Magic: The Gathering – Secrets Of Strixhaven Promises Lots Of Magical School Fun In New Card Preview

Though Magic: The Gathering's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set was only just released earlier this month, Wizards of the Coast is preparing to release the next set, Secrets of Strixhaven. The beloved mage school in the universe of Magic: The Gathering, known as Strixhaven, is a setting Wizards of the Coast has played around in before, and this set promises a return to the hallowed halls of the unique five colleges that make up the school when it launches on April 24. Ahead of its launch, we have an in-depth look at various cards, commander decks, bundles, and more that you can expect in Magic: The Gathering – Secrets of Strixhaven. Before paging through our myriad galleries featuring cards and more below, check out the official Magic: The Gathering – Secrets of Strixhaven trailer below: If you want an even more in-depth video discussing this new set, check out the overview trailer here.
