The MagicCon: Amsterdam Preview Panel not only revealed the next three in-universe Magic: The Gathering sets, but it also included huge announcements like the return of the Magic Hall of Fame and the dates and locations of MagicCons in 2027.
Following the massive Reality Fracture reveal, the preview panel looked toward 2027 with tons of news.
The first announcement was for Mystery Booster: Commander Edition. The third iteration of the Mystery Booster product will lean into Commander Draft, as each pack will have 20 cards. The set includes 59 new mechanical designs aimed directly for Commander.
Check out some of the new cards coming in Mystery Booster: Commander Edition.
The second bombshell was that the Magic Hall of Fame returns this year!
The Magic Hall of Fame was suspended in 2019, but with the resurgence of competitive play following the COVID pandemic, fans and players have been clamoring for the Hall of Fame to return. And the wait won’t be long, the Hall of Fame will return this year and more news will be announced Sunday on the Pro Tour stream following the quarterfinals.
2027 Magic Sets
Now, let’s dive into the three new in-universe Magic sets scheduled for 2027.
Nauctis: The Sunken Realm — February 5, 2027
Magic players will venture deep into a completely underwater world in February 5, 2027. Nauctis: The Sunken Realm isn’t just a plane of Merfolk, all colors of Magic will be featured in this new set designed around everything taking place under water.
Oh, and did you catch the part of how an apocalyptic danger lurks at the bottom of the ocean? Yeah, that might be a concern for all the underwater civilizations.
Kamigawa: Titanbreach — June 4, 2027
What happens when the worlds of Kamigawa and Ikoria clash? Find out on June 4, 2027 with the release of Kamigawa: Titanbreach! That’s right, as a major repercussion of the Omenpaths opening up, the giant monsters of Ikoria are falling from the sky into the plane of Kamigawa.
The set will feature a classic mechs vs. monsters conflict, scaling up the action to a degree never seen before in Magic. How will the people of Kamigawa survive the existential threat of Ikoria?
Zhalfir — October 1, 2027
A highly anticipated return to the plane of Zhalfir finally happens on October 1, 2027. The plane revolves around the duality of a world powered by the magic of five suns leading to forever daylight, but also connected to the spirit realm full of darkness and monsters, but also ancestors and ties to history.
Zhalfir is Magic’s first real exploration of Afrofantasy. Of course, Teferi Akosa will return as a key character, allowing new players to meet the master of time.
Magic: The Gathering Limited Championship
After months of Limited Championship Qualifiers and the excitement of an all-Limited Pro Magic event, The Magic: The Gathering Limited Championship has a concrete time and place. The first Limited Championship will take place on June 18-20 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
