The founding dragons have invited you back to school on Arcavios, so choose whether you’ll be aligning with Silverquill, Prismari, Witherbloom, Lorehold, or Quandrix, make sure you have your school supplies, and put on your first day of school outfit. With gorgeous new art treatments, and cool new products to encourage different play styles, our trip back to school will be filled with learning, and growth (we hope)!

Fill your new school backpack with some of these must have products!
Deck Building
- 5 New Commander Decks: This set Wizards is leaning into the commander decks, and giving us one for each of the school houses. Grab your favorite color or theme!
- Secrets of Strixhaven Booster Box and Packs: We’re exploring more of the dangerous and gloriously magical plane and Boosters are an excellent way to do that. Look for a Mystical Archive spell in every booster!
- Secrets of Strixhaven Bundle: The classic bundle with a spindown die, and it’s usual packs. No one’s mad about taking an easy class.
Secrets of Strixhaven Draft Night: The new Draft Night products give you even more ways to play with your friends. Just don’t stay up too late on a school night.
For the Collectors
- Secrets of Strixhaven Collector Boosters: For our wonderful collectors we have the classic Collector Boosters. Maybe you’ll pull that expensive card you’re hunting for so you don’t have to pay tuition.
- Secrets of Strixhaven Codex Bundle: This is a new product with the Secrets of Strixhaven release. And we are excited to see if it will past the standardized testing (just kidding, it’s just us, and if we like it).
Prismari-esque Art Treatments
- Art Treatments: Borderless Cards, Special Guests, and Japanese-language Mystical Archive cards will be printed in the Silver Scroll foil treatment which we haven’t seen since Lord of the Rings!
- Beautiful Variant Prints: As per usual we can look forward to some incredible showcase art.
- Talisman Cycle Reprints: We are excited to see the talisman cycle reprinted with beautiful house themed art!
End Step
We’re super excited to head back to school and uncover the Secrets of Strixhaven! Join us in celebrating the return to this classic plane on April 24th!
