In this exclusive we present two unpublished letters that are part of this long-awaited collection: The Raven Eagle and The Rock, ready to roar. Both faithfully reflect the spirit of The Last Airbender, combining design, narrative and unique mechanics that expand the possibilities of the game.
The Eagle Crow
The Eagle Raven comes to Magic: The Gathering, The Last Airbenderwith all the evil that characterized him in the series. This chimerical animal, a mixture of an eagle and a crow, owed its loyalty to the Combustion Mantaking center stage for having attacked a messenger falcon that carried the message of hope that the Avatar was alive.
Your letter is a black card, mana cost two colorless and one swamp. As a killer bird, it flies and has abilities related to its spirit. Whenever this creature enters or attacks, exile up to one target card from a graveyard (yours or an opponent's). If a creature card is exiled this way, create a clue token.
Clues are artifacts that, if you pay 2 mana and sacrifice them, you draw a card.
In addition to this, the raven eagle makes it so that whenever you draw your second card (for example, with the clue created) each turn, each opponent loses one life and you gain one life.
It is about a card focused on the Commander formatsince it has many graveyard synergies. The alternative art card version is an outline of its qualities as a creature.

The Rock, ready to roar
The Rock is one of the most powerful characters in the Earth Kingdom. This is a legendary creature that whenever it attacks, you control land X, where X is the number of creatures you control with power 4 or greater. What this new ability allows is that Target land you control becomes a 0/0 creature with haste (can attack that same turn without summoning sickness. Put X +1/+1 counters on it. When she dies or is exiled, return her to the battlefield tapped.
This card costs 3 colorless mana and a forest to create lands with counters. when we have creatures of strength 4 or more on the battlefield, something quite common in the color green. “The Rock, ready to roar” is a 4/4 creature, which it already has so that the land does not enter the battlefield without counters. A synergy that can fill the land field with power at the service of the Earth Kingdom.
These are the letters presented exclusively: The Raven Eagle and The Rockready to roar, two powerful additions that expand the universe of Magic: The Gathering x Avatar: The Last Airbender.
