Unlock the Secrets of Strixhaven
Secrets of Strixhaven, the latest wave of Magic: The Gathering has hit Prerelease today at participating game stores around Australia. An OG Lore set, Strixhaven brings a ‘magical school’ vibe to MtG as the five College faculties compete to prove whose Commander deck deserves tenure. That’s right, five dual-colour Commander decks are available for Strixhaven on launch, each with a unique mechanic:
- SILVERQUILL INFLUENCE – Weaponise your words with Silverquill standout Killian, who encourages the rest of the table to attack targets that aren’t you. Tap, goad, and control creatures and savour the mayhem.
- PRISMARI ARTISTRY – Let your creativity run wild with Rootha as your artist-in-residence and cast expensive, bombastic spells. Bigger spells let you generate bigger Elementals, so pull out all the stops!
- WITHERBLOOM PESTILENCE – There’s trouble brewing when Dina leads your Witherbloom forces, so prepare the Pests for sacrifice! Sacrifices grant life, cards, and stackable counters so you can crush the competition.
- LOREHOLD SPIRIT – Set out on a Lorehold expedition with Quintorius! Create Spirits when cards leave your graveyard, then pile on typal Spirit bonuses and buffs to bury your opponents!
- QUANDRIX UNLIMITED – Formulate the equation for victory with Zimone as your constant variable. Cast X-spells for +1/+1 counters and ever-increasing discounts, supercharging your brainy brawling!
Alongside the array of Commander Decks, there will be the usual Play Bundles, Collector Boosters, Prerelease Packs, Draft Night boxes and a Codex Bundle. For the competitive MtG player, the Secrets of Strixhaven WPN Play Season also starts today. Eligible events at participating Australia & New Zealand WPN retailers will feature exclusive new rewards. By participating in at least three events, players can obtain Secrets of Strixhaven card storage dividers themed for the five magical colleges, a keychain, and an awesome acrylic standee featuring the Founding Dragons of Strixhaven. While Secrets of Strixhaven will launch more widely on April 24th, players will be able to get their digital fix on MtG Arena from April 21st, when the Strixhaven set makes it’s Arena debut.
For Collectors, there’s a wide array of rare and collectible cards hitting this wave, with the official Card Image Gallery one of the best places to check out the gorgeous art that continues to impress.
