[TSP Spoiler] Beyond the physical realm

There are wars fought in plain sight among the ruins of Dominaria, and then there are conflicts fought in the spaces between realities. Slipping past physical walls and ordinary steel, these elusive phantoms from the Rath overlay wage combat on a completely different existential frequency where traditional blockers are useless: encounter Shadow!

Shadow shifts combat to an entirely separate plane of existence. Creatures with Shadow can only block, or be blocked by, other creatures with Shadow. Standard guards with only Defender are completely bypassed by these elusive phantoms!

A secret war is unfolding right beneath our noses. How do you plan on stopping an army you can’t even touch? Share your wildest theory-crafting ideas and let us know which Shadow threats you hope are featured in this new set!

It would be super cool if you could update the “which PWs are available” part of the FAQ.

It’s difficult to get excited about new stuff when you can’t even keep up with the boring basic admin stuff. It’s pretty easy to set up recurring weekly reminders on a calendar app so it’s kind of concerning that you can’t keep up with it @Magic_PQ_Support_Team it doesn’t inspire confidence, you know?

Does creatures with shadow attack in a separate combat phase or is it combat as we know it today?

Same phase, they just interact differently with the combat-centered keywords.

Note that the in-game reminder text for Shadow differs from the rules listed in this thread…

In the first post here, it says ‘Creatures with Shadow can only block, or be blocked by, other creatures with Shadow’

In game, the reminder text says ‘Shadow: This creature can only be blocked by other creatures with Shadow’
