Magic: The Gathering's next big crossover is with itself

Reality Fracture introduces the cast of Magic to a mirror, and they don't love what they see.

Magic: The Gathering's next big crossover is with itself

Magic: The Gathering is set to introduce a major crossover event, with its next expansion focusing on itself. The storyline, driven by planeswalker Jace Beleren, aims to create a new multiverse to escape the threats Magic's setting has faced recently, such as Phyrexians and Eldrazi. This will result in mirror matches between famous planeswalkers and their doppelgangers, such as Chandra versus a cryomantic version of herself and Liliana against a version who practices life magic, both donned in white.

While not all players may be familiar with these characters, Wizards of the Coast has ensured that paired cards will be included in booster packs, allowing fans to understand the contrasting versions of characters like Tomik Vrona and Ajani. Reality Fracture, the expansion set, is set to be released digitally on September 29 and globally on October 2, with pre-release events starting on September 25.
