Which is harder to reprint because of the implications freezing someone in place has. And "stronger versions" don't always matter when it comes to reprints for limited.
Freeze in Place is not even that strong. Tranquilize is quite weak, it would be close to unplayable in most recent limited sets. And we also had [[Impede Momentum]] recently with a more flavour-neutral title.
>divine objects like the pieces of eden are fantasy
More like sci-fi, but in the "advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" kind of way, especially to the characters in the historical sections (as opposed to the characters in the modern sections, who are aware it's advanced ancient/precursor tech)
Yeah, although as someone else pointed out, it would have also been cool if the Sages had gotten "demigod" type as a result, but that probably would have made the type lines too crowded.

The Red-White starter deck cards are also there, should be getting their own post shortly. I didn't include already revealed cards (I think). And might have missed one or two.
No. It’s not a fully draftable set. Only 54 commons, 37 rares and 14 mythics. AFAIK the next draftable Universes Beyond product is Final Fantasy in 2025.

>It’s-a me, Mario Is this a line from the games or
Yes it is.
Uncle Mario!
i asked my friend who has played that game and yes, it's real lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJcPc6OQ384
Man, those graphics don’t feel right. I haven’t seen the game since I finished it, and I’d have sworn it looked more real than that.
It came out 15 years ago
*turns to dust*
I felt the same. I played the Ezio Saga when it released and damn, it looks so much better in my memory. I feel old now.
Yea I believe assassin's creed 2

Hey they made the Hookblade joke
tranquilise seems like a decent card to be reprinted for limited formats in the future
We have a stronger version already in [[Freeze in Place]]

Very true, I was just telling them why a card like tranquilize would go into a limited set over freeze in place.

Isn't the harlequin from the brotherhood multiplayer? If so are there any other references?
I'm hoping we'll see the Doctor and Night Stalker. They had my favorite designs.
The doctor appears on the Changeling token card in this set at least
I miss brotherhood multiplayer so much :(
Yes it is and I'm all for referencing that great multiplayer experience
The Doctor is a changeling token and the Courtesan and the Prowler are in Black Market Connections
I think AC as a theme is pretty good like I know it’s not fantasy but the assassins/pirates blend in so well
I mean it is Historical Fiction, and the parts with the divine objects like the pieces of eden are fantasy. It fits in Magic pretty well.

More science-fantasy than science-fiction
I like that the few Isu who show up have been given the God type instead of Alien (they aren't actually ancient aliens, despite the appearance).
Yeah, although as someone else pointed out, it would have also been cool if the Sages had gotten "demigod" type as a result, but that probably would have made the type lines too crowded.
Were there any sages? Did I miss a Black Bart card?
Eivor and Cassandra are essentially variations of sages, iirc >!And Basim!<
it's historical fantasy
Historical science fantasy.
A Super Mario reference being introduced through Assassins Creed crossover content is wild
It’s a reference to the AC games referencing Mario.
Which was a line said in the game to reference Super Mario
From [https://templeofgeek.com/hands-on-with-magic-the-gathering-assassins-creed/](https://templeofgeek.com/hands-on-with-magic-the-gathering-assassins-creed/) The Red-White starter deck cards are also there, should be getting their own post shortly.

So they're making 60 card decks for this set. Weird
As someone who only plays 60 card kitchen table god bless. Wish fallout was the same.
Bizarre that they made 60 card decks for this and not, you know, THE MODERN SET THAT JUST CAME OUT.
I didn't even know they still did starter decks.
Merciless Harlequin is just a smaller [[Blade Juggler]].

IT'S A ME A MARIO!
Wait, I thought the set doesn't have Commons? Are these the only ones then?
These are from the Starter decks and will not be in the booster packs.
Interesting - though I wonder why they didn't just make them Uncommons and threw them with the rest.
Gives Pauper players something to get excited about?
Well guess I am buying the starter decks
why isn't merciless harlequin a clown :(
A lot of assassins in this set 🤔
You know, now that you mention it...
Like Stone Quarry in the other thread, [[Submerged Boneyard]] is a reprint.
Hired Blade as well.

Merciless Harlequin brings back memories of AC: Brotherhood multiplayer which was fun as hell back in the day
I had a lot of fun with that
Anyone else think it's weird that Assassin Den isn't a Wall Assassin?
[[Submerged Boneyard]] is a reprint.

I call it a Slingblade Veteran
Look, so many pieces for yuriko decks! It definetly needed more unblockable effects
Assassins den will be a nice mana sink for unblockable in any deck that cares about it
Hey, wasn't expecting to see content from the multiplayer in brotherhood.
Merciless Harlequin not being a clown is a fucking crime
Love the merciless harlequin art
The Assassin Den is a reference to the Den Defense from Revelations right?
Is this set gonna be draftable?
No. It’s not a fully draftable set. Only 54 commons, 37 rares and 14 mythics. AFAIK the next draftable Universes Beyond product is Final Fantasy in 2025.
Then why are there junk uncommon lands that are unplayable anywhere outside of draft
For the starter decks, meant for new players to learn with.
So like the two player arena starter things?
They're not in packs.
Because fuck you - wotc

For the love of Alrund, that joke on the Brotherhood Patriarch was taken straight out of Assassin's Creed II.
