Forspoken Delayed To January

 Magic: The Gathering has flirted with sci-fi a lot in recent years, but 2025’s Edge Of Eternities looks set to be the biggest shift into the genre the game has ever seen.

With spaceship battles, planets, and the return of Tezzeret, the little we’ve seen of it is already among the most out-there and striking Magic art we’ve had in a very long time.

Wizards of the Coast didn’t reveal any cards for Edge of Eternities in its MagicCon Vegas preview panel, but it did give us a real look at the set after its concept art tease late last year. Though it’s not Magic’s first sci-fi set, thanks to Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, it offers us a unique look at the multiverse.

Among the art, we see a green planet coated in trees, with a large black hole in the distance, and in another we have a cyborg warrior brandishing a sword. While the hair is black instead of white, the white armour, glowing sword, and ethnicity of the character certainly gives Wanderer vibes.

By far the most impressive piece, though, is of Tezzeret, floating in the void of space. Tezzeret was one of the main villains of the previous Phyrexian arc, and has been largely missing since Phyrexia’s defeat in March of the Machine. It also shows off some of the harder sci-fi themes of the set, with spaceships engaging in dogfights, a planet blowing up, and another black hole.

Despite these sci-fi elements, Wizards is keen to impress that Edge of Eternities is considered science fantasy. It’ll still include magic and other things from Magic we’re familiar with. For example, one the arts shown is that of a giant space whale, which feels distinctly more Spelljammer-esque than the spaceships and cyborgs we’ve already been shown.
