Scheduled to drop into local game stores through prerelease events on Nov. 11, The Brothers’ War features Teferi going back in time to discover secrets long buried from the brutal war caused by Urza and Mishra. The official trailer for the upcoming Standard-legal set was revealed during the BRO preview panel at Magic30, showcasing a battle between Teferi and Ajani. 

The trailer begins with Nissa holding a Powerstone, confronted by Ajani. The Leonin planeswalker, Ajani Goldmane, was corrupted within the Dominaria United set, becoming a Phyrexian sleeper agent

Attempting to travel back in time, Teferi is confronted by Ajani and a non-responsive Nissa. An epic battle between the two planeswalkers breaks out, with Ajani having a physical advantage over Teferi. The Leonin hit Tefieri with Lightning Helix, almost breaking him. But Teferi wasn’t done, casting what might have been a Teferi’s Response

Ajani is cast out of the stained-glass window by Teferi and allegedly falls to his death. The passing of the great planeswalker is reinforced with imagery of a broken pane of glass featuring Jaya’s face, who fell to her death during the events of Dominaria United. 

Teferi grabs the Powerstone and activates the time-traveling machine. But what about Nissa and did Ajani truly perish, or will he return free of Phyrexian control? 

Players can get into The Brothers’ War set when it digitally releases on Nov. 15 and globally on Nov. 18. Prerelease events for the BRO set will start on Nov. 11 at local game stores.
