Magic: The Gathering has released its new set, Secrets of Strixhaven, returning players to the fan-favourite mage university setting.
The set introduces new mechanics like Prepare and Paradigm, expands on the five colleges, and features returning Mystical Archive and Special Guests cards.
Designed for multiple formats, the set aims to clarify rules and deepen the lore, reflecting player interest in both gameplay and world-building.
How do Strixhaven's five new college mechanics stack up against the sheer power of the Mystical Archive reprints?
Will the new 'Paradigm' mechanic's free spells reshape multi-turn strategies in the Commander format?
With rising scarcity, are Magic's most powerful cards becoming unplayable 'museum pieces' for collectors only?
How will the land-hate card Petrified Hamlet impact powerful utility lands in competitive formats like Modern?
Can the new multi-turn Phage combo actually succeed against experienced players, or is it just a gimmick?
Is Armageddon's rare return in booster packs a fun throwback or a format-breaking mistake for casual play?
