With every step we take in the land of Tarkir, we must be prepared for what we may find. Take a moment to explore around and see what interesting things you may Behold!

Behold is a keyword that can be applied to any card. Behold checks if the card owner has a specific subtype card on the battlefield or in their hand; if they do, the card can perform additional effects.

Now, what to do when you do encounter such an incredible sight? When caught between a world storm and eternal clans, you may feel you have no say - but you do! Decide your own path as you choose the Omens that rule your path:

Omen is a double-sided card in which each side contains a unique card; one side is a creature, and the other is a spell:

You can choose which side of this card to play.
The spell side is an Omen card and, when it’s cast, the card is shuffled back to the library. Both sides have an Omen evergreen.

When you play with cards with Omen, if you buy the same Omen card later in the battle, you can choose which side you want to use.

As we delve deeper into Tarkir, we’ll end up facing other mechanics. Stay with us as we explore this land!

    What if I keep shuffling this back into my library? Will my library eventually be only this card and if I keep playing it will my library never repopulate with new cards?Why would I want to shuffle a card back into my library? That doesn’t make any sense in MTGPQ.

    Not necessarily that you'd want to put stuff back in your library, but some stuff we already have kinda already does so (Day's Undoing being the main, and can put even cards stolen from Greg in if they happened to be in your hand; Threats Undetected, for what card or two you do choose going from location in library to the "bottom" of the library; Cabaretti Ascendancy chosing between your top two cards and sending any card that you choose to BoL if it is not a creature or vanguard). The BoL send wording I think has been appearing on more cards recently(-ish), and could be leading to some of the funkyness in library densities (ala/aka "Shuffler is broken"), but hey it's card selection that doesn't feed your grave or exile if you are in a moment where you don't want to do that (Facing Kaya OU, one or multiple Ashioks, Greg having a Chalk Outline down, you having a Chalk Outline down while Greg has Life insurance or healer of the pride (you may want a few less etb triggers then) and it's Magic so there are bound to be more cases before and after those.).

    I love the little crow/raven icon.

    Man I think this set has a lot of potential and synergy with other sets as well! But I would like to know what type of new mechanics that you are excited for and what other mechanics do you think will be a perfect match to the new set of mechanics?
