Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Magic. The Avatar: The Last Airbender Magic: The Gathering set brings the gaang to Universes Beyond. Launching November 21, 2025, this isn’t just a character cameo or one-off Secret Lair. It’s a full expansion that drops you right into the world of bending, hybrid animals, and cabbage-related chaos.
The Gaang Joins the Multiverse in The Avatar: The Last Airbender Magic: The Gathering Set
This is a Standard-legal release, marking the 108th official Magic set. The entire Gaang is here—Aang, Katara, Zuko, Toph, Appa, and Momo—each reimagined as Magic cards. Expect powerful abilities, deep synergy, and flavorful mechanics that feel tailor-made for this world.
The showcase card is Avatar Aang, a raised foil, double-faced card illustrated by Avatar co-creator Bryan Konietzko. It’s only available in Collector Boosters and only in English, setting it up to be one of the most coveted cards of the year.
Bending Becomes a Game Mechanic in The Avatar: The Last Airbender Magic: The Gathering
The set introduces four brand-new gameplay mechanics:
- Airbending exiles cards and lets players recast them at reduced costs
- Waterbending uses untapped creatures and artifacts to pay for abilities
- Earthbending animates lands into creatures with +1/+1 counters
- Firebending generates red mana when creatures attack
