Welcome in, Prateors and Planeswalkers! Things are heating up in the MTG world, and this time, the calls are coming from across the pond! For those of you who don’t know MagicCon Amsterdam is taking place this weekend and it’s shaping up to be a big one. MagicCon is an amazing event and con guests get exclusive first looks at what’s coming up in Magic. While we can’t bring you live coverage, we’ve got the deets on a lot of the exciting things WotC showed off at the convention. Trust me you’ll want to check this out.
Bloomburrow
First off there’s the highly anticipated Bloomburrow set. Taking place in the gorgeous locale of the same name, Bloomburrow tells the stories of brave animal warriors. Players will be immersed in a fantastic world filled with danger, bravery, and no small amount of adorableness. From the event:
Magic fans received an update on Bloomburrow, a cute and cozy new world that doesn’t include humans at all, and instead includes a bold adventuring party of anthropomorphic animal friends—like squirrels, frogs, rats, and rabbits—that will need to band together on an important quest. Bravery comes in all sizes! Put your best paw forward and enter the world of Bloomburrow. When elemental forces rage out of control, the salvation of Valley falls on the shoulders of its smallest protectors. Fight beside mice, frogs, bats, birds, lizards, squirrels, and other critters as you restore the balance of peace.
Bloomburrow will release on August 2, 2024 and is available for pre-order now from online retailers like Amazon, your local game store, and wherever Magic products are sold.

Duskmourn: House of Horrors
DRASTICALLY shifting gears, the next set on the horizon is an homage to classic horror. Travel through a terrifying planewide house with horror around every corner. Plus, the return of an exciting mechanic:
Experience the thrill of overcoming impossible odds and uncover chilling secrets in Magic’s first contemporary horror set. “Who will survive, and what will be left of them?” That’s a question both Magic fans and our story protagonists will be asking themselves. Duskmourn: House of Horror takes place on a new plane, Duskmourn, inspired by the genre of modern horror from the 1980s up through the present day. But there’s a twist! Duskmourn isn’t just any plane, it’s an infinite haunted house populated by horrors, nightmares, and other terrifying entities.
And just like with any good piece of horror media, we have one more surprise for you! In Duskmourn: House of Horror, the Commander decks have something returning that has been requested for years: Archenemy! This optional game mode pits three players against one. But don’t worry if you’re the one flying solo—you’ll have a special set of twisted schemes at your disposal.
