ANNOUNCEMENT DAY!
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on Aug. 31, 2016, 3:31 p.m. by Monsmtg
There is already a thread dealing with the main set being announced, but I feel it deserved another thread for all the other sets being spoiled.
"Rise Among the Worthy" on the plane of Amonkhet. Discover a world ruled by Nicol Bolas when the first set of the Amonkhet block releases April 28, 2017.
Nicol Bolas is among the most powerful beings in the Multiversedon't face him alone! Much like the original Archenemy release, Archenemy: Nicol Bolas pits you and two friends against a single powerful foe where you must work together to surviveor fall to Nicol Bolas himself.
The second set in the Amonkhet block, Hour of Devastation, releases July 14, 2017.
In the same spirit as Duel Decks: Anthology and Planechase Anthology, Commander Anthology gathers four previous Commander products together in one convenient package, releasing June 9, 2017.
Draft like a master once more as we release Modern Masters 2017 Edition March 17, 2017featuring cards from Eighth Edition through Magic 2014, including new trips through Innistrad and Return to Ravnica.
Brains or brawn? Cunning or strength? Test your guile and brute horse with Duel Decks: Mind vs. Might, releasing in May of 2017.
Updates to Magic: The Gathering: Puzzle Quest are here, with Kaladesh content!

I really wish that WotC would return to their original format of announcing each product separately, as that made them much more exciting; the current format is too crowded with so many announcements at once.
I have already commented about Amonkhet, but a new Archenemy set is very awesome; I really enjoyed the first set, so I was very disappointed that there was never a second set, until now. The fact that there shall not be any new cards in it is very disappointing, but the idea of new schemes is awesome.
Duel Decks: Mind versus Might sounds far too similar to Speed versus Cunning, so I really hope that it is different, in some way.
I am very pleased about Modern Masters 2017, as this now confirms that MM shall be a recurring product, and it also raises my hopes about a second Eternal Masters set. As have many other players, already, I shall hope for reprints of Liliana of the Veil and Snapcaster Mage.
With this announcement, WotC has managed to keep me excited about their future products, so I now hope that those products can live up to their hype.

Steelspike: whose last name is "cocks?" Also, you own username is fairly suggestive, especially with it appearing directly above that post.

While I'm excited about the Amonkhet block and theme, especially revolving around Nicol Bolas, I'm a little worried that it could end up being too similar with Theros. They talk about Gods, so we will probably get more, along with a possible return of devotion. It'll be interesting to see how similar they are, and if they can keep it fresh. Two sets seem to be more focused that spreading it out over three, plus they have the stats and survey's to know what didn't work in the Theros block. Still very excited and loved these announcements today. Can't wait for Kaladesh spoilers to start and to get some sweet artifacts for my Karn and Niv-Mizzet EDH decks.

CheeseBro, the new Archenemy symbol looks virtually identical to the first Archenemy symbol; could you please post that one, to compare it to the new one?

Why did you start another thread about this, again?
August 31, 2016 6:51 p.m.
The other thread was only about AKN. This is about announcement day entirely.
August 31, 2016 7:59 p.m.
DemonDragonJ: wow they actually are the same symbol. anyway, lovin that amonkhet symbol.
August 31, 2016 11:03 p.m.
I love how creative they are with the Modern Masters set symbol. Like seriously, how many variations on the original symbol can they make?
September 1, 2016 4:06 a.m.
DemonDragonJ Both- I really despise it, but at the same time I kinda want to see how many variations on it that they can do before they give up

Take a look at the Commander Anthology Page
We're getting reprints of the Kaalia deck, the Derevi deck, the Freyalise Deck, and the Meren deck all in this anthology. There's also 4 dice included as well, which obviously weren't in the original decks.
SO HYPER FOR NEW ARCHENEMY PRODUCT XD
