Explorers of Ixalan

Annual Innovation Sets

New 02 Mar 2019 Asked by themartiangeek 40 Comments

What was the innovation set for each year? I'm guessing 2019 - Modern Horizons, 2018 - Battlebond, 2017 - Explorers of Ixalan or Archenemy 2, 2016 - Conspiracy 2, 2015 - ???, 2014 - Conspiracy, 2013 - Modern Masters, 2012 - Planechase 2, 2011 - Commander, 2010 - Archenemy, 2009 - Planechase, 2008 - From the Vault, 2007 - Duel Decks, 2006 and earlier - none?


2017 was Unstable. 2015 was Modern a Masters 2015. Some innovation products become product lines so it can be confusing.

Explorers of Ixalan Feedback

New 19 Jan 2018 Asked by chetskolos 30 Comments

I'd didn't get to play in the pre-release, but I did play Explorers of Ixalan with a couple of friends last weekend. The tiles add an additional level of fun to the games. I played once as the vampires and once as pirates. This weekend I will pick up the Rivals of Ixalan Planeswalker decks and add them to the box as alternative decks to play with. As a lapsed player I'm definitely one of the targets with these products and this one is a win for me. High fives to all involved.


High fives to be applied.

Official Pronunciation

New 15 Oct 2017 Asked by nolongerbreathedin 81 Comments

I watched that ‘Exploring Explorers of Ixalan’ video, and I winced when it started with “Explorers of Ihcksalawn”. Seriously, it's not that hard: is pronounced /ʃ/ in Central American languages, so it's closest to ‘eesh-UH-luhn’, but the most important thing is the consonant. Or is there a different official pronunciation?


The official pronunciation was what the video used. We use the same phonetics for all set names. We don’t want players to have to know which culture is the inspiration for a set in order to pronounce the name correctly.
