The Future is here!

Thursday, April 12, 2007

Future Sight, that is.

Although lacking the boom and hype of Planar Chaos (no thanks to Damnation), FS seems to be shaping up to be a very interesting set, as Wizards (thanks to crazy ol' MaRo) seem to be using FS as a testing ground for many many potential new mechanics, different twists of the game and a potential future new frame for the game. WotC insists that these are only potential futures as nothing is set in stone yet. What I think is that they're using this as a live test, a survey of sorts, to see how players respond to a taste or two of many experimental ideas and mechanics R&D has come up with.

There is going to be 49 total keywords appear in FS. Among others split second, suspend, echo, buyback, convoke, morph and Scry.
