What’s new: The upcoming Magic: The Gathering set, Reality Fracture, will feature a card that creates a colorless artifact token named Lotus, which mimics the abilities of the iconic Black Lotus. This token can be sacrificed to add three mana of any one color. However, Black Lotus itself remains banned in most formats, and this new iteration is not an actual card but a token generated by another card.
Who’s affected
Players of Magic: The Gathering, particularly those interested in the competitive formats where Black Lotus is banned or restricted, will be impacted by the introduction of this new token. Additionally, fans of planeswalker mechanics and alternate reality themes will find relevance in this set.
What to do
- Stay updated on card previews starting September 8 to learn more about the mechanics and specifics of the new Lotus token.
- Participate in pre-release events for Reality Fracture beginning September 25 to experience the new cards firsthand.
- Consider how the new token mechanics might influence deck building and gameplay strategies.
