Ravnica Remastered – January 12, 2024
The very first product on the 2024 release schedule came out in January 12, 2024. Ravnica Remastered 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 has a bunch of reprints, so don’t buy packs expecting to see brand new cards.
Reprints from all three Ravnica blocks are featured in this set, and there’s a strong focus on the plane’s iconic guilds. Like Dominaria Remastered, there are cards with retro-style frames, including the coveted shock lands. Now the set is out, you can find a bunch of Ravnica Remastered spoilers here.
Murders at Karlov Manor – February 9, 2024
Our first premier MTG set of the year, which came out on February 9, 2024, was also Ravnica-related. This time, on our fourth visit to the plane, it was a murder mystery theme. Who was murdered? Well as the Murders at Karlov Manor name suggests, Teysa Karlov was one of the victims, but we won’t spoil the whole story here.
In this set there are tons of sleuthing detectives, hidden identities, and a secret code to unravel. It’s a really unusual genre for Magic to tackle, and sadly it seems like it wasn’t that well received. Clue tokens are a key mechanic, of course, and the new keywords fit the flavor as well: Disguise, Suspect, and Collect Evidence.
Alongside this set came a strange curiosity, a Magic: The Gathering themed version of Clue. Ravnica: Clue Edition combines “Clue’s timeless crime-solving experience” with “Magic’s strategic depth”. The gameplay is a strange mishmash of Magic and Clue, and it has some unique cards too.
But the real question for the ages is: are the Ravnica Clue characters this smoking hot?
Universes Beyond MTG Fallout – March 8 2024
Universes Beyond continues apace, and our first MTG crossover of 2024 was an unexpected one. It’s MTG Fallout! You can find supermutants, power armor, deathclaws and more within these post-apocalyptic Commander decks, which arrived early in March.
There are four of these Fallout Commander precon decks in total: one a science-themed deck that uses energy, one a go-wide deck featuring Caesar’s Legion, one an equipment/aura themed deck led by Dogmeat, and the last a mill-focused deck based on mutants and radiation.
Check out all the MTG Fallout commanders here, as well as some of the key MTG Fallout spoilers.
Outlaws of Thunder Junction – April 19, 2024
Our first visit to a new Magic plane in 2024 came on April 19, with Outlaws of Thunder Junction. This set is Magic’s take on a much anticipated genre, the Western. It also features “some of Magic’s most notorious villains” (that aren’t Nicol Bolas, the Eldrazi, or any of the Phyrexians) all sporting cowboy hats.
With mechanics like ‘Spree’, ‘Plot’, and ‘Crimes’, it’s clear the outlaws theme was the key focus for the gameplay designers, yet in terms of its art direction and world-building, it’s very, very Western: full of frontier towns, trains to rob, and haunted mines.
Outlaws of Thunder Junction was also extremely heavy on legendary creatures, introducing some very popular new MTG commanders like Obeka, Splitter of Seconds. This seems to have been quite a high-powered set overall – just take a look at the best MTG Thunder Junction cards.
Modern Horizons 3 – June 14, 2024
One of the more exciting MTG releases of 2024 is Modern Horizons 3, which came out on June 14, 2024. It brought with it an influx of powerful new cards for Modern, a high-power draft environment, and a couple of choice reprints. This one also came to MTG Arena – though you can’t actually play Modern there.
The key themes of the set are Energy and Eldrazi, with lots of new cards supporting both archetypes, like brand new versions of Emrakul, Ulamog, and Kozilek. The set features dual-faced MTG planeswalkers like the ones from Magic Origins, and plenty of nostalgic callbacks.
There are also four Commander precon decks that came out with Modern Horizons 3 – which seemed odd when the set’s after an entirely different MTG format. However, these decks include some of the most interesting EDH designs Wizards has released, so we’re not complaining.
MTG Assassin’s Creed – July 5, 2024
MTG Assassin’s Creed is a smaller Universes Beyond release than others we’ve seen so far, at just 100 cards. It’s coming in July 2024, and features loads of hood-wearing assassins, plus a new freerunning keyword that makes the creature type stronger.
The set has no commons – only uncommons, rares, and mythics – and is legal in Modern. Assassin’s Creed also features a new kind of pack, the Beyond Booster. Apparently these UB-specific boosters are not draftable, “but each takes you on a journey unique to that universe”.
What’s quite unusual is that, because of Assassin’s Creed’s historical theme, this UB set will have Magic: The Gathering versions of real historical characters like Leonardo da Vinci, Sokrates, and Cleopatra. It also features Sagas, and a return of the ‘historic’ mechanic.
Bloomburrow – August 2, 2024
From a Western world to a whimsical one, in August 2, 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.
In fact, something strange happens when humanoids visit Bloomburrow – it seems they are temporarily transformed into animals. Ral is there in the story, in otter form, and it appears that Wizards is playing around with non-canon animal versions of other popular Planeswalkers too.
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 – September 27, 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 on September 27, 2024. It’s set within a haunted mansion that has grown to take over an entire world.
Desperate survivors in ’80s getup struggle to stay alive in an impossible man-made space full of ghosts, demons, murderous toys, and mad cultists. 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 (like what are these Ghostbuster-style devices). The set draws inspiration from modern horror media, with plenty of references, so expect jump scares aplenty.
Magic: The Gathering Foundations – November 15, 2024
Magic: The Gathering Foundations is the final set we know of this year. A beginner-friendly set that aims to teach fans how to play Magic: The Gathering, it contains an interesting mixture of classic reprints and brand new, but fairly simple, cards.
Little is known about this product, except that it shares DNA with Jumpstart, with packs that help newbies learn the fundamentals of deckbuilding. And, of course, we know the release date – it’s coming on November 15, 2024.
