Every Upcoming Set Announced For MTG

Magic: The Gathering is always changing. A new set, a new Commander deck, or even a new card can shake things up massively, and there’s always something else on the horizon.

It can be tricky to keep tabs on what is coming to Magic: The Gathering. With products announced through to 2026, here’s everything currently revealed for the game.

Updated October 30 at 11:15 GMT by Joe Parlock: 2025’s sets have been fully revealed now, including crossovers with Spider-Man and Final Fantasy, a death race in Aetherdrift, and the return of the clans in Tarkir: Dragonstorm.

Latest Release: Duskmourn: House Of Horror – September 27, 2024

After the quaint and pastoral landscapes of Bloomburrow, Duskmourn is one heck of a tonal whiplash. Duskmourn is a haunted house, warped beyond recognition by the ancient demon Valvagoth.

Durkmourn is inspired by ‘70s and ‘80s horror, a remarkably modern setting for Magic’s multiverse. Expect plenty of TVs, Walkmans, sneakers, and bum bags alongside some of the most macabre monsters we’ve ever seen in Magic.

Duskmourn is launching with four Commander decks, and marks the debut of a new kind of bundle: The Nightmare Bundle. This includes both Play and Collector boosters, a brand-new “Nightmare Booster”, a glow-in-the-dark spindown dice, and a collection of foil full-art lands.

Foundations – November 15, 2024

Magic: The Gathering’s Standard format hasn’t been in the best place since the pandemic, with people flocking to Commander, Modern, or Pioneer to play in paper instead. Wizar’ds recent goals have been all about improving Standard, and Foundations is the culmination of that plan.

While other sets are only legal in Standard for three years, Foundations is intended to be the ground floor for the format, and will remain legal for as long as Wizards thinks it needs to be (until at least 2029). Containing a mix of reprints and brand-new cards and designed specifically for new players to learn to play, it’s somewhat similar to the core sets of old, but longer-lasting.

Alongside Play and Collector boosters, Foundations will also have a Beginner Box and a Starter Collection – two ways of learning the game, starting with the basics and progressing into more complex aspects of Magic.

Innistrad Remastered – January, 2025

The first set in a year is usually a reprint-focused ‘remastered’ set. In 2024 it was Ravnica Remastered, in 2023 it was Dominaria, and in 2022 it was Innistrad: Double Feature, a set so poorly received Wizards is heading back for a second attempt at a best-of set based on one of the game’s most popular planes.

Innistrad Remastered brings cards from every previous visit to Innistrad, a world of Werewolves, Spirits, Vampires, and Zombies. Including cards from the original block, Shadows Over Innistrad block, and Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow, this should be the carefully curated draft environment we all hoped Double Feature would be.

It’s even been revealed that the set will included one of the game’s best Vampire commanders, with the original Edgar Markov being one of the key chase cards of the set.

This is likely going to also be the first remastered set to include double-faced cards, as they are a core part of Innistrad’s identity.

Aetherdrift – February 14, 2025

The first of a whopping six Standard-legal sets in 2025, Aetherdrift is an Omenpath-fuelled death race across three planes. Each team of racers will take up one of the ten colour pairs, making this a faction set in disguise.

As we whizz about Kaladesh, Amonkhet, and the main set debut of Muraganda, Aetherdrift will feature plenty of synergies for artifacts and, in particular, Vehicles.

It’s a nice change of pace after the enchantment-heavy Duskmourn, and seeing former planeswalker Daretti make a return after so long away is always appreciated.

As it’s a major set, Aetherdrift will launch with the full array of Play and Collector boosters, bundles, and Commander decks in February.

Tarkir: Dragonstorm – April 11, 2025

Tarkir has long been one of the settings players have most frequently asked for a return to, and it’s finally happening after a decade away in Tarkir: Dragonstorm.

This set is meant to combine the key things we loved about the last two major sets there. While the three-colour clans were erased from history in the original Tarkir block, they return in Dragonstorm, alongside the ferocious Dragons that made Dragons of Tarkir so good in its own way, too.

So far we’ve not seen any cards from it, but reveals have confirmed that Ugin and Sarkhan Vol are both back. Why is Ugin not keeping watch over Nicol Bolas? Who knows, but Sarkhan looks like he’s having the time of his life.

Though we’ve not heard about precon decks yet, the five clans would be the perfect way to fit in 2025’s major Commander release.

Final Fantasy – June 13, 2025

Final Fantasy marks a major turning point for Magic: The Gathering. It’s the second full Universes Beyond crossover set following on from Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, but it’s more important than that.

With this set, Universes Beyond is becoming Standard legal, and by extension also legal in Modern and Pioneer.

Final Fantasy will feature cards based on every mainline numbered game, up to and including Final Fantasy 16. Art revealed so far confirms the likes of Emet, Kefka, Tidus, Yuna, and Sephiroth, as well as icons of the series like Moogles.

We’ll also be getting Commander decks, bundles, and Play and Collector boosters in what is described as the most pieces of Final Fantasy art ever released for a single game.

It’ll be interesting to see the impact it has on the game, and if FF15’s Ignis isn’t a new Food token-centric legendary, I’ll be very disappointed.

Edge Of Eternities – August 1, 2025

Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty in 2022 showed us that Magic: The Gathering can do sci-fi, and Edge of Eternities is taking that a step further. We’re blasting off for a space-based set full of dogfighting ships, planets, and cyborgs.

We currently know very little of Edge of Eternities, other than that it will introduce Aliens to Standard for the first time and feature the return of Tezzeret. He was last seen working both for and against Phyrexia during its invasion of the multiverse, so he could be up to practically anything.

With this set, Standard will rotate again and we’ll say goodbye to Dominaria United, The Brothers’ War, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, March Of The Machine, and March Of The Machine: The Aftermath.

This will be the final rotation until early 2027, when it starts following calendar years instead of Autumn releases.

Spider-Man – TBA 2025

The second of three Universes Beyond sets planned for 2025 is also the first major crossover with Marvel, which was announced almost two years earlier. Showcasing Spidey, his allies, and of course his villains, it’s interesting to see a whole set focused on just one part of the Marvel universe.

As with Final Fantasy, Spider-Man will be legal in Standard, Modern, and Pioneer, which means it’ll enjoy the full tentpole product lineup of boosters, decks, bundles, and boxes. It’ll also likely receive at least a few Secret Lair releases as well, as you can’t have someone as big as Spider-Man and not go all out on it.

We don’t have a concrete release date for Spider-man yet, but it’ll likely launch in the same slot as 2024’s Duskmourn: House of Horror, around late September.

Unannounced Universes Beyond Set – TBA 2025

The final Standard-legal set of 2025 is also the one we know the least about. Currently codenamed the UUB – Unannounced Universes Beyond –, it’s a full crossover set akin to Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy, and Spider-Man. The only catch is we don’t know what it is yet.

We do know it isn’t Marvel, as head designer Mark Rosewater has confirmed as much. It’s also a new property we’ve not seen in Magic before, which rules out Warhammer, Lord of the Rings, Arcane, Assassin’s Creed, Fallout, Doctor Who, Fortnite, Tomb Raider, Stranger Things, and Street Fighter.

Guesses so far range from Avatar: The Last Airbender to Star Trek, but it’ll be a long time before we get confirmation of exactly what it is.

“Return To Lorwyn” – Q1 2026

These images are from previous trips to Lorwyn (and its evil version, Shadowmoor), as nothing has been shown of this yet.

The first Standard set of 2026 takes us back to another heavily requested plane, with the Celtic fantasy of Lorwyn making a surprise return. Unfortunately, the announcement of the Unannounced Universes Beyond set at 2024’s MagicCon: Vegas pushed back Lorwyn from late 2025 to early 2026.

Lorwyn wasn’t a popular set when it first launched, but its mix of Celtic imagery, the introduction of Kindred themes, and its Fairies, Elves, Kithkin, Goblins, and Merfolk made it one of its most unique. We’ve seen poorly received first outings come back as all-timers a lot lately, with both Kamigawa and Ixalan, so perhaps Lorwyn is next on that list?

Lorwyn should launch with Play and Collector boosters and a set of Commander decks, but with so long until its release, there is every chance the product lineup could change by then.

“Return To Arcavios” – Q2 2026

These images are from 2021’s Strixhaven: School of Mages.

The farthest-away set we know about is a return to Arcavios, the plane where 2021’s Strixhaven: School of Mages is based. Though the name suggests we could see more of the wider plane, it will also include a return to the Strixhaven school and its five colleges.

Strixhaven has had a lasting impact on Magic, with many of its characters since popping up in other sets – Quintorius Kand in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, and Zimone Wola in Duskmourn, for instance. We can probably expect another set focused on instants and sorceries, and probably also the return of well-received mechanics like magecraft.

This will likely be the third set to launch in 2026, after an unannounced one early in the year, and Lorwyn a few months after that. It should include Play and Collector boosters, and Commander decks, but with well over a year until we start seeing more of it, Magic could be very different by then.
