So it’s fitting that Dominaria: United’s Q3 release in 2022 will begin MTG’s 30th birthday festivities.Īlong with opening up an anniversary for MTG, this set will also signal a shift in the Standard rotation. Many of the game’s major stories are tied to it. Dominaria: UnitedĪs a plane, Dominaria is the primary home for MTG lore.
Streets of New Capenna will come out in Q2 of 2022 and it will be the final set to be added to the current Standard rotation before the oldest four sets are removed from legal play. Elspeth Tirel and Ob Nixilis will undoubtedly play a major role in this set. This mob-themed set takes players to a previously metropolitan city of angels that is now controlled by demonic crime families. Neon Dynasty will be the second-to-last set to be added to the current Standard rotation. That started a block of sets based in Kamigawa that ended in 2005 and MTG lore has not revisited the Japanese-themed plane since. This plane and its lore were first visited by Wizards of the Coast in 2004 with Champions of Kamigawa. Pre-releases for the set will start the second week of that month. The set is scheduled to drop during the third week of February. Kamigawa: Neon DynastyĪ return to the Kamigawa plane will be the first set of 2022. Here’s a list of the Magic sets coming in 2022. The only sets from 2021 that will be usable in Standard are Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, and Innistrad: Crimson Vow. This means that you have until the fall to use cards from Zendikar Rising, Kaldheim, Strixhaven: School of Mages, and Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. Following that rotation in 2022, the oldest four sets will be kicked out of the format. Standard’s yearly rotation happens in the fall.
