Upcoming MTG Sets 2024-2026 - Card Game Base (2025)

Looking forward to upcoming MTG sets? That’s great, because in this article, you’ll find all currently available information about future Magic sets. We’ll take a look at all Standard and supplemental sets that are coming out in 2024. Additionally, there are some news about sets releasing in 2025 and 2026 also.

For each set, we’ll provide a short description of what to expect. If that’s not enough for you – don’t worry, and just click on the appropriate spoilers page (where available). There you’ll find, not just spoilers, but also everything else we know about the set.

Let’s get right to it.

Upcoming MTG Sets 2024

In 2024, four main sets will be released.

  • Murders at Karlov Manor (Murder mystery set on Ravnica)
  • Outlaws of Thunder Junction (Wild West)
  • Bloomburrow (Anthropomorphic animals’ world)
  • Duskmourn: House of Horror (Modern horror)

The first two, back in February and April 2024. Thus, we’ll only examine the upcoming two sets, which are both set on brand-new worlds. So, if you’re a fan of exploring different planes, you’re going to enjoy the rest of this year’s Magic sets.

Bloomburrow is also a brand-new world. It’s full of anthropomorphic animals, which are the main characters of the set. There are absolutely no humans on the entire plane.

The animals are made in their real-world sizes, but they do use clothes, weapons, and tools. You’ll encounter rabbits, birds, mice, raccoons, squirrels, wolves, and many more.

It’s expected that this set will be one of the most charming and heartwarming Magic sets ever. The art is both warm, and full of many fantasy elements. The set also introduces another part in the overarching story, called the Dragon Arc.

Duskmourn: House of Horror

Now if the previous set was lovable and wholesome, this is the exact opposite of that, with the theme being modern horror. (Think seventies/eighties horror genre.)

Horror sets aren’t new to Magic, as both New Phyrexia and Innistrad feature that theme. However, Duskmourn is quite distinct from them, as it’s actually one giant, creepy house, with weird rooms, scary corridors, and of course monsters from your darkest nightmares.

The last main set of 2024 is bound to be terrifying.

Foundations

  • Release date: November 15, 2024
  • MTG Foundations Details

But wait, there’s more! In November, a special set will be released, called Foundations. It will be reminiscent of core sets of old, but it won’t be draftable. All cards in the set (new, plus a lot of reprints) will be legal in Standard until 2029. They will bypass the regular Standard rotation.

The goal is to keep a pillar (or a foundation) of Standard legal cards for a long time. This way, it’s easier to make products for beginners, as cards in products such as Starter decks will be legal for a long time. That will hopefully result in less confusion for newer players.

Iconic cards, such as Llanowar Elves and Day of Judgment have already been confirmed.

Supplemental Releases 2024

Supplemental releases are sets within the MTG universe, but not a part of the Standard legal sets. In 2024, there was only one such set, but it was a big one. We’re talking, of course, about the iconic:

Modern Horizons 3

Modern Horizons sets brought brand-new cards directly into the Modern format, alongside a few reprints.

The third installment of Modern Horizons includes double-faced cards, which wasn’t the case with the previous two. We saw creatures transforming into planeswalkers, like Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student, as well as double-faced spell lands.

The set is designed for experienced drafters, and is draftable on Arena! That’s right, this was the first MH set, released on Magic’s newest digital platform.

Universes Beyond 2024

Universes Beyond sets are a part of other franchises, which make a collaboration with Magic. This year, two such sets are appearing:

  • Fallout (already released)
  • Assassin’s Creed

Fallout

  • Fallout Commander Decks

The first Universes Beyond release in 2024 featured Fallout, the popular post-apocalyptic gaming franchise. There were gangs of bloodthirsty raider, towering super-mutants, irradiated monsters, deadly robots, humanity struggling for survival, and more.

This wasn’t a full set release, but instead featured four Commander precons.

Assassin’s Creed

  • Release date: July 5, 2024
  • MTG Assassin’s Creed Spoilers

Another gaming franchise is coming to Magic in 2024. That’s Assassin’s Creed from Ubisoft. The cards will depict characters and moments from all games set in this franchise. There will be both new cards and reprints. (We’re almost certainly getting an Assassinate, right?)

Contrary to the Fallout cards, these will be also legal in Modern. Instead of the Commander decks, you’ll be able to get these cards in a new kind of booster, called Beyond boosters.

Not much is currently known about the Beyond boosters, apart from the fact that they aren’t draftable. Once more information is available, you’ll be able to find it here.

Upcoming MTG Sets 2025

As usual, year 2025 also features four main sets. Since these are still a long while away, we only now some basic information about them, as well as their code names, which are just placeholders for the actual names. They are:

  • “Tennis”
  • “Ultimate”
  • “Volleyball”
  • “Wrestling”

This doesn’t give you much info about the sets, so let’s explore each one in more detail.

Tennis – Racing World

  • Release date: Q1 2025

The first main set of 2025 if bringing racing to Magic, and is actually happening on three different planes. This is possible due to the Omenpaths from Phyrexian invasion.

So, the folks from these three planes will be competing on the Death race with their race cars of different sorts. You should expect a lot of vehicles in this set.

While we don’t know which planes will be featured, we got a hint. Two of the planes we’ve already been to, but haven’t returned to them yet. The third plane we saw on the cards, but we never actually visited it. Based on that, our best guesses are Kaladesh, New Capenna, and Vryn.

Ultimate – Return to Tarkir

  • Release date: Q2 2025

After four main sets of new planes, here’s a returning one. We are going back to Tarkir.

This was a popular plane, but it showed two very different faces. In Khans of Tarkir, there were no dragons, and the focus was on the clans. In Dragons of Tarkir, the situation is reversed.

In this set, we’ll get the best of both worlds, so both dragons and clans. While the set will be reminiscent of the old Tarkir, it will also come with a brand-new twist.

Volleyball – Space Opera

  • Release date: Q3 2025

Third main set of 2025, has a very unusual theme: space opera. It will lean heavily into the science fiction aspect. It also begins the third part of the overarching story, but we don’t even know its name yet.

You’ll notice that the further we look into the future the less information there is. That’s due to the fact that a lot of things could change between now and then. Additionally, knowing what’s happening in this set, could spoil the story from the previous sets.

Wrestling – Return to Lorwyn

  • Release date: Q4 2025

Lorwyn is the oldest plane, that didn’t get a return set. It’s a charming plane, themed around Celtic lore. Similarly to the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, this set will try to bring back the things the players loved about the original set, with new additions. Therefore, the set should feel like a fresh experience, and not just as a rehash.

Supplemental Releases 2025

Currently, we know about a single supplemental release in 2025, and that is:

Innnistrad Remastered

This is another fan-favorite Magic plane. So far, seven Magic editions were set on Innistrad. Remastered version will use fan favorites from all of them and repack the cards into new and exciting draft environment.

Get ready for a fresh batch of zombies, werewolves, spirits, vampires, angles, and more.

Universes Beyond 2025

There’s not much information about Universes Beyond in 2025, apart from two franchises that you might’ve heard of.

Marvel

  • MTG Marvel Spoilers

It’s true, the iconic heroes from comics and movies are getting their very own Magic cards. You’ll probably be able to use Iron-Man, Thor, Hulk, Spiderman, and many other characters as your commanders.

This is going to be a full set, similar to Lord of the Rings in 2023. You can expect different boosters, draft environment, and Commander decks. On top of that, the set is also coming to Arena.

Final Fantasy

This massive gaming franchise is coming to Magic. It will include characters and moments from each game, starting with the original, and going all the way to Final Fantasy 16.

The fans of FF will enjoy the fact that this is a full set release, just like the Marvel set we’ve just talked about.

Upcoming MTG Sets 2026

Main Sets

  • “Yachting” (Return to Arcavios / Strixhaven)
  • “Ziplining” (Conclusion of the Omenpath Arc)

Yachting – Return to Arcavios

You might be wondering what’s Arcavios, and that’s understandable, as no Magic set was named that. On the other hand, you probably know about Strixhaven, the magical college, which appeared in the set with the same name.

Well, Arcavios is the plane were Strixhaven is located. However, this time we’re going to explore the whole world, and won’t be confined to just the school.

Ziplining

This is the great finale of the overarching story that started with Wilds of Eldraine. This is a set similar to War of the Spark or March of the Machine lore-wise. It’s going to be the epic culmination of the story, that was present in Magic for three years.

Nothing else is known about it, because everything would be a major spoiler.

Conclusion

That’s all upcoming MTG sets that we know about so far. Once we get more information about these or any other sets, we’ll update the article. If you don’t want to miss it, make sure to follow us on Facebook or Instagram.

Until next time, have fun and may your favorite trope get its own Magic set soon.
