2026 will be a busy year for Magic: The Gathering, marking a turning point in both the card game’s narrative and seeing how far the game can go with Universes Beyond. In this article, we share our first impressions of everything announced at MagicCon Atlanta!
- Seven Sets in One Year: Universes Beyond Fatigue Sets In
- Lorwyn Eclipsed’s Most Important Product Isn’t in Lorwyn
- The Strixhaven Book is a good start, but we need more multimedia projects
- Marvel Super Heroes seems like the end of a bitter partnership
- The Hobbit could define Universes Beyond’s future
- Reality Fracture could be Planar Chaos 2.0, or the gateway to a Reboot
- Star Trek has a long challenge ahead
- Wrapping Up
I imagine reality fracture to be the last “magic” set. Everything after it will be UB.
Thats the fear, isnt it? I fucking loved New Cappena and would have loved to go back there in the future, but the future is grim
I won’t be surprised if that’s where WOTC ends, but I don’t think it’s going to happen that quickly.
I agree, I think odds are in favor of that set being a “break” where we see UB/other IP characters as planeswalkers. Spun as “a silly what if?” scenario but then ultimately and always planned as the full transformation.
