Secrets of Strixhaven releases on April 24th, and the set’s official story will begin in the very near future. Strixhaven is a magical university located on the plane of Arcavios. Secrets will be our second adventure set on the plane, with 2021’s Strixhaven: School of Mages introducing us to the plane. As such, I thought it would be a good …
Magic’s next set is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which releases on March 6th and is available for preorder here at Card Kingdom. Unsurprisingly, the Mutant, Ninja, and Turtle creature types are all quite prominent in the set. While “Mutant” might seem like the kind of creature type that is exclusive to Universes Beyond sets like TMNT and the upcoming Marvel …
Lorwyn is a fan-favorite plane despite not being well received on initial release. The hype for the revisit is building, but what about if you weren’t around for original Lorwyn / Shadowmoor sets? Here’s a quick rundown on inspiration and references in Lorwyn, from the original set through to the new Lorwyn Eclipsed. LORWYN IS CELTIC Let’s get the main …
Lorwyn Eclipsed comes out on January 23rd. While we’ve only gotten a glimpse at a few dozen cards in the set so far, the set’s official story came to a conclusion last week. In this article, I’m going to summarize this epic 7-part story into one digestible read. LORWYN-SHADOWMOOR: A PLANE OF DUALITIES It’s been a very long time since …
Light and shadow are no longer taking turns. In Lorwyn Eclipsed, the eternal day of Lorwyn and the endless night of Shadowmoor now exist side-by-side, their borders a shimmering, volatile aurora. Step across, and you don’t just enter a new land, you become a new person. Your memories rewrite themselves, your personality inverts, and the self you knew is left …
In terms of aesthetics, Magic has perhaps the broadest range of any tabletop game. And it gets broader all the time. From its high fantasy roots, traveling to different sets and planes have allowed us to see science fiction, westerns, classic mythology, magitek, cyberpunk, fairytales and even other pop culture IPs through Magic’s cardboard lens. But by far the most …
Happy Halloween week everyone! In observance of the holiday, it’s time for a spooky Magic article. Magic has a long history of designing cards and sets with horror themes. In fact, in the earliest days of Magic classic horror characters were lifted directly from the page and turned into Magic cards – like Frankenstein’s Monster and Headless Horseman. This practice …
The Eldrazi are some of the biggest (both literally and figuratively) villains in the lore of Magic: the Gathering. They are massively powerful colorless-aligned eldritch beings that hale from the unlivable space between planes known as the Blind Eternities.

Edge of Eternities releases on August 1st, and earlier this week we got the final chapter of the story. In this article, I’ll summarize the 11 chapter story into one digestible read. NEW PLANE, NEW STORY This story is set in a part of the multiverse we’ve never seen before – The Edge. It’s a space-like plane that surrounds the …
Slivers are one of Magic’s most iconic creature types and it looks like we are going to see them return in the very near future. This is because they were mentioned several times in Episode 2 of the Edge of Eternities story. While they may not actually return in that upcoming set, it would be highly unusual for them to …
