Wizards of the Coast, makers of Magic: The Gathering also make the popular tabletop RPG, Dungeons & Dragons. Sets like the upcoming Secrets of Strixhaven are evidence that the two games may even have a shared universe. Now, as announced on Daily MTG, Wizards is dipping into their D&D well for a new Superdrop called Roll For Initiative.
Secret Lair is known for taking an existing Magic card and re-imagining it into a different art style or a Universes Beyond skin. The drops often feel bizarre, creative, unique, but this morning’s Chaos Vault drop was something entirely different.
The first pro tour of 2026 is now behind us and Christoffer Larsen is the victor. Larsen competed in best of 5 matches with his Dimir Excruciator deck. A third of all decks played in the Pro Tour were Badgermole Cub powered decks but the top 8 showcased a broader variety of different decks and playstyles
Pro Tour Hall of Famer, Kai Budde, aka “The German Juggernaut” has passed away. Wizards in a heartfelt tribute posted to Daily MTG announced the death of arguably the best competitive player in Magic: The Gathering history.
Wizards of the Coast in an exclusive given to Jason Fanelli at GameSpot has revealed the product line-up for its highly anticipated Universes Beyond set, Marvel Super Heroes. No new products were announced for the set but Marvel Super Heroes will have a wide array of options to choose from.
Secrets of Strixhaven is still a few months away but thanks to an exclusive given to Jason Fanelli at GameSpot at the Nuremberg Toy Fair, we now have our first idea of what to expect out of the next In-Multiverse set from Magic: The Gathering. April’s Secrets of Strixhaven has released most if not all of the product information for the set and shown off a few of the cards.
In a new lawsuit filed in a federal court in Rhode Island on January 21st, Hasbro is accused of artificially inflating the Magic: The Gathering market between 2021 and 2023. As reported by Corey Plante at Polygon, shareholders Joseph Crocono and Ultan McGlone allege that Hasbro made “materially false and misleading” public statements during earnings calls in that time.
Monday, we reported that over the prerelease weekend at least 30 cards were accidentally revealed. The mix-up of some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cards being packed into the promo slot for the Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease kits caused a firestorm of emotions varying in amusement to annoyance across all forms of social media. Since then, more cards found this way have been spoiled — so much so that unofficial online sources had revealed every rare and mythic rare in the set. In response, Wizards has added all 61 rare and mythic rare cards to the TMNT card gallery explaining, “they're already out there if you know where to look.”
Since 2015, the name Doug Bowser has been synonymous with Nintendo. The former president of Nintendo of America took the reins after Reggie Fils-Aimé left the position. Since then, Doug Bowser, who ironically shares his name with the king of the Koopas, has become a staple at Nintendo. Bowser left Nintendo at the end of 2025, marking the end of an era with Devon Pritchard taking the helm. Now, just a few weeks removed from his departure, Bowser has a new gig - sitting on the board of directors at Hasbro.
Lorwyn Eclipsed is a few days away from being released on paper but as of today, MTG Arena players can access the set digitally. Along with new Brawl decks, Cragg and Squen digital sleeves, and a new Midweek Magic event schedule, Wizards also announced on Daily MTG that the first MTG Arena Direct of 2026 is coming. This will allow Lorwyn Eclipsed to be the backdrop of players’ first opportunity of the year to win gems, packs, and other prizes.
Ninja Turtles may be known for hiding in the New York City sewers but it turns out they may also be hiding in your Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease kit. Prerelease events started on Friday, the 16th but many players quickly realized that their foil promos were actually cards from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that releases in March. This caused over 30 cards to be accidentally leaked ahead of schedule during the Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease.
In March 2024, Universes Beyond added the iconic video game franchise, Fallout, to its growing compendium of worlds with four pre-con Commander decks. A month later, Amazon released a television adaptation of the popular IP that was met with generally positive reviews. Currently, season 2 of Fallout is airing weekly on Prime Video with the last episode set to air on February 4th. This makes it the perfect time for Universes Beyond to revisit Fallout. As reported by Jason Fanelli at GameSpot, Wizards is doing just this with the Rad Superdrop.
With every set, a document is created during the design process called the “Vision Design Handoff Document.” Mark Rosewater, the lead designer for Magic: The Gathering along with the set’s Vision Design Lead will release that document as the release date draws near. Yesterday, Rosewater and Mark Gottlieb, the Vision Design Lead for Lorwyn Eclipsed released part 1 of the Vision Design Handoff Document. That document is available at Daily MTG.
As reported by Nick Miller at Star City Games, this past weekend, at SCG CON Atlanta, the Magic Spotlight event saw many Izzet Lessons decks and the breakout archetype, Simic Ouroboroid decks in play. Ultimately, it would be Kyle Nelson piloting a Bant Airbending deck that took home the win.
With the upcoming release of Lorwyn Eclipsed, we’re getting two new precon Commander decks that celebrate the duality of Lorwyn and Shadowmoor. Ashling, an elemental, will lead the Dance of the Elements deck while Auntie Ool, a boggart from Shadowmoor will lead the Blight Curse deck. As reported by Timothy Zaccagnino from Draftsim, the Blight Curse deck has an infinite combo that once it begins, instantly wins the game.
We’ve gotten the first major look at the first set of 2026, Lorwyn Eclipsed. The idyllic Lorwyn and gloomy Shadowmoor are bringing back familiar faces and nostalgic gameplay while also introducing new characters and mechanics. As announced by Matt Tabak at Daily MTG, there are a number of new and returning mechanics in Lorwyn Eclipsed. We’ll take a look at a few them today.
Few institutions had as big an impact on pop culture in the ‘80s as The Jim Henson Company. From Fraggle Rock and Sesame Street to Labyrinth and Dark Crystal, Jim Henson left an indelible mark on an entire generation. Now, with Lorwyn Eclipsed right around the corner, The Jim Henson Company is helping bring the iconic plane to life with the set’s trailer, a music video featuring all new puppets pulled straight out of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor.
The hotly anticipated return to the beloved plane of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor is mere weeks away and preview season is finally upon us. In today’s preview stream on YouTube and Twitch, Wizards of the Coast revealed a handful of cards — just enough to wet the palette. Immediately following that, 145 new cards were added to the official card gallery. With that many cards to explore, we’ll take a look at some of the cards making a big splash in Magic’s newest set.
Mark Rosewater is the head designer for Magic: The Gathering. He’s been working for Wizards of the Coast in some capacity for the last 30 years so he knows the ins and outs of Magic arguably better than anyone else at the company. He dispenses his vast knowledge and wisdom of all things MTG on his popular Tumblr blog, Blogatog.
Wizards of the Coast has announced some plans for the second most played format on MTG Arena — Brawl. Brawl, formerly Historic Brawl, is the 100 card format that most closely mirrors Commander on Arena. It was initially designed to be a fun casual format for building unique decks. According to the announcement by Jay Parker at Daily MTG, the format has increasingly become less casual and more competitive. In response, Wizards will be trying a variety of approaches to balance the format and make sure it is received well by the largest number of players.
