Steve Feral has posted the location of the next Magic Pre-release. Hopefully the regulars, and some new people will be able to show up (I’m looking at you Sully and Heath).
Date: Sept.23-24 (I plan on going the 23rd.)
Location: Radisson Hotel (I-35 and 95th St., Southeast corner)
Buyback is back.
Morph is back.
Flashback is back.
Split Second spells cannot be responded to.
Suspend cards are played cheaper if removed from the game for a number of turns.
:Edit:
I forgot to mention Storm, which copies itself for each spell played before it that turn.
:Edit 2:
Flanking is back.
I was a bit curious about other preview cards.
But I ran short of time.
Are there many more preview cards up than the Lotus Bloom?
That was the first Wizards put up. mtgsalvation has a few more, but most of what has been leaked has been commons or rare lands.
Wizards has also mentioned these:
* an angel that costs two mana (yes, that angel, and no she’s not some wimpy 2/2)
* a female legend that players have been begging us to do for a long time
* a new hermit with a love of tokens and an old keyword (but not the same one)
* a direct damage spell that can do 5 damage for a single red mana
* a new Lotus (oh wait, you’ve already seen that one)
* a Power Nine card with buyback
* a card with the word “squirrel” in its rules text
* a legend who uttered one of the most popular lines of flavor text of all time
* and a cycle of artifact mana sources that turn into creatures from the Reserved List
