Roles and Role Tokens

Roles are icon evergreens that can be given to creatures. When a creature receives a Role evergreen, any other Role evergreens that were previously on that creature are removed. When a creature receives a Role evergreen, a Role token support related to that Role is created. Below, are the hints of the 6 different roles:

“When a creature gains Wicked Role, remove all other Role evergreens that creature has. Then, that creature’s controller creates a Wicked Role token.”

“When a creature gains Cursed Role, remove all other Role evergreens that creature has. Then, that creature’s controller creates a Cursed Role token.”

“When a creature gains Young Hero Role, remove all other Role evergreens that creature has. Then, that creature’s controller creates a Young Hero Role token.”

“When a creature gains Monster Role, remove all other Role evergreens that creature has. Then, that creature’s controller creates a Monster Role token.”

“When a creature gains Royal Role, remove all other Role evergreens that creature has. Then, that creature’s controller creates a Royal Role token.”

“When a creature gains Sorcerer Role, remove all other Role evergreens that creature has. Then, that creature’s controller creates a Sorcerer Role token.”

Below, are each of the Role token supports that are related to the Role icon evergreens:

New Events and Vanguards

As discussed in this thread, this project went through some changes during the development cycle of Wilds of Eldraine. We wanted to make sure that we would release this set within schedule and that all necessary checks would be completed in time. We know how excited you all are for this new content and we reaffirm our commitment to bring it with quality and care.

As such, to adequate this release to our time constraints, events will come a little later this time. New events, alongside new vanguard cards, will be coming in a future patch, scheduled to the end of October. Stay tuned. ;)

New Products

We have a few new bundle types debuting:

Fast Leveling Bundle (100 Mana Crystals)

This is a bundle with a focus on new players, to help them have a way to get their first or second Planeswalker to 60 and improve their first-time experience with the game. There are better uses in general to Mana Crystals, but having the option to accelerate their first Planeswalkers is important.

A Fast-Leveling Bundle gives you 10,000 Mana Runes.

Booster Box (79,99)

Sometimes, a single booster isn't enough. Now, we have a way to get an entire booster box of boosters! And if you decide to get the box, there are some extras inside! ;)

A Booster Box comes with 36 Booster Packs + 2 Rare+ Packs + 1 Mythic+ Pack + Exclusive Card Heartflame Duelist.

Collector's Box (95,99)

VIPs are an important part of the playerbase. They also deserve products designed for them. The collector's boxes are for those who want to take the extra mile towards completing their collections.
