Magic: The Gathering Has a Banger to Start 2026 With, But It's Shooting Itself in the Foot
Magic: The Gathering already has a confirmed set for 2026 that could be a massive hit, but it may fail to meet fans' expectations in some key ways.
Magic: The Gathering is basking in the success of its recent releases, with the Final Fantasy set reaching impressive milestones for sales that Wizards of the Coast didn't even anticipate, and sets like Edge of Eternities and Tarkir: Dragonstorm being very well received by fans. MTG's Spider-Man set is experiencing some backlash due to card designs, the size of the set, its feel being off, and the fact that it's getting a non-UB version on MTG Arena, so it may not be the smashing success that other releases this year were. Yet, 2026 is scheduled to start with a banger of a set, but Wizards of the Coast is already spoiling it.
