Every Major Universes Beyond Set Coming To Magic In 2025 (That We Know Of)

Magic: The Gathering is a game with a pretty massive lineage. It’s been going for decades, with a story running consistently throughout that time and evolving characters and settings. But with a game that’s been going on as long comes the desire from other long-running properties to get a piece of that cardboard pie, which is where the (fairly recently established) Universes Beyond line of Magic products comes in.

Upcoming Universes Beyond Sets

 

Magic The Gathering: Final Fantasy

 

The first Universes Beyond set to release next year is the Final Fantasy set, which launches in June. While there are currently no previews of actual cards for the set, outside of some art, we do know that as of this set, every Universes Beyond set going forward will be legal in Standard format. We also know from designer Mark Rosewater that not only will the set be a ‘tentpole set’, meaning it’ll likely get commander decks and set boosters, but it’s also designed to be draftable. 

 

What little we do know about the release is that, like many recent Commander releases, the Commander decks side of things will have four different releases, each of which covers a separate mechanic and color identity. 

 

Magic The Gathering: Spider-Man

The upcoming Spider-Man Marvel set was announced during MagicCon Vegas in 2024, and is planned to release at an unspecified point in 2025, though judging by other set releases it’ll likely be the tail end of the year. Like all other Universes Beyond sets, this will be standard legal and thus will have Commander Decks in addition to the traditional boosters that are expected.

 

What’s unclear here is exactly what each Commander Deck will be, and what chase cards of the set will be. It’s likely that, at the very least, a deck will center around the villains of Spider-Man and a deck will feature around the more heroic figures such as Spider-Man himself and Mary Jane Watson.

 

Magic The Gathering: Unannounced Universes Beyond Set

 

This one is a complete unknown currently. All we know is the information we also know for other upcoming Universes Beyond releases: it’ll be standard legal, it’ll probably have four different Commander decks released and it’s very specifically not another Marvel set. We also know who the set lead of the release is: Chris Mooney, who posted the following on X :

 

We’ll probably have more information on what the set is in the first few months of next year, though it is interesting that Wizards of the Coast is holding the information so close to their chest. Might this be something on the same level as the Lord of the Rings release?
