School's back in session for MTG Secrets of Strixhaven, but don't expect to be attending math or science classes. This is a magic college, teaching young spellcasters all they need to know about sorcery and dominating one of the best card games in the process.
I went along to a digital press briefing for MTG Secrets of Strixhaven a little while back, and of all the Magic sets we've had over the past year, this feels like it's the most jam-packed with changes. A host of significant new mechanics are entering the academic year arm in arm with the most stacked product lineup in a while, and it's one of 2026's few original IP amidst a sea of licensed spin-offs. That alone will be enough to stop some fans from drifting off at the back of class.
