Fairy Tale with a Twist
A brand new story unfolds after the recent Phyrexian Invasion of the multiverse. The
citizens of Eldraine have fallen to the Wicked Slumber: a curse intended to save the plane
from invaders, but now is slowly putting the realm to sleep. A cast of fairy tale characters
must now work to protect the populace of Eldraine from an unending nightmare. Beautiful
fairy tale-inspired art and mechanics bring this story to life, allowing players to lose
themselves in the Wilds of Eldraine. Meet new and returning characters like Kellan, the Fae-
Blooded, Eriette of the Charmed Apple, and the iconic Syr Ginger, who’ll help tell this
magical tale.
Fight for your fairy tale ending
In Wilds of Eldraine, you control the tale you wish to tell through the thematic gameplay. The new mechanic Roles will allow players to enchant creatures with various storytelling
archetypes such as Monster that grants +1/+1 and trample, or Sorcerer that gives +1/+1
and the ability to scry when attacking. Also being introduced this set is a new mechanic
Bargain, an enticing mechanic allowing players to sacrifice certain cards in return for a
boon. To aid in weaving the perfect story, Adventures, the fan-favourite mechanic from
Throne of Eldraine, and Sagas, return to provide unique gameplay directions and evoke the
feeling of storytelling.
Enchant your deck
The beauty of Eldraine will cast a spell on you with gorgeous new card treatments to
collect. Every booster of Wilds of Eldraine will contain at least one Enchanting Tales card
treatment, which are reprints of powerful Enchantment cards from Magic’s history. Also
appearing are 11 new Borderless Storybook cards, including Eldraine’s only planeswalker,
Ashiok. Additionally, collectors will find 20 rare and mythic Enchanting Tales cards that have
been reimagined in a striking Anime style, each with an even rarer version featuring a totally new Confetti Foil Laminate treatment!
