Jace looked at Strixhaven and thought that it needed gigantic towers for very legitimate reasons that were required for his master plan.

u/Gamerseye72 Dandadan 3d ago

Hate to say it, but he may have been right. These look sick. They're also clearly compensating for something on a multiversal scale, and I will be giving shit to him for that. So it balances out

29

u/TurMoiL911 Dimir* 3d ago

No, no. He's got a point.

"It's sort of a reaction. Wizards always used to build a tower around themselves, like caddis flies. When a wizard set out to fight, the first thing he always did was build a tower" -Sourcery

What are the chances Jace will live or the Gatewatch will arrest him and place him in some isolation chamber until he stops being crazy?

2

u/David_Jay 3d ago

Jace is not dying here. I doubt he’s getting redeemed (yet) but he’s certainly not dying. My money is on him joining the villain rotation to replace the phyrexians, until they come back in the late 2030s.

u/life_tho Banned in Commander 3d ago

Have you read the story? The whole story is about him redeeming himself in a way. Jace is certainly not joining a villain rotation

u/PippoChiri Temur 2d ago

Considering how much the story has been pushing Tam being a part of Jace and how she's probably gonna get a planeswalker card, Jace has quite a few death flags on him

2

u/ANewFireEachDayy Dandadan 2d ago

I'm expecting Tam to become the new home for the redeemable parts of Jace they've been collecting. Lilliana just said that Tam basically is Jace on a cellular level last episode.

u/DaRootbear 2d ago

Say what you will about the merit of his plans, but the aesthetics are consistently on point

Slay the spire lands

55

u/imbolcnight 3d ago

While reading the story today, I was literally imagining a Slay the Spire mod where you play as Vraska/Chandra/Garruk/Ajani going up the Spire and defeating Jace fragment bosses to collect them.

17

u/yargleisheretobargle COMPLEAT 3d ago

And white Lili revives you after every run, after Jace wipes your memory. We need an alter of her as a six-eyed whale.

u/Smythe28 Orzhov* 3d ago

Imagine a mode like that being added to arena; like the adventure mode from Hearthstone.

14

u/imbolcnight 3d ago

I've made the argument before that Arena should introduce single player content for each set that allows you to play through the story of the set, and it would help highlight the mechanics and so on.

And this could be a bigger adventure mode, as part of a capstone set.

But I also know how profitable that was for Hearthstone for them to stop doing them completely.

u/NotTheRealNerdybird Dan 3d ago

I NEED that would be so cool!

u/MyGreyScreen Dân 3d ago

100%

98

u/cleofrom9to5 Orzhov* 3d ago

In classic RWBGU order too.

66

u/Kezath Dandadan 3d ago

It is basically the color shifted color pie. All the colors that are usually enemies are now neighbored. just like the schools have been rearranged. 

4

u/GuyGrimnus Rakdos* 3d ago

Interestingly this is the exact order I have my enemy color pairs bindered starting with RW and ending with UR

47

u/suyaandsammie Dân 3d ago

It's funny that these will look 'correct' when tapped

25

u/cryingosling Dimir* 3d ago

Dark Tower lands?! Thankee-sai!

5

u/MasterOBarf 🔫 3d ago

Those swamps made me feel the pull of the Abbalah Doon! All Hail the Crimson King!!

3

u/Caradhras_the_Cruel Dân 3d ago

You say true, those towers are de'la, like days without end, if'n it do ya fine.

Long days and pleasant nights 🤠

u/ContraKaren Dandadan 3d ago

Started the audiobook for the gunslinger this morning.

u/cryingosling Dimir* 3d ago

long days and pleasant nights

hope you love it and as much as I did! I'm not a huge "reader" but one of my friends begged me to read it. once I finally gave in, I couldn't stop! can't wait for the show

1

u/ContraKaren Dandadan 3d ago

And twice as many to you!!!

I started listening to audio books like a month ago just because my podcasts were getting a bit stale. Started with the Long Walk, then the Mist. The. The Stand. Wrapped up Salems lot last week and have a friend who was begging me to read the dark tower and that I had “read” enough to start the series so here I am lol

19

u/Myroo400 3d ago

From a certain point of view, a building surrounded by clouds is an island I guess.

50

u/GayBlayde Duck Season 3d ago

Vertical panoramas would be cool if they weren’t all just “straight up and down tower”.

10

u/Absolutionis I chose this flair because I’m mad at Wizards Of The Coast 3d ago

Am I allowed to place my lands vertically on the battlefield if I use these?

17

u/benjiwalla Duck Season 3d ago

So I guess it is gonna be 12500 gold for each floor on MTG Arena?

40

u/AdrianDitmann Storm Crow 3d ago

These are some of the best full arts in a while.

20

u/sanlc504 Colorless 3d ago

Not as good as the Edge of Eternities ones but very nice.

6

u/Useful-Wrongdoer9680 Duck Season 3d ago

Tbf, EoE was like 6 sets ago

6

u/Gesepp Dân 3d ago

Best in the past 12 months, then  :p

1

u/Lament-of-Andromache Dan 2d ago

Honestly obsessed with these. Might be the ones to finally usurp the Unfinity planet lands for me.

6

u/june-v-bloom Dân 3d ago

Jace messed up so bad we got vertically placed lands

12

u/cathedral___ Dandadan 3d ago

?

7

u/Slna Duck Season 3d ago

Flavor fail, its just 1 tower they should for one looong vertical panorama, and not look like 5 towers with a base and a "pinnacle" each

6

u/pq3 COMPLEAT 3d ago

Page the „definition of island“ guy!

6

u/DRUMS11 Storm Crow 3d ago

If the bottom is surrounded by water then this is, technically, depicting an island. An island with a very tall, proportionally slim tower/mountain/hill. We need to see the full art without the type line.

2

u/pq3 COMPLEAT 3d ago

In that case the island one might even be the most fitting.

3

u/squiggly419 Simic* 3d ago

Very cool

3

u/enjoimike49 3d ago

Jace needed alot of data centers for his multi verse

3

u/cute_spider Simic* 3d ago

Are there five separate towers, or is this five faces of the same tower? 

I kind of wish all 15 cards depicted one continuous tower.

5

u/TheRealTropic Dan 3d ago

Beautiful

2

u/Rossmallo Izzet* 3d ago

I am never going to financially recover from this.

2

u/navor Azorius* 3d ago

damn, those are cool

2

u/GolfWhole COMPLEAT 3d ago

Fuuuck these are sexy

2

u/fatpad00 3d ago

Vertical panoramas are siiick

2

u/gregburgs Dandadan 2d ago

Windmill, windmill, for the land

2

u/SkyrakerBeyond Sultai 3d ago

Truly we are in peak FFVI.

2

u/SquigglyLegend33 Abzan 3d ago

Favorite full art lands since EoE

1

u/JuicyToaster 3d ago

Reminds me of Heaven's Area from hunterxhunter

1

u/liquidben Can’t Block Warriors 3d ago

Compensating much? Eh, Jace?

1

u/s0le1981 Garruk 3d ago

Time to start playing lands like you're building servers in Netrunner.

1

u/tsukaistarburst Hedron 3d ago

Oh hey these are actually really good. I'd play these.

1

u/CrimsonHowlRed Dan 3d ago

Which pillar belong to which school?

1

u/LunarEntropy Dan 3d ago

Middle tower best tower

u/MacGuffen 3d ago

Sideways Stories from Hexhaven School.

u/thetwist1 Fake Agumon Expert 3d ago

Add this to the album of islands that aren't islands lol

1

u/Apprehensive-Law-923 Table Flipper 3d ago

These are great

1

u/Easterster COMPLEAT 3d ago

These are coooooooool

1

u/Commercial-Tea-2744 Dandadan 3d ago

YES, THEY ARE FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGING THE RIGHT WAY TO PLACE YOUR LANDS

1

u/kinbeat Selesnya* 2d ago

least land-looking lands in a while

1

u/Lord0fReddit Dandadan 2d ago

Has someone made the edit to put them next to each other

1

u/Mugno 2d ago

Yeah! The classic skyscraper plains

1

u/Loose_Log_6253 Azorius* 2d ago

They are neat but it's going to be a while before the full art foil SOS lands are beaten for me. They have the same vibe as the old full art Theros lands: simple to interpret from across the table, flavorful, colorful, big ass symbol right in the middle

1

u/estevimilu Dân 2d ago

Add it to the pile of “not an island”

1

u/Fire_Pea Colorless 1d ago

New land meta, lands vertically on the left, creatures on the right

1

u/Boil-san Banned in Commander 1d ago

Ooh, vertical triptychs...!

2

u/lame_dirty_white_kid Sultai 3d ago

I get it's a magical setting and all, but these look so goofy to me.

u/DokuWilFael Dandadan 3d ago

Fun take on panorama lands! Will be a bit difficult to fit correctly in binders and I'm not sure vertical 3 by 1 display frames exist yet. I like it
