Introduction: A Cross-World Adventure Arrives
Magic: The Gathering enters the Avatar universe with its upcoming Universes Beyond set, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Players can expect elemental bending mechanics, iconic characters, and elevated artwork in this exciting crossover.
Release Date & First Look Details
Mark your calendars: November 21, 2025 is the global release of the MTG Avatar: The Last Airbender set. Ahead of that, fans can look forward to a First Look reveal on August 12, where WeeklyMTG will unveil mechanics like Waterbending, Earthbending, Firebending, and Airbending, along with Booster Fun treatments and product details.
What Makes This Set Stand Out
-
Standard-Legal Universes Beyond Set — This marks a big shift: Avatar cards will be playable in Standard alongside regular MTG cards.
-
Iconic Character Spotlight: Avatar Aang — The set’s headliner is a stunning double-faced “Avatar Aang // Aang, Master of Elements” card, illustrated by series co-creator Bryan Konietzko. Available exclusively as a raised foil in Collector Boosters.
-
Flavorful Bending Mechanics — Each bending type (water, earth, fire, air) promises unique in-game interactions, making gameplay feel like the show’s elemental battles.
-
Product Lineup — Expect play boosters, collector boosters, and potentially preconstructed products such as Commander decks and themed bundles.
What to Expect in the Spotlight Reveal
The August 12 First Look will be the first showcase of bending mechanics in action. WeeklyMTG will also highlight the Booster Fun treatments, spotlight cards, and official product line for this highly anticipated set
