Magic: The Gathering is heading into new territory with its upcoming release, Edge of Eternities. The new set is officially set to launch on August 1, 2025. This space-themed set is sure to include a fresh setting, exciting visuals, and the potential for new mechanics that shift the game in a new direction.
Confirmed Details
Release Date and Format
- Tabletop release is scheduled for August 1, 2025, as confirmed by Wizards of the Coast.
- The MTG Arena release is expected to happen a few days earlier, on July 29, 2025.
- Prerelease events will run from July 25 to July 31, 2025.
Set Theme and Tone
- Edge of Eternities is Magic’s first full dive into space fantasy. The setting introduces a cosmic-scale story that exists outside the traditional planes of the Multiverse.
- This set represents a thematic shift for Magic, combining science fiction elements with fantasy-style gameplay.
Product Lineup
Edge of Eternities will include the following official products:
- Play Boosters
- Collector Boosters
- Commander Decks (Two decks will be released)
- Bundles
- Prerelease Packs
These will be available through local game stores, major retailers, and online distributors. Each product will be designed to offer a different way to experience the new set, whether you’re drafting with friends, building Commander decks, or collecting the most exciting new cards.
Promotional Highlights
- The set features a serialized foil mythic rare called Sothera, the Supervoid, exclusive to Collector Boosters. Serialized cards have become popular collector’s items in recent sets and offer a unique, limited-edition aspect for fans who want something rare.
Why This Set Matters
Edge of Eternities marks a creative shift for Magic, offering players a brand-new setting with a science fiction feel. The space-themed aesthetic expands what players have come to expect from the game and opens the door for new storytelling possibilities.
In the past, Magic has experimented with blending genres—Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty brought cyberpunk flair to a classic plane, and Unfinity leaned into humour and innovation. Now, Edge of Eternities brings players into a space-faring world that could appeal to long-time fantasy fans and newcomers.
With official products including two Commander decks and serialized mythics, the set will appeal to both collectors and players. The unique world-building direction makes it a standout among recent releases. And for those who enjoy the lore of Magic, a new setting offers new characters, story arcs, and themes to explore.
What to Expect from Commander Decks
Though full details haven't been released yet, Wizards has confirmed that two preconstructed Commander decks will launch alongside the set. These decks typically include:
- 100 ready-to-play cards
- A new, set-specific legendary creature as the commander
- Unique cards that tie into the set's themes
Commander products have become a core part of most Magic releases, and Edge of Eternities will likely continue that trend.

- Spoiler season begins on July 8, 2025, when Wizards of the Coast will start revealing cards and mechanics. This is when players can expect to see new keywords, familiar faces, and exciting combos.
- Preorders and promotional events will be available through game stores and online beginning in July. Many stores will also host preview nights, Launch Parties, and sealed leagues.
- Prerelease events are set for July 25–31, offering an early chance to play with the new set. These events are great for new and returning players who want to experience the cards before they hit shelves.
