It’s finally upon us- the official spoiler season for Adventures in the Forgotten Realm has kicked off in earnest, and we have a TON of cards from the new set to look at! The purpose of the Daily Roundup is to compile all of the spoilers from each day onto one easy-to-browse page. A couple of notes before we dive in:

• This page is a WIP and will be regularly updated throughout the day as more cards are previewed.
• This time around, there are far too many cards to provide analysis for each here. Some commentary will be provided but not for everything.
• Some cards have been previewed in languages other than English with no official translation currently available. Be aware that the exact wording of cards with non-English text may or may not be perfectly accurate.
• The regular versions of cards have been listed here when available. Special card versions (Borderless, Showcase, etc) can be viewed on our main spoilers page.

Let’s get started! Cards have been listed alphabetically and categorized by rarity. Due to the overall length of the page, here are some links if you’d like to jump around.

Mythic

The Book of Vile Darkness

• Card Name: The Book of Vile Darkness
• Mana Cost: {B}{B}{B}
• Card Type: Legendary Artifact
• Rarity: Mythic
• Card Text:
  At the beginning of your end step, if you lost 2 or more life this turn, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token.
  {T}, Exile The Book of Vile Darkness and artifacts you control named Eye of Vecna and Hand of Vecna: Create Vecna, a legendary 8/8 black Zombie God creature token with indestructible. It gains all triggered abilities of the exiled cards.

The Book of Vile Darkness is an interesting token generator that may end up being useful for sacrifice decks, particularly if that archetype survives rotation. The activated ability seems like a lot of fun, but also seems very difficult to trigger- especially with artifact removal hanging around both Standard and Historic in the form of Prismari Command.

Ebondeath, Dracolich

• Card Name: Ebondeath, Dracolich
• Mana Cost: {2}{B}{B}
• Card Type: Legendary Creature – Zombie Dragon
• Rarity: Mythic
• Card Text:
  Flash
  Flying
  Ebondeath, Dracolich enters the battlefield tapped.
  You may cast Ebondeath, Dracolich from your graveyard if a creature not named Ebondeath, Dracolich died this turn.
• Power/Toughness: 5/2

There’s been a lot of buzz around this card, and rightly so- Ebondeath, Dracolich is an aggressive threat that recurs itself from the graveyard. On its own, a 4 mana 5/2 that enters the battlefield tapped isn’t a great rate. But this Zombie Dragon can be cast from its owner’s graveyard on any turn where a different creature with has gone to the graveyard, and since it has flash, this includes the opponent’s turns as well. This is a pretty easy ask, especially in sacrifice decks or any deck that has lots of removal.

Flameskull

• Card Name: Flameskull
• Mana Cost: {1}{R}{R}
• Card Type: Creature – Skeleton
• Rarity: Mythic
• Card Text:
  Flying
  Flameskull can’t block.
  Rejuvenation – When Flameskull dies, exile it. If you do, exile the top card of your library. Until the end of your next turn, you may play one of those cards. (If you cast Flameskull this way, you can’t play the other card, and vise versa.)
• Power/Toughness: 3/1

Icingdeath, Frost Tyrant

• Card Name: Icingdeath, Frost Tyrant
• Mana Cost: {2}{W}{W}
• Card Type: Legendary Creature – Dragon
• Rarity: Mythic
• Card Text:
  Flying, vigilance
  When Icingdeath, Frost Tyrant, dies, create Icingdeath, Frost Tongue, a legendary white Equipment artifact with “Equipped creature gets +2/+0,” “Whenever equipped creature attacks, tap target creature defending player controls,” and equip {2}.
• Power/Toughness: 4/3

The Tarrasque

• Card Name: The Tarrasque
• Mana Cost: {6}{G}{G}{G}
• Card Type: Legendary Creature – Dinosaur
• Rarity: Mythic
• Card Text:
  The Tarrasque has haste and ward {10} as long as it was cast.
  Whenever The Tarrasque attacks, it fights target creature defending player controls.
• Power/Toughness: 10/10

Xanathar, Guild Kingpin

• Card Name: Xanathar, Guild Kingpin
• Mana Cost: {4}{U}{B}
• Card Type: Legendary Creature – Beholder
• Rarity: Mythic
• Card Text:
  At the beginning of your upkeep, choose target opponent. Until end of turn, that player can’t cast spells, you may look at the top card of their library any time, you may play the top card of their library, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast spells this way.
• Power/Toughness: 5/6

Xanathar, Guild Kingpin reads like a card that was designed more for Commander formats than Standard. While it is a powerful effect, there are a lot of powerful things you can cast in Standard for 6 mana, and this doesn’t seem like the best option. I’ll try to reserve judgement until we see this card in action, but I don’t expect it to show up much, if at all, in competitive play. That being said, it does seem like a fun card to play, and players will surely experiment with Xanathar across multiple formats.

Rare

Adult Gold Dragon

• Card Name: Adult Gold Dragon
• Mana Cost: {3}{R}{W}
• Card Type: Creature – Dragon
• Rarity: Rare
• Card Text:
  Flying, lifelink, haste
• Power/Toughness: 4/3

Adult Gold Dragon almost seems like a combination of Skyknight Legionaire and Baneslayer Angel, neither of which saw heavy play when they were recently in Standard. Still, the lifelink makes an unblocked Adult Gold Dragon an eight life swing, and haste means it can get at least one attack around sorcery speed removal.

The Blackstaff of Waterdeep

• Card Name: The Blackstaff of Waterdeep
• Mana Cost: {U}
• Card Type: Legendary Artifact
• Rarity: Rare
• Card Text:
  You may choose not to untap The Blackstaff of Waterdeep during your untap step.
  Animate Walking Statue – {1}{U},{T}: Another target nontoken artifact you control becomes a 4/4 artifact creature for as long as The Blackstaff of Waterdeep remains tapped. Activate only as a sorcery.

Circle of Dreams Druid

• Card Name: Circle of Dreams Druid
• Mana Cost: {G}{G}{G}
• Card Type: Creature – Elf Druid
• Rarity: Rare
• Card Text:
  {T}: Add {G} for each creature you control.
• Power/Toughness: 2/1

Circle of Dreams Druid is very notable for having the same activated ability as Gaea’s Cradle, a $1,000 reserved list card. However, that ability being on a creature makes this card a significant downgrade, since you have to pay 3 to cast it and it’s much more vulnerable to removal. Still, Circle of Dreams Druid is sure to cause a lot of excitement for commander players, and may turn out to be good in Standard as well. The ceiling is very high for this card, and the worst case scenario isn’t awful either.

Cave of the Frost Dragon

• Card Name: Cave of the Frost Dragon
• Card Type: Land
• Rarity: Rare
• Card Text:
  If you control two or more other lands, Cave of the Frost Dragon enters the battlefield tapped.

  If you control two or more other lands, Hall of the Storm Giants enters the battlefield tapped.
  {T}: Add {U}.
  {5}{U}: Until end of turn, Hall of the Storm Giants becomes a 7/7 blue Giant creature with ward {3}. It’s still a land.

Hive of the Eye Tyrant

• Card Name: Hive of the Eye Tyrant
