"Sacrifice buyouts" - Creature cards which have triggered abilities that tell you to sacrifice them unless you pay a cost or perform an action (see Barrow Ghoul)."Graveyard order matters" - Cards which refer to the order of cards in a player's graveyard (see Spinning Darkness),.It contained the following previously used mechanics: Banding, Cumulative upkeep, Phasing, Flanking, and Swampwalk. Weatherlight contained no new named mechanics. However, the Weatheright design team embraced a theme that had nothing to do with the previous sets it is the first set where the graveyard is strongly mechanically relevant. Weatherlight was designed completely independently from the group that designed Mirage and Visions, but it was decided for coherency to use elements of the earlier two sets to make the third set feel like part of the block. Release events began on December 14, 2007. Weatherlight was retroactively released on Magic Online on December 12, 2007.
And Gerrard, of course, will have to live up to his own overwhelming responsibilities by facing his blood brother Vuel, who has changed his name to Volrath and sold out any semblance of goodness he had by becoming Yawgmoth's first in command. It doesn't help that captain Sisay has been kidnapped, and they have to travel to the plane of Rath to save her before they can complete their destiny. Only the reluctant leadership of Gerrard Capashen and the skills of Squee the cabin boy and Tahngarth the hulking minotaur will save the day.
The focal point of this weapon is a flying ship called Weatherlight, and its intrepid crew searches the planes to find all of the pieces of the Legacy before the invasion commences. When put together to assemble a powerful doomsday weapon, these artifacts will have the potential to destroy the dark powers that will try to invade the planet. The plane's only hope for survival is a cache of powerful artifacts known collectively as the Legacy. Weatherlight also set the stage for the books of the Rath Cycle storyline.įour thousand years after Urza and Mishra reopened the portal to Phyrexia, the evil lord Yawgmoth sits poised to invade his one-time home - Dominaria. The new approach to designing and marketing Magic proved to be a huge success both popularly and commercially. While previous sets only included allusions to an overarching story, Weatherlight was the first set to explicitly tell an ordered narrative focused on developed, archetypical characters. All boosters featured the same artwork from the card Steel Golem. The set was sold in booster packs containing 15 cards (1 rare, 3 uncommon, and 11 common). Among the information contained in the Tome are the components and intended operation of the Legacy itself. Its expansion symbol is the Thran Tome, an important artifact of the Legacy whose contents change depending on who reads it.
The set contains 167 black-bordered cards (50 rare, 55 uncommon, and 62 commons).
