Innistrad Remastered Spoilers: Every Card, Alt-Arts

Innistrad Remastered Spoilers: Every Card, Alt-Arts



It’s been a few years since we last saw Magic: The Gathering’s Innistrad. The eternal night almost allowed Werewolves and Vampires to take over the plane, but while they were beaten back, there are always other evils lurking in the dark.

Innistrad Remastered revisits Magic’s gothic horror world with a full reprint set bringing together the best of the Innistrad and Shadows Over Innistrad blocks, as well as 2021’s Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow. Expect monsters, Eldrazi, the occult, and lots of tricorn hats when it launches on January 25, 2025.

As a remastered set, Innistrad Remastered doesn’t include Commander preconstructed decks.
