assuming jolly balloon man is blowing the balloons up, then since we see the balloons floating, that means he exhales helium, which probably means he has a squeaky voice

[Samulisami]

That Damnation art is special to me because the artist is Masahiro Ito himself!!! The father of Silent Hill! Can't wait to get my hands on that beauty!

[magic_claw]

If they had made survivors more like the story -- beaten down, wearing pieces of the house etc., it would have been so much better. As-is, it is immersion breaking.

Can't wait to equip my Living Phone with a Baseball Bat

[Nopenotyou]

Jace isn’t in the set, but he features in the story. He was trying to find Vraska and Loot who got lost in the house, and the ending has some important implications given Duskmourn can open portals to other realms.

I was kinda under the same take on Survivors, they were odd but didn't break my suspension of disbelief. Until I read the story and saw just how much better they could have been portrayed

The Survivors of the set don't have that rugged post apocalyptic look they do in the story. They aren't wearing the wallpaper of the house as clothing. Their tech looks very complete and not a mad scientist patchwork of 80s home devices, steam punk machines and magic.

The Survivors of the story are badass. The ones in the set look like just pop references

[mgrnA]

very well put that the survivors feel out of place thematicaly. they use contemporary technology straight up from ghostbusters while the plain looks like gothic/renesance horror house. they could have made them more similar looking to the plane so they would not stick out so much. instead of modern headphones they could have used ones looking like ones from end of 19 century. traped in the screen uses that aesthetic for the box the screen is set into and it works well.
btw i thought they do normal d20s instead of spindowns since dnd set. i wonder why they switched back.

[TheDirtyPineapple]

Feels like this was supposed to be a Ghostbusters universes beyond that spiraled out of control.

[kradwolf]

I appreciate the new double locked rooms on the enchantments to stop people from cheating them. I can't play a lot of my mono-red decks anymore since the amount of must remove enchantments have power crept so hard the last 2 years. I hope they give red better answers to enchantment removal than just chaos warp effects. I guess with the new multicolor lands, I can take this chance to start playing more than 2 or 3 color decks.

Duskmourn the plane has got be ended poetically by being Eldrazi'd.

[jamieritch]

I'm not a horror fan but I think most of the set is super cool. The theme fits magic for a lot of the art, all of the 'evil creature' type stylings are really cool to me.

[chudleycannonfodder]

I could see the doomsday demon working in a black green deck from these packs. You’ve got the elf Druid that can tap black and I think one of the rooms (ironically one you said didn’t look good for limited) made it so you could tap lands for any color.

Edit: lol shouldn’t have paused when I did; could have waited ten seconds to hear you bring it up!

[lowidex]

Say His Name he appears
i see a lot of reference there
Beetlejuice, Bloody Mary, Candyman and Joe Hendry and more

[gallowsspecter]

I keep hearing that people feel the survivors feel out of place thematically for the set and they’re certainly entitled to that opinion, my dissenting opinion, however, is that they’re focusing too much on the narrow theme of the set as just “horror” or “a haunted house”. The set features horror and horror movie callbacks but my main argument is that the set isn’t about those things. It’s about nostalgia, about the loss of a past that can’t be recovered. Old movies, archaic technology and fashions, ghosts that haunt us metaphorically and literally. A house you left behind filled with things you may have never even experienced but that were around all the same. Idk I think they def fit in but that’s just me.

something I'll note, I actually hate how the packaging for the promo card is now opaque
I know it's not a big deal, but if you decided that your sealed pool didn't fit your promo card and you didn't end up using it, you could know what it is and just keep it in the packaging to keep it mint, now you literally must open it to see what you got.
I know this is a small nitpick, but I'm personally not a fan of all the extra cardboard being slapped on the prerelease boxes that makes them less useful as storage devices and the shift to an opaque and designed card package for the promos is just a strict downgrade that has no reason to happen. And tbh I probably wouldn't care if this wasn't the 1, 001st way that wotc has subtly changed mtg to give less value to players at higher and higher costs.
complaining nitpick out of the way, I'd absolutely yolo doomsday excruciator if my sealed pool could work it
Reanimator, G/B with mana-fixing dorks, mono-black, Manifest Dread, there's a fair few limited builds in this set that could play it, and some could even play it and bypass the cast clause, leaving you with a draw accelerating flying beater

[Phantasmagoria-mosz]

The jolly balloon man always reminds me of this 80s movie called killer clowns from outer space.
I am so exited for this set to fully release

[Lollipolluza]

THE PERRELEASE FINDER WAS A LIFE SAVER <3

[TheKarenWars]

I only buy singles for EDH but this set looks very pretty. Sometimes you get old and all your friends stop playing magic 😭

[geezlueaze]

Universes Beyond : Ghostbusters x Goosebumps 😅

[simplyprism]

I dint care about lore at all, I care about playability. Is it a fun card? Is it balanced for what it is? These matter to me I don't know any magic lore and when I tried to learn it I fell asleep out of boredom. I like the card game
