Magic: The Gathering is officially making changes to all booster packs with its next set, and some of them are going to disappoint fans. While Wizards of the Coast recently held a MagicCon in Atlanta and revealed exciting new details about its plans for the franchise next year, the final set of 2026 has just been released to a middling reception from players. Star Trek introduces many good cards for players to build their decks around, but many believe that it doesn't fit Magic: The Gathering's themes and aesthetic.
Wizards of the Coast revealed that Nauctis: The Sunken Realm is going to be the first set of 2027, and it's an in-multiverse set designed to support an underwater plane with a Bloomburrow-like focus on anthropomorphic creatures. Magic: The Gathering's Black Lotus is officially coming back in Nauctis as an entirely new card, and while it's a nerfed version of the infamous artifact, it will most likely still see a lot of play. Although Nauctis introduces multiple cool cards and card treatments, fans should be wary of major changes coming to booster packs in 2027.
Two new Magic: The Gathering releases have been suddenly announced, and they're coming soon....
