Avatar: The Last Airbender’s crossover with Magic: The Gathering is fast approaching next month, and we’ve got an exclusive look at a handful of cards that make up a single scene set after the end of the TV show (as well as a couple cards from the bonus sheet of the main set).
Flip through the gallery below to see all eight cards, and read on to hear where they’ll be available to both open and play:
Titled “Tea Time at the Jasmine Dragon,” the six cards that make up this panomaric art scene are not technically part of the main set, instead available together in a standalone Scene Box and limited to use in Magic’s Eternal formats like Commander. That’s a big part of the reason why four of the cards are multicolored legendary creatures with abilities that are meant to be built around – though the somewhat novel twist of this particular scene is that most of them feature couples from the end of the show, making it a peaceful epiloque of sorts.
In addition to those six cards, we’ve also got a first look at two “Source Material” cards, which can be found in main set booster packs but are only legal in formats where they were already available. These cards use actual shots from the show as their art, tying classic Magic cards into relevant moments from the series, with their episode number listed at the bottom of the card itself.
This isn’t the first time we’ve shown off the Avatar Magic set, as we revealed a hands-on first look at the Avatar: The Last Airbender Beginner Box back in August. While something like the Scene Box we are revealing today is a solid way to jump into Magic if you are just an Avatar fan more interested in the collection aspect of the game, the Beginner Box is the ideal starting point if you and a friend want to learn how to play from scratch.
Card reveals for the set are in full swing through next week, with prerelease events kicking off at local stores on November 14. It then launches digitally on MTG Arena November 18 before becoming available in paper on November 21.
