forward, the general intent is that there will be only one Planeswalker per set.[7][8]

Wilds of Eldraine introduces the Role aura enchantment type.
