Are you as confused as I am, dear readers? Cause I am. Thoroughly confused.
During, no, before Edge of Eternities came out, we saw the first spoilers for Avatar. Then EoE came out and we saw spoilers for Spider-Man, and more spoilers for Avatar. Then we saw spoilers for Lorwyn Eclipsed. Then Spider-Man came out and we were suddenly granted a ‘first look’ at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Which is planned for March.
Now that you’re as confused as I am, we will have to take our first look at an Avatar card. We’re a little over a month away from its release, but hey, 110 cards have been spoiled already, so why the hell not.
Redirect Lightning in itself is not a new idea, we’ve seen cards like Reroute and Shunt, but the little symbol in the top left corner might peek some players’ interests. It’s a lesson card, a mechanic we first saw in Strixhaven. Lessons itself don’t do anything specific, but the mechanic is connected to the Learn mechanic, as seen in cards like Eyetwitch. I just mentioned the fact that 110 cards of Avatar have been spoiled, but so far we haven’t seen any cards with Learn. Those will probably come later, and as a fan of surprising opponents with cards ‘from outside the game’ (hiya Karn!), I honestly can’t wait.
