Wizards of the Coast and Nickelodeon have teamed up on a new Magic: The Gathering card set inspired by the beloved animated series “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” and Variety has a first look at seven of the cards coming in the new collection.
Debuting Nov. 21, the set follows the story of Avatar Aang and his friends across the three-season run of “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” The wide-ranging product release will include play boosters, collector boosters, a bundle, a commander’s bundle, “Jumpstart” boosters, prerelease packs, a beginner box and scene boxes.
Wizards gave a first look at the new upcoming set on Tuesday with an initial batch of preview cards released, including a teaser of scene cards that have been created for each of the show’s 61 episodes.
Below, readers can see Variety has an exclusive look at seven different cards from the “Avatar: The Last Airbender” set, which feature fan-favorite characters Zuko, Katara and Iroh, among others: “True Ancestry,” “Brought Back,” “Mirrorwing Dragon,” “Prosperity,” “Rites of Flourishing,” “Zuko, Conflicted,” and “Zuko, Redeemed.”
The “Avatar: The Last Airbender” set marks Magic’s latest “Universes Beyond” collaboration, which sees the popular tabletop card game team up with popular IP to release cards based on stories and characters outside the established world of Magic: The Gathering.
Other recent collaborations have included crossovers with Sonic the Hedgehog, “Final Fantasy,” Marvel for Spider-Man and more characters. Following the release of the “Avatar: The Last Airbender” set in November, Paramount will further its Magic: The Gathering relationship with the release of a “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” set early next year.
