Wizards of the Coast has announced the upcoming release of a new card set for Magic: The Gathering (MTG), featuring characters from the popular animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. This announcement was made during MagicCon, taking place in Chicago.
The Universes Beyond set will be available starting November 21, 2025. This marks the latest addition to a series of crossover card sets that have previously included characters from franchises such as Wolverine and Final Fantasy.
Cards from the Avatar set will be Standard legal, allowing players to incorporate them into regular gameplay alongside traditional MTG cards. This change aligns with recent trends that make Universes Beyond cards more accessible to both new and returning players.
While some fans have expressed concerns about the shift towards crossover content, the move aims to attract a broader audience. The introduction of familiar IPs is seen as a strategy to engage those who may not have previously participated in MTG.
Wizards of the Coast has hinted at additional Universes Beyond crossovers planned for 2025, suggesting that more major franchises will join the MTG universe in the near future.
