Dungeons and Dragons join forces with popular trading card game Magic: The Gathering again for their forthcoming Mythic Odysseys of Theros campaign.

Announced today, the campaign will introduce a slew of new properties, including new races and subclasses. Players can also obtain supernatural gifts which can make or break your journey. The synopsis states, “Legends walk the lands of Theros, a realm shaped by deities and the deeds of heroes. From the temples of omen-speaking oracles to the five realms of the Underworld, the champions of the gods vie for immortal favor and a place among the world’s living myths.”

The campaign book can be pre-ordered right now. A campaign book with an alternative cover will be sold exclusively at local game stores. Mythic Odysseys of Theros will be released to the public on June 2.

London Mulligan coming to Magic The Gathering this summer

in

After some testing during the Mythic Championship, Magic The Gathering will officially bring the London Mulligan to all formats. How exactly does this work? Well, every time a player takes a mulligan, they shuffle the cards in their hand back into the library before drawing a new one. If you mulligan to your appropriate number of cards, place the remaining cards in the bottom of the deck. For example, if you mulligan to five, draw seven cards and return two of them to the deck.

The London Mulligan will arrive in time for Core Set 2020’s release on July 12, 2019. The new mulligan will be used in Core Set 2020 preleases starting on July 5. Magic The Gathering Arena will have a special event to test things out on June 7. The London Mulligan will officially be adapted in Arena and Magic Online on July 2.

You can read more about this over on the Magic The Gathering website.
