Magic: The Gathering has always been a game of boundless imagination, where fantasy meets the infinite possibilities of the Multiverse. Now, in Edge of Eternities, we’re taking that adventure to the stars. This far-out set introduces players to the Sothera system, a mysterious realm at the farthest edges of the known Multiverse. Here, science and magic collide in a dazzling display of cosmic wonder, where ancient mysteries and futuristic warfare intertwine.

The Story
The Sothera system is a place of wonder and danger! A collection of planets, drifting asteroids, and celestial phenomena where factions vie for dominance. But something is stirring at the heart of this system, a power so vast it could reshape reality itself. As fleets of starships clash and ancient forces awaken, planeswalkers and explorers alike are drawn into a battle that spans the void between worlds.
Edge of Eternities isn’t just about grand cosmic conflicts. It’s also about the smaller, personal stories of those navigating this strange new frontier. You’ll encounter new allies, face off against ruthless adversaries, and uncover secrets buried in the depths of space.
The story of Edge of Eternities will unfold in a series of episodes on DailyMTG, with accompanying audiobooks on The Magic Story Podcast.
