Magic: The Gathering Reveals More For Avatar: The Last Airbender Set

Magic: The Gathering held a special livestream on Twitch today where the team showed off more for the Avatar: The Last Airbender set

Wizards of the Coast held a special livestream today on Twitch where they revealed more details and some cards for the upcoming Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond set for Avatar: The Last Airbender. As you can see from the images below, they have taken many of the characters, settings, and actions from the iconic Nickelodeon animated series and transformed them into a powerful set of cards that, quite honestly, could break a game wide open if you wield these powers correctly. We have the notes from the team for you here, along with several cards revealed today, as the set will launch on November

Magic: The Gathering | Avatar: The Last Airbender

Sky bison that soar over the four nations. Masterful benders who harness the raw power of the elements. And a cabbage vendor who just can't catch a break. Magic: The Gathering | Avatar: The Last Airbender is filled with all kinds of amazing treatments that will be soaring into your hands. Airbending, waterbending, earthbending, and firebending aren't just iconic bending arts from Avatar: The Last Airbender—now, they're brand-new mechanics in Magic: The Gathering. If you want to transform Avatar Aang into Aang, Master of Elements, you'll need to learn how to use them all.

Airbending

Airbend is a keyword action that helps you control the board without getting violent. When you airbend a permanent, you exile it. As long as it remains exiled, its owner may cast it for {2} rather than its mana cost. While Appa only airbends your permanents, you'll have to wait and see if there are any cards that airbend your opponent's permanents.

Waterbending

Some spells and abilities have you waterbend as part of their costs. The activated ability of Katara, Water Tribe's Hope requires that you waterbend {X}. You must pay {X}, and for each generic mana in that cost, you may tap an untapped artifact or creature you control rather than pay that mana.

Earthbending

Earthbending is a keyword action. Much like how Earthbenders turn the terrain into weapons, you can do the same with the help of spells and abilities that instruct you to earthbend. Toph, the First Metalbender lets you earthbend 2, which turns a target land you control into a 0/0 land creature with haste, then puts two +1/+1 counters on that land. And don't worry; when that land dies or is exiled, it returns as a tapped noncreature land.

Firebending

Firebending is a keyword ability that turns your aggression into a source of power. That's very flavorful for Firebenders! When a creature with firebending N attacks, you add N {R} mana. That mana doesn't go away until the end of combat, letting you use it on any instant-speed activated abilities or spells.

Booster Packs

Now that you know the mechanics of the set, it's time to dive into some of the fun treatments you'll find in Magic: The Gathering | Avatar: The Last Airbender! While we won't be revealing everything today, there's plenty to get excited about. There are new frames, stunning foil treatments, and plenty of surprises in store for the set's debut on October 28.

Borderless Raised Foil Avatar Aang

Harness the elements and transform Avatar Aang into Aang, Master of Elements! This stunning borderless version of Aang brings the artwork of one of the series' creators, Bryan Konietzko, to Magic for the very first time. As Aang fulfills his cosmic destiny to bring balance to the four nations, this raised foil treatment draws inspiration from past Booster Fun designs to create the ultimate Avatar: The Last Airbender collectible. This version of Avatar Aang appears only in raised foil and only in English-language Magic: The Gathering | Avatar: The Last Airbender Collector Boosters.

Borderless Double-Faced Sagas

B the time we meet Aang in the original series, the prior Avatars and their foes are mythical figures. We're depicting their stories on a cycle of mythic rare borderless Sagas. These Sagas, upon reaching their final chapter, transform into powerful legendary creatures worthy of their fables. Borderless double-faced Sagas appear in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Borderless Field Notes

The world of Avatar: The Last Airbender is full of friendly (and sometimes frightening) creatures. We're depicting some of our favorite creatures and creations on borderless field notes cards. This artwork looks straight out of an explorer's sketchbook. The marginalia even points out some of the features and quirks of the Avatar: The Last Airbender world. Borderless field notes cards appear in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Elemental Frame Cards

Combining the in-universe aesthetics of the Avatar: The Last Airbender series with the Magic card frame, elemental frame cards depict your favorite characters and moments in Booster Fun style. With different etchings in the text-box frame depending on the element being depicted, this treatment complements the artwork of the series beautifully. Elemental frame cards appear in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Full-Art Appa Lands

Yip yip! Take flight alongside Appa on this series of full-art Appa basic lands. Depicting various moments during Aang's journey, these lands let you follow Appa's path across the skies of Avatar: The Last Airbender's world. Can you name the moments from the original series that each card depicts? Full-art Appa lands can be found in Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, Bundles, Commander Bundles, and Jumpstart Boosters in non-foil and traditional foil.
