Release Notes 7.6.0

Magic:PQ Support Team

New Mechanics

Conspire

Conspire is a keyword that checks if you control 2 or more creatures that have at least one of the colors of the spell being cast.

If you do, the spell will do both its normal and conspire effects.

If you don’t, the spell will only resolve its normal effects.

Example: The spell with Conspire you are about to cast is white/blue.

If you control zero or one creature, the condition is not met, and the spell will do only its normal effects.

If you control two creatures, one white and another white/red, the condition is met, and the spell will do both its normal and conspire effects.

If you control three creatures, one white, one white/blue, and another white/red, the condition is met, and the spell will do both its normal and conspire effects.

If you control two creatures, one red and another white/red, the condition is not met, and the spell will do only its normal effects.

Persist

When a creature with Persist dies, it returns to the battlefield and gains Finality.

If a creature with both Finality and Persist dies, it is exiled.

Wither

Wither triggers when the creatures deal damage (can be both combat and non-combat damage) to other creatures.

When the damage is done, the creature that took damage also receives -X/-0, where X is the damage dealt.

New Story Mode Stage

This game version adds a new stage for the Story Mode, based on the effects of the Great Aurora over Lorwyn.

New Planeswalkers

Reaper King

• Among the haunted fields of Shadowmoor, there moves a monarch made of rust and vengeance - the Reaper King. Some whisper he was once an ordinary scarecrow, a lifeless guardian given form by the hands of a humble kithkin cobblesmith. But somewhere between duty and decay, he awoke. The hollow smile of straw became something aware - something that hated. Gathering others of his kind beneath his corroded rule, the Reaper King turned creation into retribution, his gaze falling upon all who would dare call themselves "makers." What began as protection became judgment, and from judgment, dominion.*

Reaper King’s abilities revolve around:

• Summon a Scarespawn while reducing loyalty costs..
• Generate mana from land shields and strengthen your Scarecrows..
• Play lands to summon Scarespawns and randomly destroy opponents' non-token cards.

Lathril, Blade of the Elves

• In the age before the elven kind divided, there stood Lathril, queen and warrior of a glory long faded. Her presence commanded armies, her blade carved paths through fate itself. To her people, she was the edge and the shield, the brilliance that turned despair into defiance. She fought not from a throne but from the front lines, where the cries of battle met her calm resolve. Even after sight was taken from her and she became one of the Einir of Kaldheim, her vision never dimmed - for she saw with the will of her people. In every whisper of the forest, in every glint of elven steel, her legend endures - sharp as the first dawn.*

• Pay life to massively empower Elves with multiple abilities for the turn..
• Drain and gain life based on your Elves while temporarily grounding them..

The tribes of Shadowmoor are isolated and paranoid, the darkness and lack of resources warps the tribes into exaggerated versions of themselves. The bitter Cinders lost their source of fire, and roam the lands sowing chaos and destruction. The Aurora makes the giants more brutish and careless, they won’t stop for anything nor anyone, trampling villages and farms alike. The Kithkin are twisted into paranoid and cloistered societies, closed to anyone but themselves. Treefolk become sick and frail, facing their own mortality while fighting the canker epidemic.

Progression Rewards

”One night Oona bottled the sky. The next night she aligned the stars and released it.

Despite being the same exact plane, Shadowmoor is very different from Lorwyn. Where it was always sunny the plane is now dark, gloomy and foggy. Resources are scarce and the tribes now constantly bicker and fight over every scrap. What once was brimming with life is now a place of oppression, horror and death.
