There are two ways to design a Magic set. It'll give background on what the heck I’m on about below. Quick note: If you haven’t played it, I’ve written a very quick guide to how Magic: The Gathering works on the second page of this article. “People always ask, ‘Don’t you get bored? How can you do the same thing for 24 years?’ And I’m like, well, every set is almost its own game.” “Later this year, I’ll celebrate my 24th anniversary working here at Wizards on Magic,” he says. All together, they form a densely intricate game of attack and defence, playable both as physical cards and in Magic: The Gathering Arena.Įldraine is product of a remarkable design machine which somehow spits out a similar set of new cards every three months, so I asked Rosewater how it works. Others feature pie-baking and big bad wolves, and some spin out Arthurian legends. Among 269 new cards in Magic’s latest expansion set, Throne of Eldraine, some tell the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. Mark Rosewater has been head designer on Magic: The Gathering since 2003, overseeing the creation of thousands of new cards in the collectible card game that spawned them all. It’s climbing the beanstalk, giant’s castle, giant’s wife, golden goose, self-playing harp, escape with the goose, chop down the beanstalk.”
This time, Magic: The Gathering Arena ’s Throne of Eldraine expansion. Here’s a comprehensive list of all of the game’s core and expansion sets in chronological order.This is The Mechanic, where Alex Wiltshire invites developers to discuss the difficult journeys they’ve taken to make their games. With so many sets, it can be difficult to remember where certain sets fell in the overall timeline of the game’s history. Lastly, WotC has produced a handful of whacky “Un” sets that aren’t even legal for DCI-sanctioned play because of the way many spoof-like cards in them break the fabric of MTG as we know it. WotC has also printed numerous multiplayer sets like Planechase and Conspiracy, which aren’t included in the Standard rotation. Outside of those core and expansion sets, Wizards of the Coast has also introduced some sets that were meant to stay outside of the standard rotation like Modern Horizons, which reprinted cards regularly used in Eternal formats like Modern. There are also 87 “expansion” sets to the game, including the most recently released Strixhaven: School of Mages set that dropped in April.ĭungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms will be the 88th expansion set for MTG, coming in July. The 28-year-old card game has 21 “core” sets. Magic: The Gathering is the longest standing and most established trading card game with sets of cards being released as early as 1993.
