WotC Spoiler for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms: Dungeon Mechanics.

No, Companions go in the sideboard.

Yes, but the concept of an extra card, outside of the main deck, that you always have on hand, was initially seen thematically as that commander type card.

That was pretty much the tipping point for where I said they had no desire to maintain a coherent competitive game.

I assume you mean through Companion, which was an absolute mistake.

No it's a reference to Emblems that Planeswalkers create, they go into the Command Zone in all formats. The Command Zone is for anything that can't be removed from the game via say exile I Commanders, Emblems, Schemes, Planes, and Pheonema.

"Venture" for how we interact with them (which remains a mystery). Very old school D&D sounding

"You must gather your creatures before venturing forth."

These Dungeon cards have me quite excited, because they look to be a very bold creative piece of game design (fingers crossed), but also I'm thinking the art is going to be lit.

Aren't they likely to be similar to the quest (?) cards in the Theros set?

What strikes me, as someone who only occasionally dabbles in MtG is the use of the word "the". It seems to imply that there is only ever one dungeon, and there is never no dungeon in play.

That's not a thing. Do you mean sagas?

Probably. Hence the question mark. I don't play much MtG.

Actually I think he might have been referring to hero cards and that weird quest thing WotC did during the original Theros block?

Also possible. I'm referring to something I once briefly glimpsed!

So saga's automatically move down their list of effects each turn, there's nothing specific you have to do to progress them. Dungeons being double-sided + monsters having to 'venture' into them probably means there are conditions necessary to 'complete' a dungeon and flip it over.

Is this something you glimpsed in the recent Theros set last year, or at as part of a special event at a game store 8 years ago?
