[edit] Set Details

Worldwake is, like its predecessor Zendikar, centered around lands. Thematically it emphasizes Manlands and cards that turn lands into creatures.[1]

The promotional cards given to participants at the Pre-release, Comet Storm, and the Release event, Joraga Warcaller, both highlight the new mechanic for the set, multikicker.

[edit] Mechanics

The variant of Kicker called Multikicker is introduced. This variation allows for the kicker cost to be paid multiple times, with the effect repeated for each time it was payed. Landfall also returns but does not solely mark triggered abilities anymore. Some cards now do additional static effects if a land came into play this turn. Allies, Vampires with their bloodied mechanic, and the equipment theme to the Kor also return, as do Quests and Traps. New traps have new alternative costs; some decrease their costs depending on the magnitude of a certain event.

The set has a cycle of dual man-lands: Lands that can produce one mana of either of two allied colors and can be activated (for one mana of each of those colors and an amount of unspecified mana) to become an Elemental creature until end of turn. These lands come into play tapped.

The set also contains a new Planeswalker card representing Jace Beleren, called Jace, the Mind Sculptor. This is the first planeswalker to have four abilities, rather than the usual three, and also the first Planeswalker to have an ability that causes no loyalty to be added or subtracted when activated.

[edit] Marketing cards

Boosters of Worldwake come with a bonus sixteenth card that is either a "tips & tricks card" or a creature token from Worldwake'. One face of the Worldwake bonus card has one of ? different rules tips or is one of six different creature tokens. The other face has one of 13 advertisements for organized play programs, Rise of the Eldrazi, Duels of the Planeswalkers for Xbox Live, Magic Online, fat packs, A Planeswalker's Guide to Alara and Ultra Pro products for Magic.
