thaumaturgy : The Gatheringhas been see another boom stop in the game ’s growth , thanks for the most part to thepopularity ofMagic Arena . What start asMagic ’s belated attempt at answeringHearthstone ’s popularity quickly top fan expectation , supplantingMagic : The gain Onlineas the most popular digital offering in the game ’s repertoire .

conjuring trick : The assembly ’s new War of the Spark trailer continues to showcase why the game has bound back so strongly . The video recording , hosted on theMagicofficial YouTube channel , showcases a tower that is likely on theplane of Ravnica , the site of the last two sets . The tower is adorned with various stained methamphetamine hydrochloride representations of planeswalkers past and present , including the Gatewatch , Magic ’s solution to the Avengers . Of those , a planeswalker named Gideon ’s glass is shattered by a strong blast of wind , his entire thorax evaporate in an instant as the camera progresses inside the pillar . Afterwards , all the candles are blown out by that same farting salvage one , as the dope coalesces into the iconic Bolas horn that are sported byMagic ’s most popular villain .

The logical implication of the video is that Gideon Jura will run across his end during the War of the Spark , whatever that struggle might imply . Gideon ’s story arc in the secret plan has been trending in that focusing a fiddling , as the would - be headwaiter of the resistance to Nicol Bolas constantly feels himself on the verge of warp under the weight of leadership . While Gideon has managed to hang in each time in the past tense , the stake in War of the Spark will likely reach a heightMagichasn’t seen for a very long clock time .

Even if Gideon does survive - and the trailer sour very intemperately to ensure that we all think it ’s not going to happen - we will likely see a death before this arc amply wraps up . Nicol Bolas is one of the most pop villains inMagichistory and achieved that status by remaining evil and hardhearted . If everything go according to his program , that could spawn the end of the multiverse as sports fan know it . We ’ll have to wait until April 27 , 2019 for the War of the Spark prerelease to know for sure , however .
