Set Mechanics

On Eldraine, everyone has a part to play. Some spells and abilities in Wilds of Eldraine generate one of seven predefined Aura tokens called Roles, all but one of which have positive effects. Will the Young Hero save the day, or will they succumb to sinister machinations and be Cursed?

To survive in the Wilds, you might need to make a deal or two. That's what bargain is all about: sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token as you cast a spell with bargain, and in turn, receive a more powerful effect.

The Phyrexians have been defeated, and that's cause for merriment. Celebration is an ability word that highlights abilities that reward you for having two or more nonland permanents enter the battlefield under your control in a single turn.

Our return to Eldraine heralds the return of adventurer cards. Just as before, adventurer cards are permanent cards, but each has a set of alternative characteristics in a subset frame on the left of its text box. You may cast the card as its Adventure—if you do, you can cast it as a permanent later. Some adventurer cards in Wilds of Eldraine feature Adventures with different colors than their associated creatures or enchantments.
