Ashiok, Nightmare Muse

Changes

Booster Pack Crafting Changes

  • Cards from the newest set will become available for crafting only after the release of the next set. Starting from Theros Beyond Death, the cards from a new set will only become craftable after the release of the next set. This means that, as long as Theros Beyond Death is the newest set released in Standard, the cards from THB will not be available for crafting, until the release of the next collection.

VIP Booster Packs Changes

  • Once received, VIP Packs will only provide cards of that set. VIP packs acquired during a current set will only contain cards from that given set. For example: if you receive a VIP pack while Theros Beyond Death is the newest set in Standard, that pack will only (and always) contain cards from THB. That pack content will not be updated with cards from the next set, when this is released. Instead, each set will have its own VIP packs.

Standard Packs Changes

  • Standard Packs will have the cards defined once given, and won't update when new collections are released. Standard packs will only contain cards from the Standard configuration of when they were received. For example: if you receive a Standard pack while GRN, RNA, WAR, M20 and ELD are the only sets in Standard, that pack will keep having cards only from those sets, even after the release of other collections, such as THB.

Event Changes

  • Events Trial of the Planes (all versions): Booster Reward has been updated to THB Booster.

  • Event Planeschasing Fblthp: Booster Reward has been updated to ELD Booster.

  • Event Angels' Embrace: Updated Card Reward and Booster Reward.

Mechanic Changes

  • Proliferate now affects Saga cards. Proliferate now reads: “When you Proliferate, gain 1 Loyalty. Then, your buffed creatures get +1/+1 and your Vanguard supports gain 1 shield. Read the next chapter of each Saga you control.”
