Fate Reforged is the 66th Magic expansion, and the second in the Khans of Tarkir block. It will be released on January 23, 2015.[1] Fate Reforged is a small expansion.
Fate Reforged was announced at the Wizards of the Coast panel at PAX Prime on August 31, 2014. [2] It contains 185 cards and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. The expansion symbol
of the set is a stylized representation of two opposing planes or
realities. This small set is designed to be drafted with both large sets
of the block, while the large sets are never drafted together. [3]. Fate Reforged draft is one pack of Fate Reforged and then two packs of Khans of Tarkir.
Because the clans of Fate Reforged are less defined, the set does not contain three-color gold cards. The color identity of the cards is instead marked by the use of hybrid ability activation costs
(for example a Temur card with green mana cost, and blue/red hybrid
ability cost). This allows for these cards to be played in two-color
decks (in this example either green/blue or green/red).
Storyline[edit]
Sarkhan Vol travels 1000 years back in time, to change the moment that sealed Tarkir's fate: the battle between Nicol Bolas and Ugin, the demise of the latter and all dragons of Tarkir (Crux of Fate). The clans
still exist back in the time; they are not fighting each other but are
constantly fending off the legion hordes of dragons that are terrorizing
their world. Sarkhan meets khans of the past, like Yasova Dragonclaw. [4] The history of Tarkir is rewritten.
