With the year being so busy, it would be nice if the pricing of this set was a little less extortionate than last time. We're hoping that Wizards deigns to think a little about the pricing here. It's a nice idea, but the price of the previous version of this set was incredibly expensive. We're hoping to see the return of the Venture mechanic, along with more famous figures from the fables of Dungeons & Dragons.ĭouble Masters is a reprint-filled draft set that puts two foil cards and two rare or mythic rare cards in each draft booster. After seeing what a good crossover could be like thanks to Adventures in the Forgotten Realms last year, this could well be the highlight of 2022 if it's handled correctly. This version brings that back, but infuses it with Dungeons & Dragons. Image: Wizards of the Coast Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s GateĬommander Legends was a Magic: The Gathering set that was designed as a draftable Commander experience, and it's a wonderful idea. That means they contain a good mix of cards with winning as the aim, and are a great way for newer players to pick up something that'll help them enter the competitive world of MTG, without having to get the cards by buying singles or opening packs themselves.Ģ022 MTG release Unfinity is the next in Magic: The Gathering rules-bending Un-sets. These are 75-card constructed decks that are meant to be played in tournaments. Magic: The Gathering’s Challenger Decks have all been pretty cool so far, so we're expecting the same again from the 2022 iterations.
It's a nice little collection if you're after a few of the cards. It also comes with a double-sided token of a 1/1 Snake and a 2/2 Zombie. This time around we're getting black cards in the form of Liliana, Heretical Healer Ghoulcaller Gisa Ophiomancer Phyrexian Arena Reanimate Toxic Deluge Sol Ring and Commander Tower.
The Commander Collections are supposed to be sets of cards that help to reprint classic and essential cards from a single colour. So, these are just the MTG 2022 releases we know about right now. It's going to be a bumper year for these extra sets and products, and there'll undoubtedly be some that haven't been announced yet such as Secret Lairs (both Street Fighter and Fortnite are already planned for 2022) and digital-only releases. Now we're moving outside of Standard into, well, everything else. It's a battle that's mentioned in many places in the game's lore, but this'll be the first time we'll get a proper look at the war since Antiquities and a few books that cover the event.ĭominaria United will likely set up the next chapter of Magic: The Gathering's lore in the final MTG set of 2022, The Brothers War. The final Standard Magic: The Gathering set of 2022 has us revisiting a pivotal moment in Dominaria's history: the great war between Urza and Mishra. We don't know much more about the set, but it seems like it'll lead to some reason to revisit the past in the next 2022 MTG release: The Brothers War. This MTG set promises more classic characters with new versions, and should be a big boon to the Commander format given the plane's proclivity for legendary creatures. It's not been that long since we left Dominaria, but we are once again on the precipice of returning there.
It promises a mix of magic and gangsters that's unlike anything we've seen so far in MTG, and it's hard not to see the potential here. Streets of New Capenna is set in a place built by angels, but now run by five demonic crime families all trying to take a proper hold of the place. This could be the most exciting Magic: The Gathering set of 2022 in terms of pure flavour. Despite that, this new set looks to revisit Kamigawa 1,200 years after the original block with a cyberpunk flavour and a mix of familiar faces and exciting new characters. Our original journey to Kamigawa resulted in sets that many simply didn't enjoy, which was made worse by the flavour of the world of spirits, ninjas and samurai it was set on. Our first true Standard MTG set of the year is Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. Frankly, it's not the most inspiring product in the world, but it is a thing that exists, which is good for fans of drafting, even if nobody else is likely to be all that bothered by it.
Innistrad: Double Feature is a combination of both Innistrad: Midnight Hunt and Innistrad: Crimson Vow, but with a special black-and-white artstyle on the cards themselves. Rather than pontificating about it all, let's just get stuck in. However, we're actually kicking off the year with a set that is technically Standard-legal, even though it contains no new cards. As it stands, we've only got four proper Standard MTG sets in 2022 instead of last year's five.
