Maybe one day we’ll get four-player games too. It’s an Arena-only set, which means paper players won’t get to enjoy this, but it’s always nice to see more of MTG’s history being added to the digital version of the game. Shadows over Innistrad Remastered is going to be bringing a plethora of cards from the block into MTG Arena. Shadows over Innistrad Remastered (MTG Arena) The set’s pretty incredible, and we’re actually happy with the pricing of it as well - which is a novel experience at this point as a Magic fan. Our first MTG set of 2023 is a doozy, bringing together a collection of cards from a massive 27 different sets and distilling them into one draftable experience. Even without them, it looks as though we could be in for a lot of fun outside of Standard in MTG, especially when it comes to the Universes Beyond. We usually find out a few supplemental sets as the year goes on, so this list could grow as we get further into 2023.

Well, we’re actually really hoping for a Ragavan reprint, but we’ll see how it goes. Needless to say, a lot of Commander players are going to be hyped to be getting more of all of those creature types, and we’re just happy to see more monkeys in pirate hats. We’ve not been to Ixalan in a while, but it’s the plane of dinosaurs, pirates, vampires and merfolk. The first Eldraine set wasn’t especially well-received, so we’re hoping the setting, and the cards within it, might be less obnoxious this time around.Īh Ixalan, what a plane. Eldraine, for those who don’t know, is a fairytale-inspired plane complete with speedy gingerbread men and all sorts of magical creatures. We’re assuming that Wilds of Eldraine is going to serve as a proper palette cleanser after the doom and gloom of the Phryexians. It’s exciting, but we’re going to wait for more information before getting our hopes up too high. We’re expecting it to serve as a transitional set of some sort between how things were and how they’re going to be. March of the Machine: The Aftermath isn’t going to be a full-sized Standard MTG set, but will apparently be designed to help wrap things up. Watch on YouTube The cinematic trailer for Phyrexia: All Will Be One March of the Machine: The Aftermath We’re assuming that even a win here could be very costly though, because of the next Standard set in our list. March of the Machine will have us seeing the end of this Phyrexian war, whether the goodies win or the planes are changed forever. It’s an exciting - if slightly unsettling - prospect, and we’re excited to see how things change going forward. Our first MTG Standard set of 2023 began previewing cards fairly early, and it seems to mark a big turning point in the lore for the game, with a lot of heroes being processed and becoming Phyrexians. We’re also getting a sneaky extra set again, but we’ll talk about that when we get to it. It’s pretty exciting for lore nerds, and the cards look cool too, so we’re excited about all of the new sets this year. Based on what we’ve seen, it’s quite possible that the Phyrexians are about to take over and turn everyone into living machines. Lore-wise, MTG’s 2023 Standard sets is where it’s all happening this year. Watch on YouTube New to MTG?

Magic: The Gathering’s 2023 release schedule is absolutely filled to the brim with Phyrexians.
