New Mechanics

Affinity

At the beginning of the turn, a card with Affinity has its mana cost reduced by X, where X is the number of cards you control of the same type or subtype listed on the Affinity ability, including reinforcements. The reduction lasts until the beginning of your next turn.

Tokens count for Affinity. Reinforcements count for Affinity. The sum of the mentioned variable will reduce the cost of the spell with Affinity by the same amount until the beginning of the player’s next turn.

Blight

When a card that requires the creation of Blight gems is used, the required number of gems of your planeswalker's color become Blight Gems.

Blight Gems are gems that interfere in a match involving them, making that match not generate mana.

If a gem is blighted, the first match cleans it (and the gems return to being a normal gem), and only the next match generates mana.

If the planeswalker using a card with Blight is colorless, the Blight gem can be any of the colored gems on the board.

New Planeswalkers

Oko, Lorwyn Liege/Oko, Shadowmoor Scion

A mischievous shapeshifter, and one of the last few planeswalkers to keep his spark after the Phyrexian invasion, Oko brings trouble to wherever he goes. With a questioning mind and a special disdain for authority and ruling figures, Oko shows up in Lorwyn to sure stir up some trouble.

“Eclipsed realms are the spaces between Lorwyn’s stability and Shadowmoor’s chaos—raw and undefined boundaries where the plane naturally corrects imbalances in power and influence.”

The aurora, though beautiful, also brings hidden dangers. In an eclipsed plane, journeys along the edges are extremely dangerous. Those who acted one way in the daylight change completely during the twilight.
