Magic: The Gathering Reveals ‘Edge of Eternities’ – A Cosmic Adventure Awaits
Wizards of the Coast has officially announced Edge of Eternities, the next highly anticipated Magic: The Gathering set, scheduled for release on August 1, 2025. This expansion will introduce players to a new, otherworldly plane, blending deep space exploration with fantasy-driven elements. With bold new mechanics, stunning cosmic artwork, and an expansive storyline, Edge of Eternities promises to be one of the most ambitious sets in MTG history.
A Journey Beyond the Known Universe
In Edge of Eternities, players will traverse the vast unknown of a plane where celestial empires clash, ancient gods slumber, and time itself is fractured. This set will introduce new legendary creatures, representing powerful Starborn Entities, Void Travelers, and Eternal Warbands, each fighting for control over a realm on the brink of cosmic collapse.
The set’s story follows the Rift Pilgrims, a faction of explorers who uncover a long-forgotten artifact capable of reshaping reality. As they attempt to harness its power, they awaken the Nihil Warden, a long-dormant entity capable of erasing entire civilizations from existence.
New Gameplay Mechanics
Edge of Eternities introduces three new mechanics, each reflecting the unique nature of the set’s cosmic setting:
Voidborn – A new ability allowing creatures to return from exile with added effects, symbolizing their journey beyond time and space.
Eclipse Counters – A strategic resource that alters spells and permanents based on how much cosmic energy has been built up.
Fractured Time – A mechanic enabling players to take actions out of sequence, bending the rules of turn structure in unprecedented ways.
Additionally, fan-favorite mechanics Foretell and Suspend will make their return, reinforcing the time-warping themes of the set.
