Secrets of Strixhaven is Magic: The Gathering’s next mainline set after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dropped earlier this month. It’s a return to a fan-favorite in-universe Plane, where we’ll once again get to see the titular magic school, Strixhaven. Preorders are available now over on Amazon and Best Buy before the full set releases on April 24. The same type of sealed products you’d expect are available to pre-purchase, such as Play and Collector booster packs and boxes, all five Commander decks, bundles, Draft Night kits, and so much more. If you’re a Magic lore fan, there’s even a hardcover novel written by Seanan McGuire that takes us through the new story that’ll run you $21 (was $29) that comes out April 7.
Secrets of Strixhaven will once again focus on the Enemy-color pairs, each representing the five different colleges that make up the school’s student body, similar to Hogwarts houses for you Potter fans. As a set that focus on two-color pairings, you can expect the full set to feature plenty of multicolor cards that represent each college, as well as flavorful mono-colored cards with unique effects that use whatever the new mechanics will be. As a Limited format, you can also expect to focus your drafts and sealed pools on these color pairs. Some cards have already been revealed, like the new Red/ White Legendary Elder Dragon Lorehold, the Historian making his return, along with a much older Magic mechanic fans have been clamoring for for years – Miracle.
