Maro: Interestingly, Commander and Universes Beyond might be the two most popular things Magic has ever done. We try to present as many options as feasible (i.e. plenty of 60-card formats), but the will of the players dictates so much of how things play out (i.e. so much in store play is Commander)

Next year we are expecting to see six Standard set releases. Which planes and worlds do you anticipate we will see Magic sets for in 2027?

It's a slow news week in the Magic space so I've been ruminating about the future of Magic next year. I'm curious to hear what players predict we will see for Magic in 2027.

Listed below is some known information and past precedent worth considering to encourage discussion:

  • It's worth considering the direction the Magic Universe story is heading towards along with revisits and new Magic Universe sets are possible (In most recent years we get both).
  • New Magic Universe worlds can be entirely new worlds (i.e. Bloomburrow, New Capenna) or first time visits to known planes (i.e. Vyrn).
  • Return to sets in recent times tend to be designed with a strong intention of appealing to nostalgia of long time veteran and/or lapsed players.
  • Typically revisiting a Magic Universe world doesn't happen until at least 4-5 years after its initial debut. I suspect that this precedent may grow in length given the frequency at which we receive Universes Beyond sets nowadays. (i.e. it's likely too soon to return to Bloomburrow or Duskmourn).
  • Keep in mind that roughly half of the sets released next year will be Universes Beyond sets.
  • Considering that we know that there will be several different Marvel sets so a Marvel themed set being released next year is extremely likely.
  • Maro has said on the record that revisits to Universes Beyond worlds are on the table (we're seeing that this year with The Hobbit set).
