First Look: Wilds of Eldraine

Wilds of Eldraine returns us to the fairytale-inspired, whimsical plane of Eldraine that we know and love—this time, with a twist. As the dust from the Phyrexian invasion settles, Players will find Eldraine is afflicted with The Wicked Slumber, which has driven many of the plane's denizens into a deep sleep that no one can wake them from.

Take in the breathtaking first look at the full art lands...


With enchanting shadowbox art by Hari & Deepti, the Full-Art Showcase Basic Lands for Wilds of Eldraine capture the foreboding depths of the Wilds while capturing the whimsy present throughout the plane.

Full-Art Basic Lands may be found in Draft, Set, or Collector Boosters.

Beyond the basic lands, you will find another enchanting addition coming with Wilds of Eldraine—Enchanting Tales. Enchanting Tales brings 63 of the top Enchantment cards from Magic's history, reprinted with a fantastical frame.


More Enchanting Tales will be previewed later, but it's never too early to start getting excited. Enchanted Tales will be legal in Limited formats but will not be Standard legal.

One of the most beloved elements of Eldraine is its intrinsic tie to fairytales; the inspiration drawn from both characters and their stories touches every part of the set, from the art to the mechanics. Adventure is a returning mechanic to Wilds of Eldraine, and with it comes a Showcase Adventure frame.


Long-time Magic fans are already familiar with Borderless Art cards, but it is still exciting, especially when the cards in question feature a character that players may be interested in, such as the Planeswalker Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator.


A selection of the Enchanting Tales Bonus Sheet cards will feature alternate art in an anime-inspired art style. These cards can be found in Draft, Set, and Collector Boosters in English and Japanese. In addition, Anime Borderless Enchanting Tales cards found in Collector Boosters may have the Confetti Foil treatment—this treatment will also only be found on English and Japanese cards, and will add a shimmering sparkle to your decks.
