Magic: The Gathering Announces Avatar: The Last Airbender Set

Fans of both “Magic: The Gathering” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender” are currently buzzing with enthusiasm! Not only has the anime series announced a new sequel following the storyline of “Legend of Korra,” but “Magic: The Gathering” has also shared sneak peeks into its upcoming collaboration with Final Fantasy. However, it seems that this level of excitement wasn’t enough, as “Magic: The Gathering” had another surprise in store at MagicCon: Chicago – a world premiere announcement! Wizards of the Coast unveiled their upcoming line of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” collectible cards.

As an avid fan, I’m thrilled to share that the upcoming collection of cards, reminiscent of ATLA (Avatar: The Last Airbender), will be a faithful recreation inspired by the original Nickelodeon series, ensuring no confusion with the live-action movie or TV show. Mark your calendars for November 21st, as this set is due to drop, following closely behind the Final Fantasy release in June. Wizards are keeping the specific card designs under wraps for now, but a tantalizing teaser trailer has been unveiled, evoking all the right feels of Avatar: The Last Airbender!

The promo showcases the emblem of MTG performing awe-inspiring acrobatics, while the classic theme tune from the series plays softly. Moreover, the title card adheres to its mission, opening with the familiar phrase “A long time ago, the four nations existed in balance, but that tranquility was shattered when the Fire Nation launched an invasion.

What We Know About the Avatar: The Last Airbender x Magic the Gathering Cards

At the moment, we don’t have extensive details about the recently announced Universes Beyond set, but it is scheduled for release in November. Similar to previous sets, this one will be legal for Standard play and will probably introduce mechanics tailored to the world of Avatar, similar to how the Final Fantasy set incorporates iconic Summons like Aeons.

If history repeats itself with this latest Universes Beyond release, enthusiasts should anticipate a variety of items. The launch may feature booster packs, commander decks, and some special collectibles such as gift sets and other exclusive items. Additionally, a Starter Set showcasing two opposing decks is expected. This pattern holds true for the imminent Final Fantasy partnership, which has already unveiled its entire product line prior to the June 21st launch date.

Starting from November 21st, you’ll find the merchandise related to “Avatar: The Last Airbender” at retailers that stock Magic: The Gathering cards. If you’d like to stay informed about its release, consider signing up for the newsletter on their webpage. Initially, the page may not provide much detail, but as Wizards unveil card art and disclose additional information about the set, expect updates with enticing teasers.

This announcement takes us to the three upcoming Magic: The Gathering sets for 2025, as Wizards have previously announced a set inspired by Marvel’s Spider-Man. This web-themed card collection is expected to be released this year, though an exact date has yet to be confirmed. In summary, it promises to be a thrilling (and potentially costly) period for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts who are also fans of other famous franchises.
