Magi-Nation Duel 2022 Updates (Part 1)

 Welcome to another Magi-Nation Duel community update.  There's quite a bit of found discussion on old cards existing, and fans are making new art and card design.  Check out the history articles below on Tacos and pop-culture, and we hosted another tournament! 

Fan Content and Discussion 

User/16BitShinobi has found an interesting discovery for the game, that in the Base Set, there are some cards missing in foil for 1st Edition.  We knew Only uncommon Magi and Creatures were printed in foil in 1st ed, but some cards were released as promos later.  However, there seem to be no foils, promotional or otherwise, of:

• Baloo Root

• Channeler's Gloves

• Dream Balm

• Mirror Pendant

• Relic Mirror

If you have seen any of these foil in 1st edition (not unlimited!), please contact them or comment below!  It is highly unlikely that they exist in the game!  

User/Zucriyamsuna found a list of Base Set demo cards that are not listed online (on BlueFurok.com or elsewhere).  

list of the demo cards that are not on Blue Furok:

• Thunder Hyren

• Orwin

• Yaki

• Deep Hyren

• Giant Parathin

• Corf Pearl

• Gruk

• Strag

• Agovo

• Cave Hyren

• Ormagon

• Colossus

• Book of Ages

• Water of Life

Edit: User TopDeck sent us scans of these demo deck cards missing!  

 

Are there any others?  We'd love to see the images of things not found yet!  And speaking of Colossus from the demo decks, have you looked at its flavor text? 

 

Who is Wyloce?  Were they a previous Regis of Arderial, or was this just a playtest name that got erased?  We may never know.  

We have a few users making the regional symbol pins!  

Check out their designs so far:

Rich Werner has had new commission pieces for the world, take a look at these sketches!

Found relics from the Vault of Knowledge!

A user u/Frisbey posted their story of visiting 2i in 2003:

I travelled to WA and stopped by 2i while we were there. we got to meet Matt Holmberg, got a print off of the Rainbow Hyren in progress and he signed it. Got a sheet of uncut decks (signed), and a few other cards (signed). we got to rummage through "The Vault" for a bunch of stuff. it was so fun. I miss this game, haha! He also pulled up the PSD file for Blizzard Core, and he proved to us that there was indeed a drawing of a taco in the under layers

They mentioned Tacos!  Check out all the taco art references below in two articles!

Fans found this image from the defunct Brazilian Magi Nation page! 

A user from an in-person play community showed that they still had images of the Magi-Nation League activity sheets.   The secret message by Ulk actually ties into the story, and the learn to draw magi is a great source material for how magi were initially designed! 

This blog also published various articles!  Learn about the hidden tacos in the card art, and read up on all the references in the game's cards and flavor text! 

Artists and Art of official sources all compiled!
