Happy Tuesday MTG peeps,

Some very cool news for MTG fans coming out of the Game Manufacturers Association (GAMA) 2018 annual trade show being held at the Peppermill Resort, Reno, Nevada this week.  WizKids revealed yesterday a themed board game - Magic: The Gathering Heroes of Dominaria Board Game, to be released later this year.  Specifically, there are to be two separate releases, a standard game in August, 2018, followed by a premium version in September, 2018.

The Standard set is to include 28 miniature tokens spanning well known creature types from Magic’s 25-year history such as Angels, Soldiers, Goblins, Zombies, Bears, Dragons, Dinosaurs, and more.  The highly detailed miniature, standing approximately 55 millimeters tall will include translucent parts some some of the tokens.
