Magic has always dabble in repulsion , what with all the zombies and ogre on bleak cards , but the game ’s decorator have crafted a genuine court to classic Universal and Hammer horror flick with their newest elaboration , Innistrad .
In the mistily easterly European flavor kingdom of Innistrad , the night is ruled by lamia nobles , scuffle zombies and bloodcrazed werewolves . In dank research laboratory , mad scientists and their deranged assistants carry on unspeakable experiments — sometimes on themselves . The humankind who last there have survived for centuries with the holy aegis of the backer Avacyn , but she no longer answers their prayer .
In addition to lengthen shadows and evocative art , Innistrad feature a somewhat startling Modern machinist : threefold - sided cards . These cards represent creatures that change forms , like werewolves or experimentation subjects . If you ignore the somewhat clunky and awkward political hack involve to toy them in tournament ( you have to either use opaque - support card sleeves , which most tournament instrumentalist already do , or use a placeholder checklist card marked to show which double - sider it represent ) , the new twist is a fun way to show a classic horror figure .
When you ’re done drooling over the hi - res bill artistry here , you could visitthe prescribed Innistrad siteto see a gallery of every wit in the set , information about the macrocosm of Innistrad , and game stores near you that will be holding prerelease tournaments this coming weekend .
