Hello,
I haven't seen this spoiled but it was revealed a week ago.
EDIT: Video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce92hJyadDQ&list=PL3rP64NRtmbiIHJ21bPDM4KHBThTr-u9E&index=5
There are 5 videos total each revealing cards.
EDIT2 2:
I think the video was changed from UNLISTED to PRIVATE, man WOTC moves fast. Here is screenshot proof.

This is another practically perfect top-down design.
"This damage can't be prevented" probably would've been overkill, eh?
This already captures the feel really well.
Also would have been a flavor fail, sheild prevent magic missle in it's entirety
Well, I do hope Shield (the Magic card) is going to be more clever than just "prevent the next N damage", but that's a fair point.
If it's the 5th edition shield, it'll be along the lines of "choose one; target creature gets +0/+5, or prevent the next 5 damage that would be dealt to any target."
Also, you can counterspell Magic Missile. So.. uncounterable seems weird here. But it helps lean into its "always hits" mantra bit more.
I feel like it should have just not targeted instead of being uncounterable. Like, "choose up to three targets. Magic Missile does three damage divided as you choose to those targets". That way you can't redirect it and shroud doesn't stop it.
I wish it had had "if you completed a dungeon", or somehow cared about your character levels.
I hope shield spell stops this spell
“Prevent the next three damage that would be dealt to you, or counter Magic Missile”
Would have to "Exile target spell named Magic Missile", since this can't be countered.
I could be wrong but I believe there’s a ruling somewhere that if two affects contradict each other the more specific effect takes precedence
Edit: as it turns out, the “can’t” clause takes precedence
But if I’m totally wrong your solution is great haha
"more specific" is too vague a rule to judge anything by.
My dumb Runeterra player brain read this as Spellshield and I was about to say "of course it does". Then I realized this is the MTG sub... (I play both, but still)
Gets past Ward.
That's something I quite like about Ward: It makes can't be countered effects drastically less narrow and actually kinda cool.
makes them better counter-no cards
Source?
Unlisted YouTube video ad from June 25th for AFR, can I put the YouTube video link?

Thank you!
Can someone please post text? I'm not seeing what's supposedly being shown to us
Magic Missile 1RR
Sorcery (Uncommon)
This spell can't be countered.
Magic Missile deals 3 damage divided as you choose among one, two, or three targets.
"A tried-and-true favorite of many wizards, whatever their school"
Where're the Cheetoooooos?
I cast it on the Darkness.
Fork bolt
Yeah, where did you find this?

I have been waiting for this iconic card though I really don't like the 3 casting cost or sorcery speed, makes it kinda middle of the road of not being cheap removal and not a full on mass removal so its kind of iffy.
i wish it had some scaling. like XX(3) where X is the number of extra bolts. Wish it were also colorless but i can understand not giving everyone spot removal.
Yeah that would of been more interesting, what I would of liked to have seen is have cards like magic missle that scaled with the class cards. I mean the flavour of magic missle is that you get more missles as you level up so the idea that the card did more damage equal to your class card levels in play would of been pretty cool.
Did you learn this from Magic Bryan?
Playable or too expensive? Potential 3 for 1 is always spicy.

[[Arc Lightning]]'s been Standard-playable in the past, don't count this out.
And its functional reprint, Flames of the Firebrand
Arc Lightning - (G) (SF) (txt)
^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
This with Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, is kind of gross...
Not sure about for standard but this is so close to being better than exquisite firecraft which sees legacy play.
Arc Lightning is always a good Limited card, and you can't even counter this one! Nice and perfectly in flavor.

Given how many 3-toughness creatures there are in this set, this is going to be premium removal in draft.
Now the darkness has a reason to be scarred
I love that video. My playgroup quotes it constantly
I'm not even a D&D player and even I've heard that a ton. Is good quote.
what video?
Enjoy an all-time classic.
My first exposure to it was the promo video for Summoner that plays during the credits.
For real thought this was 8bit theatre for a bit.
you know that’s fucking dan harmon?
My old group quoted this and Steven Lynch's D&D endlessly
My new group does too
The fact the flavor text isn't "I attack the darkness" is a massive flavor fail in my opinion.
But Charlie Murphy is already dead
