Wizards published the 100-card list with 16 new-to-Magic cards. The first printing includes a 3/3 blue Angel token where Ob Nixilis needs a 4/4 white Angel; later printings will correct it and Collector Boosters contain the right version, but no replacement program or affected quantity is announced.
Read this story →Lead vision designer Doug Beyer identifies three design pillars: a paired legendary duo in every booster, five Hexhaven schools, and conflict between the Lorwyn Five planeswalkers and counterparts from their home planes. Every booster contains a pair of linked legendary creatures plus a third legendary card; the set has 66 uncommon legends, 71 commons and 109 uncommons. The ten draft archetypes are organized around color-pair themes, while non-pair cards take place on Hexhaven and the paired legends remain tied to their home planes. This is Wizards' design account and collation description, not independent evidence of draft balance or secondary-market value. It does not replace the final gallery, release notes or product odds.
