Ahead of the official preview season for the upcoming Magic: The Gathering set, Dominaria United, what appears to be a black mythic rare has been shared to Reddit.
Reddit user ComboBreach shared the image to both the MagicTCG and MTGRumors subreddits earlier today, stating that they received it “from a friend.” While the image quality is low, many are speculating that the leak is authentic based on specific qualities like the unique artwork and watermark. Other users point to the power/toughness alignment and other spacing issues as indicators that it is fake.
From what we’re able to make out, the card appears to be titled “Sheoldred, Insidious Conqueror” with abilities that read:
Ward – Discard two cards.
Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, draw a card. This ability triggers only once each turn.
Whenever a nontoken creature an opponent controls dies or an opponent discards a creature card, put that card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. This ability only triggers once each turn.
While WotC has yet to confirm or deny the authenticity of this card, it would fit previous story patterns for the Phyrexian Praetor to appear on Dominaria.
