Asian Magic: The Gathering Outlets Reveal New Theros Beyond Death Cards


Various Magic: The Gathering social media accounts from Asia have officially revealed new cards from the forthcoming set Theros Beyond Death, including a rare blue enchantment that could exile a spell when you flash it and restrict your opponent from playing that same spell as long as it's in play, a "Think Twice" with Escape, a mill card with Escape, a white saga enchantment that looks like a fantastic sideboard against aggressive strategies, and a green creature that lets you gain life equal to your devotion to green when it enters the battlefield.

There's a couple of Korean official previews:
