Overview
- Wizards of the Coast showcased 47 new Secrets of Strixhaven cards, a return to Magic’s wizard‑school setting, in a press preview reported by Polygon.
- The set debuts prepare, a design where a creature carries an attached spell and, once prepared, lets you cast a copy of that spell.
- Each college gets a distinct mechanic: Silverquill uses Repartee, Prismari uses Opus, Witherbloom uses Infusion, Lorehold brings back Flashback, and Quandrix uses Increment.
- Two planeswalker professors arrive as new cards: Ral Zarek, Guest Lecturer, and Professor Dellian Fel of Witherbloom.
- The Mystical Archive returns as a bonus sheet in boosters with 65 reprinted instants and sorceries, including Japanese alternate art and new foil treatments.
