Global Series: Jiang Yanggu and Mu Yanling is a pair Chinese-market-specific Planeswalker Decks featuring two new Planeswalkers, and new cards themed around their story.[3][4] It wil be released on June 22, 2018.[5]
Description
These two 60-card decks were originally designed by a team of Chinese artists, writers, and folklorists to explore a new branch of Magic lore rooted in Chinese aesthetics and mythology. A similar English version of the same product was created for international audiences. While the cards in it are not designed for serious tournament play, Wizards of the Coast wanted to make sure the fans it was created for — new, Chinese-speaking fans — could still play with the cards at an Friday Night Magic when they're starting out. The set will therefore become Standard legal in (mainland) China.[4] It will not be Standard legal anywhere else (which is kind of odd for a "Global" series) , but the cards will be legal for Legacy and Vintage use. They will not be legal in Modern.
The decks are only released in the Chinese Simplified and English languages.
Card types
This set introduces the Pangolin creature type, and the Yanggu and Yanling planeswalker types.
