Magic: The Gathering - March of the Machine

Campaign & Launch Highlights!


The epic conclusion of Magic's greatest battle is upon us. Elesh Norn and her Phyrexian army have finally invaded the Multiverse, breaching countless planes. Can the remains of the Gatewatch turn the tide as the Phyrexian hordes threaten to assimilate or destroy everything in their path? The fate of all planes is at stake. 

March of the Machine Highlights: 

  • Fates of countless Planes hang in the balance – March of the Machine truly is a battle for the Multiverse, and opening a pack should feel like you're catching visions of planes from all over. A first look at Booster Fun treatments reveals that we've included both characters from around the Multiverse and revisited borders and special treatments from past sets. 
     

  • Multiverse Legends – This is a non-Standard-legal bonus sheet like the Mystical Archive from Strixhaven: School of Mages or the retro artifacts of The Brothers' War. It will contain reprints of iconic characters in their home planes' Booster Fun treatment. 
     

  • Five new Commander decks -- With the Phyrexian invasion of the entire Multiverse underway, this is the perfect time for Planechase! This multiplayer supplement lets you travel from one location to another, with the rules changing based on where your battle is currently taking place. Each March of the Machine Commander deck comes with ten different Planechase cards—five new, and five reprints. Chase the Phyrexians around the Multiverse or add some flavor to your next Commander battle.  
     

  • March of the Machine: The Aftermath -- This small set—50 cards—focuses heavily on the story, showing what happens after the events of March of the Machine. Which characters live, which ones get a happily ever after, and which ones don't live to see the aftermath themselves. This is a set for those invested in the story, the characters, and what comes next. March of the Machine: The Aftermath is a set of 50 new Standard-legal cards sold in five-card boosters. When we say Magic is going to change forever, you'll see those changes on these cards and in the story.
