Cards that interact with Snow come in two flavors: those that have an activated ability that requires you to tap a Snow land, and those that care about the number of Snow permanents you control. The Snow mechanic returns, with considerable support: every Kaldheim pack has either a basic Snow land or a come-into-play-tapped Snow dual land. That makes Boast an offensive mechanic, and it’s no surprise that the majority of Boast creatures are in Red and White, with effects that one might expect for an aggressive strategy.īlack and Green also have a few Boast creatures with color-pie appropriate effects. Many creatures feature the Boast mechanic: an ability that allows you to use mana to trigger a variety of effects - but only if the creature has attacked that turn. This mechanic also allows players to play fascinating mind games: is the Foretold card a creature or a removal spell, or a pump spell that will result in lethal damage?Įvery color has multiple Foretell cards, signaling the mechanic’s importance in the set. The Foretell cost is often cheaper than the card’s CMC, allowing for explosive turns where a player can fire off massive effects for very little mana. We’ll begin by looking at Kaldheim ’s major mechanics and themes.įoretell cards allow you to “prophecize” a spell’s coming by foretelling it for two mana, only to cast it later for its Foretell cost. Let’s take a look! Mechanics and Major Themes and the set also has a fascinating Limited design, one that I’m eager to explore once the set releases on Arena and in paper. Kaldheim looks to capture the spirit of those myths, inviting Magic players to dive into a world of gods and sagas and unending conflict. I’ve loved Norse myths ever since I was a little kid I remember staying up late at night to read tales of one-eyed Odin, vengeful Thor, and viciously mischievous Loki.
