In addition to remixing old colors around new styles of play, Strixhaven will introduce several new mechanics to Magic: The Gathering. Witherbloom professor Willowdusk is a Commander focused on channeling life energy into other creature cards. Silverquill’s Commander is professor Breena, which may be the Magic franchise’s first bird warlock. They specialize in multiplication and duplication. Zev and Nev are currently adjunct professors in the Quandrix college. Zaffai, the Prismari Commander, is using elemental magic to conduct the Strixhaven orchestra.

Osgir, the Lorehold Commander, is a professor who teaches about historical military weapons from the world of Magic: The Gathering. There’s a lot flying around with this release, so let’s dive in. Most important of all, however, is the fact that this set of cards wants to amp up the pace of play at the table when Strixhaven launches in April. Along the way, Strixhaven will pose a lot of interesting questions: What if all the known spells in the universe were archived together in one place, buried inside a mysterious library? What if the students hungry for that knowledge were powerful young mages, eager-eyed recruits with a smattering of sexy co-eds? And what if one of the professors was living a secret double life, wracked by confusion and guilt? It feels like an attempt to give the game a new center - at least for now. This set isn’t a just another random corner of the sprawling Magic multiverse. But the intricacies of this new set - and the promise of its accompanying lore - could make it the biggest release of the year. 1960s)Ĭaretaker (Molly Weasley’s era, c.On the surface, Magic: The Gathering’s new set, Strixhaven: School of Mages, looks like a simple pastiche of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts.
