Magicbasically unveiled the next year and a half
Wizards of the Coast has been busy, and there’s a lot of sets coming toMagic: The Gatheringin the future, which of course impacts the flow ofMagic: Arena. This week the company showed off two video game-centric collaborations:FortniteandStreet Fighter.
Fortniteis getting “two drops,” with reprints as a focus, and we got our first look at an art tease: Cuddle Team Leader dancing in a club. The reprint focus is good for people who dislikeFortnite, as it’s basically all about the art in this case. That’s about all we have to go on for now.
We got a little more info on theStreet Fighterset though, including the unveiling of the Chun-Li card, which provides her own unique mechanics. It’s “multikicker,” a take on the previously establishedkickermechanic, and “allows you to pay an additional cost any number of times when casting the spell to increase its effect.”
TheFortniteandStreet Fightersets do not have a release date, but they will be a part ofthe Secret Lair distribution system. This is all on top oftheLord of the Ringspromotion that’s coming in 2023, and the previously confirmedWarhammer 40Kset.
Beyond that, a ton of new standard legalMagicsets were confirmed. Here’s the breakdown:
