Ravnica Remastered – Q1 2024
The very first product on the 2024 release schedule, in Q1 2024 is a set that celebrates one of Magic’s favorite settings, the metropolitan plane of Ravnica. Like other remastered sets such as Dominaria Remastered and Time Spiral Remastered, this set will be a bunch of reprints, so don’t rock up expecting to see brand new cards.
Reprints from all three Ravnica blocks will be featured in this set, and there will be a strong focus on the plane’s iconic guilds. Like Dominaria Remastered, there’ll be cards with retro-style frames.
Murders at Karlov Manor – Q1 2024
Our first premier MTG set of the year, coming in Q1 2024, is also Ravnica-related. This time, on our fourth visit to the plane, there’s a murdery mystery theme to the set. Who’s been murdered? Well the murders happened at Karlov Manor, so Teysa Karlov seems like the prime target, but it could unknown members of the Orzhov family, or just visiting members of other guilds.
Expect to see sleuthing detectives, hidden identities, and a puzzle to unravel; this one’s a really unusual genre for Magic to tackle. We’ll be shocked if Clue tokens aren’t a key mechanic, and maybe for Commander they’ll bring back Conspiracy?
Alongside the set is a strange curiosity, a Magic: The Gathering themed Clue set. Ravnica: Clue Edition claims it will combine “Clue’s timeless crime-solving experience” with “Magic’s strategic depth”. It claims not to be just a straightforward reskin of Clue, and we’re intrigued to find out more, but the more important question is: will the Ravnica Clue characters be this smoking hot?
Universes Beyond MTG Fallout – March 2024
Universes Beyond continues apace, and our first MTG crossover of 2024 is an unexpected one. It’s Fallout! Expect to see supermutants, power armor, deathclaws and more, with these post-apocalyptic Commander decks. Presumably there’ll be four of these, but it’s anyone’s guess how Wizards has split up the diverse but rather compact factions of the Fallout-verse.
Outlaws of Thunder Junction – Q2 2024
Our first visit to a new Magic plane in 2024 comes in the second quarter, with Outlaws of Thunder Junction. This set is Magic’s take on a much anticipated genre, the Western. Apparently, it will feature “some of Magic’s most notorious villains”, though we can’t imagine Bolas, the Eldrazi or any of the Phyrexians quite suiting a cowboy hat.
A sunset-soaked promo image gives us lots to take in – for instance, is that a little cowboy Tinybones on the left? And that gorgon might be Vraska, while thorn hat up there is definitely Oko. Food for thought, will this be the first mainline Magic set to heavily feature guns? Wizards mainly left them out of the gangster set, and they don’t appear in any of the art we’ve seen so far, but showdowns and standoffs are so central to this genre, we’d be shocked if six shooters are absent.
Modern Horizons 3 – Q2 2024
One of the more exciting MTG releases of 2024 is Modern Horizons 3, also coming in Q2 2024. Expect an influx of powerful new cards for Modern, as well as a kick-ass highpower draft environment, and a couple of choice reprints. This one’s also coming to MTG Arena – though you can’t actually play modern there.
We’re also told there are dual-faced cards and planeswalkers in the set, and plenty of nostalgic callbacks. On that front, artwork shows lots of familiar planes, including the Eldrazi titans on Zendikar, a hydra-loving warrior on Theros, and… a scary demon, who’s either got angel wings or has made a gruesome throne out of them.
Universes Beyond MTG Assassin’s Creed – July 2024
MTG Assassin’s Creed seems to be a much smaller UB release than others we’ve seen so far, and it’s coming in July 2024. There’s no world on whether there’ll be precon decks to go alongside this release, but what we do know is they’ll be sold in a new type of pack – Beyond Boosters.
Apparently these UB-specific boosters are not draftable, “but each takes you on a journey unique to that universe”. We also know the cards will be legal in Modern and contain content from every Assassin’s Creed game.
Bloomburrow – Q3 2024
From a Western world to a whimsical one, in Q3 2024 we visit another new Magic plane, Bloomburrow. This plane is full of anthropomorphic animals, who’ll need to work together to complete a difficult mission.
Expect some cute little frogs, rats, and rabbits – and of course, squirrels – all dressed up like they’re straight from the pages of Redwall Interestingly, this is a world without humans, something Wizards of the Coast has been loath to explore since Lorwyn. Does that mean there’ll be no humanoids at all?
Apparently this release marks the start of a new story arc for Magic: The Gathering: the ‘Dragonstorm arc’. Lead designer Mark Rosewater has called it the most “charming” world they’ve ever made.
Duskmourn: House of Horror – Q4 2024
In a tonal shift that could give you whiplash, we go from cute and cuddly animal adventures to spine-chilling horror in the last premier MTG set of the year. Duskmourn: House of Horror comes out in Q4 2024. It’s apparently set within a haunted mansion – which seems unusually cramped. We’re used to exploring whole worlds, so this is pretty intriguing.
But the way it works is Duskmourn is an entirely indoor world. It’s all one big house. If it’s all as bad as the art we’ve seen, Duskmourn is easily stealing Innistrad’s title of Worst Vacation Spot in Magic. It’s safe to say we’re left with many questions about this one, though the horrifying art makes us momentarily forget them. Apparently the set draws inspiration from modern horror media, so expect jump scares aplenty.
