Magic: The Gathering – Foundations

The release of Magic: The Gathering – Foundations brings with it a new baseline for the game. It's simple, it's exciting, and it's going to be a foundational part of how we share Magic. We're ushering in a new era of Magic alongside Foundations. In the past few years, we've tried bold ideas, iterated on products, and explored new horizons of Magic design. Now, we're taking what we've learned and delivering the best version of Magic we can. Our innovations lead to exciting changes coming in Magic's future, and we're thrilled to share some of them with you today.

• We've heard your concerns. We are streamlining our release cadence beginning next year, spreading it out further with a balanced, digestible schedule that includes Magic settings and Universes Beyond.
• Upcoming Universes Beyond booster releases will be legal in all formats. Standard will also begin rotating with the calendar year starting in 2027, providing players with more places to play cards they love in formats they choose.
